Hi,

My best advice is to first get to know the car as it is before going willy-nilly into modifying it. This way, you'll have an appreciation of what you like just as it is and what things you feel could be improved.

Second, put a little distance between the initial $$ shock and spend some money on a Code Reader, good set of appearance products, Random Buffer, Cover, Tire Air Gauge, Radio keys, asst. Torx bits, Battery Maintainer, Red Clip, Jack and Jack Plate, join PCA, Bentley Manual, etc.

Then research and take a premier driving course to improve your own skills so you can be sure you're deriving everything that the car has to offer as is.

Then, place any excess cash into your portfolio. This will have a much greater impact to your Bragging Rights than any Go Fast part will, especially with the Ladies.

If, after all this, you still feel the need to improve the car, charge forth!

This may not be the sexiest plan, but it is the most prudent, and no way can you make a mistake. Good Luck with the new ride, it sounds sweet!

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
