Have you looked into a new driver badge and/or a squash air freshener? Those would be MY top priority . Nah, j/k. I'd say wheels and a drop. Just enjoy having a nice looking car.

I suggest you go to the brain store and buy your own opinion. Otherwise, you'll never be happy with the car.

go to extremedimensions.com and buy the body they offer there...then get 18"...NO 19" chrome rims...ride around with the kit unpainted for a while and simply tell people its "under construction"

best of luck...

I got a non Si for gas mainly. I wanna add a little bit of hp to it but not killing the gas mileage, hence the reason I have an extra 5k to spend

It's not about the model of the car, it's the driver. It all depends on how you drive (to a certain extent) that'll effect your mpg.

As everyone suggested, get the upgrade and go with the SI.
