WELCOME! hmmmmmm turbo???? lol j/k. i'd keep it stock untill i really break it in(3k miles or after first oil change). first thing i'd do is install the best suspension and get the widest wheels possible without rubbing. wish i woulda done that instead of spend alot of money on just simple bolts ons...but thats just me. depends on what road u plan on going down the future, race car? daily driver/weekened racer? show car? turo set up or n/a?...all things u should think about

More show car than racer. I don't want to IGNORE the performance, but I don't have the time to get into racing it.

Yeah. It's got the stock alarm and audio system---for now. I have a hard wired XM satellite and a seperate 60 gig I-pod only for the car.

I think I have decided to go with suspension first--and tint---then rims---then a bodykit before the fall.

What do you guys know about the 30hp chip for the EX?

i would say wheels because they can give your car a better feel and drastically change the appearance.

Change the look of it... it has enough going for the engine to hold its own for a while... I say tint, rims (dark w/chrome lip), suspension, alarm and you're good to go until you can afford body work stuff like skirts and whatnot
