Easy - $500 - Open Flash Tablet w/e85 tune. Everyone that has access to e85 should do this immediately.

The other $500 it all depends on your goals,
1. Driver mod
2. Tires
3. Brakes pads + Fluid
4. Header

3. Led bulb swap for all incandescents
4. Clear or smoked side markers

Well, since I already got winter tires & steelies, & I'm getting a clear bra when the weather clears up (I'd highly suggest doing it when you buy your car if using as a DD, I didn't & I regret it) I'd go for one of these (in no particular order)

Again this is an "or" list not an "and" list
1) Exhaust
2) Nice set of 17" or 18" rims.
2b) Performance Tires for the new rims
3) Tint & New Tailights/Brakelights (& hookup the bottom brakelight)
4) Track Day Entry/Insurance/Gas/Merchandise
5) Aero Kit

So many people suggesting catbacks...I get the sound/looks aspect, and will picking one up eventually myself, but there are much better ways to spend $1k on a stock car that actually have an effect on performance.

If you want power, just buy a header and or/ OFT. Or put it towards a drop + wheels/tires.

Counting the $500 or so I've already spent on small mods, I'd probably get:

1) Grimmspeed Strut Tower Brace ($170)
2) Back up camera + install ($130)
3) LED front/rear turn signals + relay ($50)
4) Radar detector? ($150+)
=$1000
