Haven't done much myself yet, but have plans for a few things: Acuity shift cable bushings and shifter base bushing; some type of larger non-metal shift knob (possibly the Acuity ESCO once they are available again); Ktuner after a bit (prefer not tuning a brand new car in case I have any problems that need addressed w/in the first year)

I have installed Acuity throttle relocation bracket. Seems a bit expensive for a chunk of aluminum, but it really is worthwhile if you want to heel-toe and are struggling w/ the stock pedal positions.

Just installed some LED headlights and LEDs for the interior map/dome lights. Went expensive on the headlights but cheap for interiors. Absolutely gives the car a more premium look and feel unlike the halogens.

I went with LED headlamps because it matches the DRL's perfectly, Only complaint is the raw brightness of the interior at night when opening the doors.

One of my favorite newer cosmetic mods are the carbon fiber B&C pillar overlays I added. Much better than the stock look.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/SYLVANIA-194-WHITE-SYL-LED-Mini-Bulb-Mini-Bulb-Pack-of-1/52621698

I looked around online, I'm sure you can find them for cheaper but i picked up 194 LEDs from Walmart's auto parts section. Id rather spend $6.75 a piece and get lights made for vehicles than buy cheap online bulbs. You can also use 168's. They are ever so slightly brighter, but have a shorter lifespan. I would recommend the 194's because at night they are BEYOND adequate light. Even during the day they are noticeably brighter. These fit the three interior bulbs and the one in the trunk. Technically they fit the reverse lights as well but they are not bright enough.

I also did the headlights with an H11 bulb. These were pricey but once again, Id rather pay up front and get quality than have to replace when cheap ones wear out. These have active cooling fan built into the heatsink, really quality build. All plug and play. Really easy install. I can get a picture of the headlights as well if you'd like. Picked them up at Advanced Auto Parts for $145 for the pair.

Got these at Advanced Auto Parts as well $20 for the pair, same bulb housing as the interiors, but far brighter for the reverse lights.

Going to try to find some quality yellow LEDs to get that JDM look without tinting the actual glass. These LED's really make the car look premium. The OEM bulbs look trashy comparably.

Cover of what? May be an idiotic question... but I've never noticed one anywhere in my car.
He's saying the logo is part of the aftermarket carbon dash overlay he added.
