mods at it

done without an agenda, the mods will just fu#kup an excellent design

since you sound like you have no clue, STAY AWAY from the aftermarket mods until you DRIVEN the car for at least 6 mo

THE ONLY THING you should concern yourself with is having FRESH tires on the car (other than changing all the fluids and making sure the OEM brakes are near 100%)

AGAIN, DO NOY FU#K with the car until after YOU can determine WHAT needs to be changed to suit YOUR driving skills.

Most people will tell you a driver's school is the 1st thing you should do, probably true. Ignore the advice on coilovers, etc unless your car is going to be on the track all the time. If you commute with it or use it daily, sway bars, coilovers and roll cages are not what you need (even IF you think they sound.look cool).

If you can't tell, LEAVE IT ALONE!!!

You will screw it up.

Aftermarket crap on a car just to have aftermarket stuff on your car is the WRONG reason to change things.

If you want to do stupid changes, get yourself a Honda, slam it and put on a big tailpipe and put LOTS of aftermarket stickers all over the car, windows and all.
