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.

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.
