Welcome to the forums! What do you ultimately want to achieve? More power, better sound, better handleing, visual, etc. How much would do you want to spend?

You list is fine, minus the coil packs and plugs...not really gonna help.

DO NOT buy accel coil packs... if yours work fine, you're not doing any but going to a worse coil pack, you don't need to spend alot of $ on sparkplugs if its a stock car.... cold air intake is a bit of a waste of money instead of all of <--- you should buy some 4.10 gears. The mach 1 chin spoiler and grille delte is a common mod because it looks good, the inserts are alright, its personal prefrence, and uhh mudflaps? I know the stock ride hight is high but don't take the 4x4 thing seriously.

Nothing wrong with mudflaps, as long as they don't look like their from a truck!

There are splash guards that you can get molded on
