How much you wanna spend???

Most people suggest to drive the car for a few months stock before upgrading. I agree with this theory.

welcome to the board and soon the car!
i also agree that you should drive it for awhile before modding...
i did lots of minor interior stuff the first year (3 piece carpets, console cover, knob, muz mat, rear speakers, muz behind the seat stuff holders, visor covers, trunk liner, trunk lid liner, etc.)- then did ricks badges. after awhile i painted the calipers, put on the spugen exhaust, spugen drilled and slotted rotors, and smoked corners and sides.

for looks do the above.
For performance, After doing a reasonable amount of mod, I would advise u to go with a ring and pinion swap. Besides a FI setup, I think this is next to best.....

I'm not familiar with blitz induction for the S, but common ones most of us use are:

Comptech
AEM
Inject
4IG
etc.

Just thought I would throw that out there.

Welcome to the board and our little community.

Why not keep it stock for a while. Many of us have found it quite satifying as it comes. If you have to you can paint the calipers to prevent rust or add rear speakers to help "fill" the cabin with sound, but it is really a great little car right out of the box.

I'd recommend waiting at least 2 weeks before you get an exhaust. That way you'll appreciate the sound more. Stock hides the music of the engine too much.
