Honestly, I just purchased a 99 6 months ago and after having several other cars that have gotten the modding treatment, I've come to the conclusion that that money is best spent on the consistent repairs/maintenance. This car is expensive to hold on to, and the engineers did do everything right. One thing that makes a HUGE difference, and you need to upgrade at some point: tires. Buy some sticky ones. Easily justified, especially if you're in California and don't need all-season tires.
