I purchased the car in May 2013. It was sold as used with less than 700 miles on it. As you can see the honeymoon is still at full speed ahead

Performance + Economy = : ) owner

I am open to any suggestions that will improve any of the above without sacrificing any of the above.

I am leery of "performance" chips. Do they really work and will it cause the "Engine Check" light to turn on, don't need that. I live in California.

Seat covers
Leather wrap the steering wheel

Not much to say as I have had her only a week. I am not looking to do anything that will have a negative impact on performance, handling or economy.

Tinted windows

I considered installing a Pioneer or Kenwood DVD - Touch screen w/blue tooth until I discovered that the base unit is made by Alpine. I am not 100% certain of that (I read it on the Internet) but the unit sounds great with the addition of my aftermarket mono amp and 10" sub. Galaxy SIII plugs into the aux input (Can't get SIII to recognize USB input) and I can still listen to Pandora and take calls hands free.

I will agree that lowering a car looks "cool" but I don't believe it improves the comfort level of the ride. A lower center of gravity may improve handling in the twisties on a flat-track but is hell on a daily driver that must navigate a city-scape riddled with dips, bumps and potholes. I'll pass.

I am currently running on steelies and hubcaps but considering a few options...

Buy all new $$$$$$
Paint my hubcaps gun-metal or matte black $/10
Buy a nice set of stock alloys off C/L $$$
