Default Whats a good first Mod to the car?

I was thinking wheels, intake, exhaust, or somthing of that nature. I dont want to void my warranty so it has to be easy on easy off. I kinda like those eye-lid things, but I dont want to make my car look like a rice rocket. Give me some suggestions if you have any!

Quite a few people start with the sound. Lucid rear speakers make a big difference.

Right now money is not the issue. I am trying to be reasonable. I dont really care about a radiator cap, that wont do anything for me, when you say "lucid speakers" do you have anything specific in mind? and do you know if I will have to cut up the car to get them in? Do you have a pic of OEM badges?

Drive the car for a few months, get to know it. Read this board, learn about the car and what can be done.

After that you can start your mods.

If I can get the dealer to throw in the front lip my first mod will be lowering and powder coating the factory wheels. Then basic bolt ons I/H/E and then some apperence mods. A little Ricks, Muz and OEm Honda parts will do the trick. Man I can't wait to get my S. Just thinking about puts a smile on my face.
