Outside of getting a JimC chip(planned), and getting some nice clear lights (planned), what other types of upgrades are available that someone might do to either add some added looks or increase performance for a reasonable cost?

(I'd *LOVE* to get some snazzy wheels and tires, but I don't have $3k to drop at the moment..Maybe next spring.)

looks and performance? Since the car is so damn good looking (biased opinion), there's really only suspension and +1/+2 wheels left to discuss. You don't have to spend $3k to get a good looking package. Many on the board will probably part with their slightly used 16" or 17" wheels, just ask (you know, the freaks who gotta have 18" wheels ;^) aah just kidding) You can also go to tirerack.com and run their wheel fitment program...let's you see what each style will look like on your car, maybe even in your car's color. Packages are priced in all ranges. I haven't looked into the susp mods yet, but from what i've heard, the improvements can be huge. Take your time and keep it tasteful--
