1998 Boxster Recently Purchased - New Member Intro

Hello everyone! I purchased this car a few months ago and have been enjoying every second of it. It's a black 1998 tiptronic with boxster red interior. I'm currently starting my senior year in Aerospace Engineering. I was lucky enough to find this car in excellent condition after my last vehicle was totalled when I was rear ended in Feb.

Things I found that are already modified on the car:
-Litronic Headlights
-Aftermarket Rims (No idea what brand)
-Reupholstered Seats (has full leather interior)
-Sony Bluetooth Headunit with ipod cable connection and hands free calling
-Depo clear/red Tail lights
-GAAH Convertible Top with heated glass rear window
-Cayman Style Spoiler
-Red painted Calipers with Porsche decals
-New black/silver floor mats with "Porsche" embroidered
-Porsche logo badge on rear instead of "Boxster" and new badge on front
-Silver mesh grills over intakes
-K&N air filter
-Clear side markers
^all that saved me a lot of money

What I've done:
-Ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports to replace the worn front Falken tires. (235/40ZR18) has a new set of Pilot Sport A/S + on back (275/35/18)
-Cleaned Throttle Body/MAF sensor/Radiators and dirty engine bay
-Fresh mobile 1 synthetic oil and filter and a bottle of techron fuel system cleaner
-Cleaning almost everyday

Future Plans:
-Exhaust (dreaming about fabspeed race exhaust)
-RoW M030 or Coil over suspension (undecided)
-Fixing a rear right rattle over bumps while slow coasting (seems like a control arm from what I've read and gets progressively worse while car gets hot)
-smoked LED 3rd brake light and white LED interior lights
-need a new set of visor mirror flaps (1 missing, 1 broken)
-dyno tuning at Titan Motorsports
-underdrive pulley (undecided on which to buy)

Here are some pictures:
