What's the first thing you upgraded?

Already considering getting a 2016 FRS before the end of the year and I was wondering what's the first thing you upgraded after you got your FRS? Suspension? Exhaust? Intake? Did you do any exterior mods as well? I'm going to leave the engine bone stock for the time being.

Changed the emblems, shift knob, and rear view mirror. After that the big mods came through.

I drove mine stock for the first 5k miles, did a few autox's, then changed out the wheels and tires, lowered a little with RSR Sport coilovers... Wow! What a difference! Looks better and handles better... primarily from the better, wider tires.

Brake pads and fluid as they were the first let down, driving back from the track after my second ever HPDE was very harrowing with spongy faded brakes.

Upgraded (added)a center arm rest ....... that's all it needed, for comfortably driving around the countryside .......

Good plan for leaving the engine bone stock ........ forever, IMHO (for average driving).

Oh, you might consider an aftermarket muffler ..... to let out a bit more sound .....

Actually, the car is set up pretty darn good, right off of the boat ..... give it a chance to show you what it can do ........ more than likely, it can do more than you can handle .......
