If you get wheels set aside money for some springs. New wheels on stock ride height is a sore sight (IMO).

Once you get the wheels sell your polished 18's with tires (can get some $ for those) and then get the CAI/Tuner with the $ from the wheels. You may need to pony up a little to get the CAI and Tuner but this way you get looks and some performance.

Very very wise words. Congrats on the new ride!

After just having shorty headers installed, I have to say get BBK shorty headers. It will give your car more power and a VERY NICE exhaust note.
