Stock all the way. 
Oooops, I did install the Fumoto oil valve, and I also got the Kodokan seat locks, does this mean I need to edit my siggy?
There are a few things I would like to eventually do, but nothing that would majorly change the character of the car. Things like a Voodoo shift knob, Rick's padded headrest inserts and windscreen, might even go with his carpets if/when the OEM ones wear out. The sound system is just fine, I love the scream of the engine and the gear whine of the transmission/rearend (don't use the radio/CD player much
)
I'd love to get a set of 17" rims, even if they were the '04 OEM ones, but not with rubber-band tires. I just think a slightly larger wheel/tire combo looks better as long as its not extreme and doesn't change the overall circumference. That said, I am more than happy with what I have, and if it never happens I won't be disappointed (well, at least not too much
).
As far as suspension/drivetrain/engine mods, for me the stock car is just fine. I plan on keeping this car for a loooong time though, so that opinion may change in the future.

Though the car is near perfect stock, I have made a few mods for performance as I enjoy Autocrossing the car. My mods include the Spugen Dual/dual exhaust and the AEM V2 Cold air intake.
As for the future, I would like to add new Rims, I prefer the Volks Challenge, new rear diff to a 457 for quicker off the line reaction for autocross, saner front sway bar and for my own sanity, a new stereo, the factory one is sub-par.
I plan on keeping the stock rim and using them for autocross with Hoosier tires.
As for just driving daily, (or in my case 2 or 3 times a month) Stock is just fine!
