I think the K&N Gen2 FIPK for $269 shipped is a good mod. Just recently installed mine, and have fallen in love with my car all over again.

luckily my friend's dad owns a big transmission company. tons of lifts. my friend installed his rear differential himself. i would probably just work on it with him and get quoted alot cheaper if i decided to go gears.

Shave your head... weight reduction, and less drag when the tops down. I'll let you borrow my clippers, so it's free. I do this mod about once a week, and going by the butt dyno, it really helps.
