I have been thinking about this question since I placed my order last week and I want to get your ideas on what you are going to do.

I will definitely be getting racing stripes and am thinking about upgrading the stick to a Steeda Tri-Ax. I am not a mechanic so my modifications will be minimal.

I'll be upgrading the audio. I am going to get a kenwood excelon 7015 head unit and I am still debating on what sort of speakers. But I know I will have a sub, components and 6x9 rears. Not sure the speakers sizes in the front yet nor how many amps and what wattage either.

Short term mods will be exhaust and wheels.

Later on I'd like to bolt a Whipple onto it.

Whenever I get mine, I'm going to get longtubes, catback, air intake, and cams all at once. Then, I'll get a shifter, lowering springs, subframe connectors, and 18" wheels.

Flowmasters, then SCT tuning. The tuning will be key with these new cars.

very patiently waiting for AEM to release their Brute Force air intake for the 05 GT. I think that will be my first mod.
