A couple good first mods would be:
1.Air intake
2. Exhaust
3. Performance Hood Seal(said to give up to 15HPj/p)
4. switch the old headlamps to the Silverstars.
5. Lloyd's Floormats
6. www.vetteessentials.com

The list could go on. Those are (what i am assuming) are some good first mods. There are some other ones, But nothing is cheap.

WELCOME!
Doug

Congratulations, and welcome to the CF family! Great first mods? Well, you would still need a shopping list as long as a Mini Cooper, at least, with this crowd of enthusiasts. However, an air intake filter system, and, high performance over-axle exhaust, is always a good, and, affordable place to start. Post us some pics to drool over when you can. Best Wishes to you.

Welcome from another relative "noob". I'm in the same boat you are... sort of. My first mod was an exhaust plate that the PO never got around to installing. Next on deck was a Window Valet, but I've got a vert so it makes a lot of sense. Lloyd's mats are next. I think. Maybe another cup holder... Uh... um....
