but it really depends on what you want to do with your car. People here mention sound deadening and the like and that to me is a waste of money, but I've been in a friends car who did a ton of it and he took the time to do it so well you literally could not even hear the windshield wiper motor. It was really amazing.
When I bought the car I wanted to gut it, get it down to <2500 lbs because racecar. Now I'm looking forward to turning it into more of a GT car eventually, comfy cruising with fun on demand sounds like a great combo. A little softer on the suspension and a bit of sound deadening, fix up all the rattles, start taking care of the paint, etc.

I'd love to beat on it all day at the track and take the long way home the next day.
