If nothing else, spend the 60 bucks and get a K+N panel filter OEM replacement. It'll pay for itself in 6 months between the aggregated cost of paper filters and the gas mileage increase. It's the first "mod" I did to our car and lasted me almost a year (before I got the itch to do more).
I'll launch into my long-winded "fuel economy of our 2004 vacation to Nova Scotia" story some other time.
Silverstar headlight bulb replacements are nice, the vastly improved lightbeam just makes driving unfamiliar roads so much easier. Beware using coloured bulbs within a coloured housing, it filters the output and makes the light appeared "washed out".
Others have done tasteful interior painting as a mod... when done right it looks pretty pimp :)
I'd suggest a rubber upgrade for the wheels you have currently. The roads on the way to the coast reward a skilled driver with good rubber... but have a keen eye for those potholes! Just ask Oscar :rolleyes:
The MBRP cat-back exhaust is also a viable option if you want a complete and proper exhaust mod done. Their quality is top-notch and their support staff are always available via their 1-800 number. What's not to love? Oh, the kit retails for under $300 CDN after taxes, but before shipping. That's a great price for a fully-stainless steel kit.
Stereo upgrades are nice, but they're addicting and make the cash flow faster than Maalox at a Jalapeno pepper festival. You'll blow $1000+ on a good headunit and door speaks / components, and still need to spend more on a good sub / amp combo to balance it out.
Just my 2 cents, adjusted for inflation.
