Do you mean performance, appearance, or both?

JC, not that I might be an expert, but you have to establish a goal also. Do you have a particular power level, HP result you are looking for? Is this a daily driver? Weekend tracks? 1/4 mile?

Mine is a daily driver to work, never sees track. Goal : a few more horses (20+), remain mostly stock, some handleing.

What I have done :

- Grounding kit ($75) cheap, who knows.
- Japtrix Y and mid pipe, should be a few ponies (8+), around $500 installed.
- Eibach springs : lower a bit, better hadleing, $220 + $100 install

The rest is mostly show tidbits, LED markers, etc. Viper alarm, tint. Next I have (at home, ready for install)

- Samco hoses (mostly dress up) $100
- Stillen brake pads (front and rear) $110
- SS brake lines, got a good deal on them $175

I got the hoses on a group buy and at a good price, mostly dress up. I got the pads looking to reduce dust and improve perf a little bit. While on the phone they ofered me the SS brake lines at a good price, so what the heck.

I have not done an intake because

A) Seems to me the stock setup is pretty efficient
B) There has been conflicting info on how much you really gain with one
C) I rather stay stock unless I believe is a good move.

What else... oh, yeah, staying with current rims and tires for now. Might go with wider thread but plan to stay on 18" unless a set of track rays come my way at a good price.

Going to synthetic oils (engine and trany/diff) as soon as I get to the shop and have some time. I am at 6300 miles or so.

Best results :

#1 : Eibachs. So happy, and such a deal. ($320 or so installed)

#2 : Japtrix Y and mid pipe. The sound is great (for me, that is quiet great) and you can feel the power. ($500+ installed)

Hope all this ramble helps...

Intake, exhaust, headers, grounding kit, hi flow cats, weight reduction, chip, etc. are good for start. Only 5 out of those listed are available though.
