The list goes on and on... You've only just started. Check out some of the members garages. Sometimes when I think I've done a lot to my car, I look at someone elses and see what more potential I have.

Power of an N/A car is never going to be crazy. If you want to do all the bolt ons definitely get a professional tune. That is what truly gets rid of some of that throttle lag. Wheels are always a plus. I think some of the best performance I've gotten for the money is my sway bars. Just installed coilovers yesterday so I'm sure my ride will be improved. GL bud, and get ready to spend a lot of money. Try not to impulse buy as you wind up making mistakes or regretting it in the end. Take your time and do the research.

You have a couple options and prices vary where you go...

1. Tint (looks cheap IMH)
2. Vinyl overlays (check vinyl shops or BlueBatMobile)
3. Painted (looks the best when done right)

yeah that should be it after you turbo it out.
but now that you'll be moving quicker, you need to be able to slow down faster to compensate...so then you need to upgrade the brakes, lines, redline fluid. then you can call it a day.
oh yeah, now the suspension isn't in line with the rest of the car...so now you'll need strut bars, sways, braces everywhere, roll cage inside the car....the transmission, I forgot all about the transmission. you'll definitely need to upgrade that also.
after awhile you might not be happy with your car...because once again it's inadequate...now you can look into weight reduction.
you can change the all the carpeting for thinner ones, swap the whole car for carbon fiber...

It all started with my Acura RSX and my dad... he gave me the sickest paint job, chameleon paint, 7 colors. Then I continued with everything: interior and exterior. Now, I can't imagine buying a car thats hard to mod (and I'm more of a DIY kinda guy). Also doesn't help when my dad owns an auto body shop.

It's super addicting but to me it's worth it! Great to see all the modded cars on this forum!

Is it an "S" model, or manual? Not sure what you drive.

If not, add paddle shifters.
