If I were you I wouldn’t go with the Hurst ones I have, they overlay the window trim so because of this the tape wasn’t touching in a lot of places so I had to stack tape in some areas

I meant the steeda braces though do you think id feel the difference after I install those with just street driving?

Yep. Just taking the 90-deg corner from my street to the main sub-division one at even moderate speed produced wallowing. That's when I decided to do it. It's minor now. And those are the only mods that won't affect your ride (or need an alignment). Anything more than that will. The car is a good compromise between sport and comfort now.

Here's a pic of the wheel caps, they are very easy to replace, literally 10 secs a wheel.

Did you mean 10 seconds from the moment you walk out of the garage, or 10 seconds after you remove a wheel? BIG difference. I tried removing them with a large suction cup, and it's basically impossible due to the pony. And no way you can remove them with a screwdriver without damage IMO... but if you found a way, please tell us, since I'd like to check the axle nuts. So you probably meant 10 seconds after removing the wheel, which is certainly NOT a 10-sec job. Just saying .

Great, thanks for the advice

They look awesome, but any ones you would recommend that won’t interfere with the trim?

I put blue painters tape on the tip of a small flat head and popped all 4 of my plastic ones out. None are scratched.

You can tell in the photos, most on American muscle are good

Can you post some sound clips of the h pipe?

I don't have any decent ones yet but another member here made this video and it displays it well:

Correct, I didn't take the wheels off.
I used one of those generic blue masks (that we're all wearing now, they're very soft), and wrapped it around a thin screw driver and just slid it in between the cap and wheel and just popped it off. It was easier than I though.
Literally 3 secs to pop off and 5 secs to grab a center cap and push on.
Try it, you'll like it
No scratches on my wheels, and I was worried about that.

Here's where my Sprint Booster is. Can see it through the steering wheel and easy to poke with your left hand to change throttle response. Also have it on many previous cars.

Your mod list is similar to mine! I really need that H- pipe!

Good to hear; thanks. I have a jeweler's screwdriver set somewhere in the garage, so will look for it. Not sure if I'll try that, since I want to remove the wheels anyway to clean and put the Turtle Wax ceramic spray coating I have, to see if it helps with the dust not getting stuck.
