Post pictures of your car.

Don't be hesitant, and look around in the forum for a while, to see what mods you like and what's not.

Sway bars, coilovers, better tires and wider wheels. This will take care of the handling side of things.

Agreed!

Interior LED lights are a must (amber is gross), along with a LED parking light.

WeatherTech floor mats! I got those first. IMO so far my best investment, plus when I'm cleaning the inside, it saves time.
