I think from my readings so far, since we live near TME, first cheaper yet worthy mods are doing those diazen bushings, and I'm still trying to find out what sways, but adding new sways. You'll still retain ride quality, but have a firmer ride and more control. TME can do the installs as well.
Besides any repairs you need to do or maintence that is of course. I am having all the door dings and dents taken out of mine this week, replacing the glass and working on a deal to get HID's installed, I will also try and add the XM radio soon. I ALSO need to replace 1 climate control bulb, than I can focus money on modding, would like to get everything else done first.
Then once the things running good, I forsee that dragon TQ being a worthy upgrade, and I am still trying to figure out about the ECU upgrade. My suspension is fine for me, but it looks like tokico + eibach or something is a nice improvement, yet alot firmer.
I read one article that you need longer studs to install a STB(strut tower brace), and most need washers or what not, I can't find anyone saying, "wow this thing rocks", yet. so I'm not sure the worthyness, I have seen that in the searches and faq's for the bushings and sways.

the money pit has got to you already. soon enough you will have spent more on mods then you paid for the car. But at least you didnt get a sc300 or else you would be thinking about turbos and engine swaps.

FINALLY got pictures
I just finished washing / waxing my car...so I took a couple of pics. It's bone stock (well...I put 9005 Silverstar bulbs in...) Just thought I'd share.
I cleaned my stock chrome wheels as well as I could, but I was wondering what products do you guys use to really clean them off, and bring out a nice BLINGIN' shine...
