Performance or appearance? It all depends on which way you want to take your car....

def hit up bama for tunes, great on my manual but i hear it does wonders for autos,
n looks wise i'd say nice set of wheels n maybe stripes, also maybe tint (would be cheap cuz its only 2 windows as you dont need it on the quarters or rear)

i might have to add that tuner to my christmas list =] as for wheels however, those are going to have to wait till i need to change my tires.

any other ideas for performance?

looks like you've got everything besides a tuner and a super charger

gears, or tuner + gears if you have neither.

auto you're probably on 2.71's or 3.31's at best (likely the 2.73..). jump to 3.71's and viola.

Feel like deja vu just happened.. You will really feel the difference with gears, tuner brings out the best in your CAI you already have. Combine the 2 and you're going to feel the difference in your buttocks..

awesome! i forgot all about gears! i definately need those.
now since im putting all this power on my car, should i also switch over to an alluminum driveshaft too?

ive just been seeing a bunch of youtube video's where people that have superchargers and what not, put the car on a dyno and they end up breaking the U-joints or something like that.

Before you get the gears, you should get the wheels and tires to increase grip:
