Not really a problem or fix but...

I have had my car for a while now... I want to start doing more to it... Both performance and appearance. It is just a premium it has a cold air intake and I'm pretty sure that's it for performance. For appearance it has a dark tint, black wheels (that I need to touch up... A little), it is de-badged all but the front and back "A"s. I am pretty sure it has an Acura color, it is a metallic that goes between black and blue... In the bright sun it's dark blue with black speckles and then all other times it's black. It looks half decent I am going to take a clay bar to it and then polish and wax it many times which should help it a lot (it looks like the previous owner had never cleaned it up and I just recently got it). I am open to any suggestions of what you think would make it look better and or run better (although it runs pretty good ). Pictures of the car to come soon now that it's starting to get nicer and I get to clean the car up. Thanks for any opinions and suggestions.

Intake and exhaust are definitely a step in the right direction. Anything to help the engine breathe. For additional performance, you can try thermal gaskets, TB spacer, lightweight pulleys, port and polish intake. After that, you're looking at either building the motor or SC. Appearance-wise, a good stance is critical. Get rid of the 4x4 status and put some lowering springs on with a lip kit

Thanks it has a little bit of a stance. I am pretty sure it has some aftermarket body kit on it because it looks a whole lot different than a stock one. Somebody really loved it at one time (my uncles picked it up on impound because they own towing companies and the guy never came and got it so I bought it from their auction). I took some pictures after I washed it yesterday only to realize that the website won't let me upload from iPads.... So I have to get on the laptop to get some pics of the car on here. I was thinking about getting a wrecked cl-s at an auction (my uncles have their dealer license so they can get access to all of the auctions) and taking the headlights out because mine are all fogged and cracked on the inside.... And then eventually rebuilding the engine and replacing everything with better parts etc and building the engine up and putting it into my car and so I can have spare parts whenever I need them because I'm sure I will!
