First performance mod, take off eyelids.

Although there was a member here who claimed the eyelids served a functional purpose, the only one I can think of is eye trauma.

Very cool, the unique Angel eyes. Quite a few countries won't allow them, enjoy that you have something a bit different.

It's definitely cuter than mine--stock '04 Tour' Coupe, 13+k on it when bought, $22k!!! Down at Puerto Rico they're so expensive! Owning a Zed here
is a blessing from God. (White Pearl).

wow I love that ride man it's very neat. I would take off the eye lids like the others said do. For mods start with pop charger. If you don't wanna put a full exhaust you can just change the y pipe it will make a good difference. Also hfc but they are a little bit expensive. Plenum spacers are pretty popular but I don't know how succesfull they are, usually people run some 5/16 spacers. Anyways I hope you enjoy your ride on the beautiful canadian roads ahhaa. I might actually see you around this summer, I live like what 2 hours away about. I'm just past sackville so anyways we might get to meet each other and get a little Z run with other people hehe.
