Wow there are maybe 101 ways you can go with this and so many opinions. I have three suggestions. 1. AEM V2 Intake for more power/torque 2. Countersunk shift knob for even slicker shifting and 3. A cross brace, I went with the whiteline brace from Muz. All very reasonably priced mods that are super easy to fix. Well ok the V2 is not super easy but it's straightforward enough.

first thing you have to decide is whether you want show or go...
if you track the car, you will want to do diff mods than if you want to show it.

exhaust is one mod that is both show and go- lighter weight and less back pressure with most after market exhausts, and most have some bling factor too.

mine is modestly modded more for show (the rotors are not good for track use and the wheels too heavy), but i like the look:

well, how much money do you have or willing to spend on modding this car? If the sky is the limit then spend some time in driving school and then get a supercharger, exhaust, wheels, stereo system, lips, brakes, etc..There are so many things that you can do to this car. It's just that not everyone has the financial resource to accomplish these goals.
