Eh, I think I'll grab the Megan Coilovers - $888 shipped on eBay. I'm getting my tires/wheels for around $1k after all said and done (friend owns a shop)
Besides the iPod hookup - clean the carpets a bit/interior - clean the engine bay
What else would you all do? I just want to keep the simple look. Eventually I may throw some better audio in it but I'm happy with the audio now.

Be very careful if using water in the engine bay. Protect all electrical parts including the alternator.
There is a sub on the rear shelf. It's a 2 ohm, 8" sub. Plenty of threads here on sub repairs and swap outs. I repaired my rear sub by refoaming it and replaced the two front door speakers with 5" Polk Audio speakers. Polk has a 5" speaker that fits into a 4" enclosure. All in all the stock Pioneer and Nak systems are pretty decent IMHO.

What rims and tires are you going to put on it?

Not sure what rims and tires yet - I will know by weeks end. I use this stuff called CD-2 Engine Detailer - I swear by it

Low - thanks for the compliment, but it is far from done
Gym- def check the vndors and classified areas of the forum first before reverting to the Ebay route. Absolutely nothing wrong with going that way, but you can find some pretty sweet deals here as well. Great thing about buying here on the forums is that you pretty much know that the people here are car enthusiasts, such as yourself, and will not try to rip you off. Not to mention the discounts from the vendors. With the Megans, it is pretty much cut and paste, as far as install. Don't even have to compress any springs since you will be yanking the entire thing out as a unit. All you have to worry about is adjusting to your comfort level.
