Tires.
BFG Rivals to be specific. You will think you bought a new car with magic cornering powers. Everything else is just bling. |

Removing the sound generator....take out the whole thing, plug the holes and make your car quieter with the right sounds AND really clean up the engine bay in the process.
Getting a drop-in filter from K&N or Apexi, etc. better sound and slightly better power/response.

OEM crash bolts.
For HK$116 each (about $15) they're some expensive bolts, but for the difference they make (with a proper alignment) they're a steal. OFT is a good investment as well if you take the time to learn to get the most out of it. |

I replaced the stock antenna with a CF one because the stock antenna kept bending over like a banana.
My theory on tyres is that they produced too many for the production of prius cars , and are trying to convince us petrol heads that they good for 86/brz/frs cars. |

I guess this may be dependent on where you live, but for me an upgrade I had to make was replacing the OEM horn. I live in a city full of dopey drivers and the hopeless horn provided often meant nobody realized I was the one using my horn. Due to the potential danger of a horn sound nobody took seriously I decided it must get replaced immediately.
What you replace it with is entirely up to your tastes, I didn't like any of the aftermarket tones. I went with a stock horn tone from something that had some presence as far as the tone is concerned. I got a horn from a Subaru Tribeca, and it works way better than the original. |

I want that cargo net though. I found one on Amazon. Is this the one you have and/or do you think this one will work?

On topic,I just bought some new wheels and I'm just waiting for the weather to warm up and get rid of all of the snow to throw them on. |
