Take advantage of the Marketplace here. There are some REALLY good deals on some REALLY nice stuff.

Ill be nice and keep my comments to myself other than that....except please lay off the tail light tint mang. At the rate your going you'll tint your back patio lights black too.

Good start.

If it were me...

For looks:
I'd change up the tint on the rears so that it wasn't 100% blacked out.
I'd get a shorty antenna.
I'd drop it.
I'd get rid of the mud/splash guards.
I'd throw some wheels on it with good offsets.
I'd pick some aero that I liked.
I'd get some 06+ headlights.

For nice engine sound:
I'd get a catback exhaust that I like after listening to others'.
I'd get some HFC or TPs.
I'd get an intake that is easy to maintain/clean.
I'd get a plenum spacer.

For DD performance:
I'd get some true coilovers.
I'd get camber arms, toe bolts & spring-bucket-delete toe arms for the rear.
I'd get lightweight pulleys (only underdrive if you're for sure staying NA).
I'd get adjustable sway bars.
I'd get a tune.
I'd buy some slotted rotors & stainless brake lines.

For track/fun performance:
I'd get a new performance/street clutch & flywheel setup.
I'd get a good LSD.
I'd buy a BBK.
I'd spend money on some nice lightweight 17 wheels/tires dedicated for the track preferably 5 the same size so you have a spare & can rotate.
I'd get some engine management with tuning capabilities.
I'd get nitrous.
I'd add oil cooler, upgraded oil pan & power steering cooler.
I'd upgrade radiator & all hoses.
I'd get a rollbar/cage to keep me safe.
I'd replace/upgrade bushings & mounts.

For da sickness:
I'd invest in a new built, sleeved, & stroked engine.
As soon as the new engine goes in, I'd have the stock engine reworked & ready to go in when built engine blows.
I'd add twin turbos.
I'd upgrade the tranny.
I'd start upgrading everything that I could.
I'd start stocking up on spare parts to have on hand when shiz breaks.

... but then it would be my dream car & not yours. You have the right idea. Check out other people's rides on here and just do whatever you like. A lot of the folks on here have great taste.

Good luck OP. BTW, sorry for the crazy long post. I'm on some medicine tonight.

^^ Must be some good **** then. OP, 06+ tails, nice wheels and a small drop would really set it off. Check out the marketplace like Driven said, there are some sweet deals sometimes.

It totally depends on your wheel, tire, camber, drop, and if you have rolled fenders.

Like being rear ended? I've seen some cars with super dark tint on their tail lights before, very hard to see their brake lights. Especially at day when the sun is shining on them as well... I'd tone it down or remove it completely. With as little as people pay attention and tailgate, your *** is gonna get rammed soon.

The rest of it looks fine... i'm not a fan of huge contrast differences like this but to each his own. I'd get black wheels too to keep the theme going. Stockers just don't match the white on black contrasting effect.
