I bought the car 1 year ago on 6/10/16, Car came with 35% tint, Xpel clear bra, Weathertech front mats and an trunk net from the dealership. I have done the following so far:

Performance:
Lund 93 Octane Tune
JLT cold air intake and oil separator
Magnaflow street cat-back exhaust
Reische 170 degree thermostat
Removed sound tube

Suspension:
Steeda progressive sport springs
Steeda fixed pro-action struts and shocks
Steeda ultralite jacking rails
BMR CB005 cradle lockout kit
Coyote 25 mm wheel spacers
Powerstop Z23 evolution front brake pads (Ceramic)

Drivetrain:
MGW compact race shifter
Steeda clutch pedal spring
BG syncro shift II synthetic tranny oil

Cosmetic:
Boss 302 blue coil covers
Redline tuning hood struts
3M gloss black vinyl wrap on roof/ and hood vents
UPR gloss black 4 piece emblem set
Gorilla nuts black factory style lug nuts

I figure the car is making around 415/385 at the wheels and rides and handles real nice right now. Not looking to change the looks much more than it is now, but may be looking at added improvements to power, handling or sound system. What would you do next?

Get headers, E85 tune if available and go to the drag strip!

Black stripes would be the only suggestion I have, you pretty much have a damn fine setup already. Maybe some strut tower covers to just clean up the engine bay a little.

And start getting more overtime where you work if you haven't already. These boys are eager to help you spend your money, but all good suggestions depending on which way you wanna go. :D:D:D

Drive and enjoy it.

However since you're such the tinkerer, you could always try to find someone willing to pay half what you paid for those extras and just sell it and find something else to play with.

I've spent a decent amount of money in my 5 months of ownership but it never ends.

I spent 13k on just mods on an old Honda bike once and there was still money to throw at it. Ended up selling the bike for 5k, all I could get.

Seriously just get some new rims and tires and ride it for a while especially if you're still riding on stock tires, they suck...

Just different... You've probably got other things that need money thrown at.
