Ignorant thing to say, considering you just bought one and are still clueless. For under $1500 in mods you could make 300 ft-lb of torque at your engine.

So you have $1800 to put into visual mods. I would go to PFYC.com and get the Apperence package, you get a hood and a spoiler or airdam for only 1k, it will be anohter $400 to paint everything so you now have $400 left over.
As a side note make sure you dynomat the car, with all that money intothe systme you dont want the rattling.

All of that money in appearance, when you could do a top swap for $1k? Run 13s for less than $2k? Different people have different priorities, I prefer to take it all in moderation.  BTW, I highly recommend the SLP GTX spoiler.

Lino- some people just don't care as much about performance as much as most of the people on this site. i don't think that means we need kick him out. i think if he didn't bring up imports no one here would really have a problem with it but anyways good luck with the new car chitownhitta get us some pics when you get your new stuff put on.
