J Bauer, if your car doesn't have the on board computer I suggest you buy a stalk and get PDwight's cable. It is a nice addition. If you don't have cruise control you can add that too.

Another thing that isn't an upgrade is to pull the front bumper and clean out all the accumulated debris from the ductwork and in between the a/c condenser and radiator on both sides. While you're in there, make sure both the high and low note horns are working. You can really only replace them when the bumper cover is off, they are near the passenger side radiator. If you want to upgrade your horns you can do that. And you need to have to bumper pulled to do a proper job of adding mesh to the air inlets on the 03 and 04 models.

Finally you should look into and think about re-routing your emergency front trunk release cable from hidden behind the passenger side headlight to behind the bumper cover cutout for the tow hook. That way you can get into the frunk if the car has a dead battery and you can't plug a battery tender into your cigarette lighter. The 03 and 04 cars have an electric trunk release mechanism.
