The first thing to improve your car's performance is to start autocrossing or take a performance driving school and start tracking.

If you need to improve the style...get a new hair cut and some cool sunglasses.

personally, i would get somethings to help with heatsoak such as a hondata gasket or a spoon snorkel. Besides that, learn the car in stock form first. that way you mod in a way that doesn't actually decrease the performance of the car

Unless you start going all out, there isn't much you can do bolt-on wise to increase power too much when you are NA. You can go for a single exhaust, but they are pretty loud and not for everyone. I would just save for forced induction if you really want a performance upgrade, or go for gears for now. As far as style goes, I guess that depends if you have an AP1 or an AP2. For an AP1 I would clear the headlights before anything else, but on both models I would add a front lip if you don't already have one. BTW, next september is like a year away, a little early to start modding it don't you think?

i agree with whats been stated above. dont waste your money on an aftermarket intake, i've been through 6, and OEM performs the best overall. exhuast & tuning have shown to be the areas that really make power on NA setups. singles always make more than duals, 70mm is the optimal for peak hp in a NA setup too.

In my opinion... no. because its nice to have the money when you need it. i cant get forced induction. my parents wont let me :[ how does a new front bumper look with stock skirts and rear bumper (like mugen or cwest)?
