Tint...
Espelir lowering springs
Tokico HPs
Racing Beat rear sway with Clunk-Fix braket...

Will dramatically change the handling....for the uber good..

I would stick with suspension and style....leave the power mods in your wallet.

Haha I have done plenty of driving but im curious as to what to do first. WHat is a good system to put in that hooks up to an ipod and what are some ideas to change the look if the interior so it doesnt look so "stock"? The less expensive the better.
