A ton I am sure.

EDIT: Before anything you must go lower!

1. New wheels. Something legit. Split rims maybe. Around 19x9.5in

2. Rear deck lid (Cant tell if you have one. Post more pics.)

3. Window visors/rear window visor

4. Id go back to the polished chrome or a color matched grill.

5. Front and side splitters

Then moving on to things I cant see or tell if you have modded...

6. upgrade to LED/HID lighting

7. Suspension mods (sway bars, upgraded bushings, new LCAs, bracing, etc etc)

8. Engine mods (intake, TB, IM, etc etc. Exhaust, mid pipe, header, etc etc.)

9. Interior mods (sound system, seat covers, luxury items, etc etc.)

10. TUNE IT!

I'll stop there. That should all tie you over for a couple years and a few grand. Once you're done with all that contact a race group and look into forced induction.

I've had my 4G GLM for only about 7 months now and so far I've done pretty much what you got, but I've installed the Tein SA along with the edfc and for good looks a roof spoiler. The WDP is always clean on the 4G.
You can search around and find a whole bunch of ideas from other members, but for me I'd go with the small basics first like leds for the exterior & interior. Then step it up with some coilovers if you decide to have it lowered. Can't really tell if your sitting on coilovers or not. I'm sure you'll need camber kit afterwards, but there's dozens of things you can do to this beast. Good luck and enjoy!

Want to keep it simple and clean? Rear window spoiler, 20" wheels and coilovers.

If you want more upgrade lighting, j pipe, intake and exhaust. I would also recommend rolled fenders and camber kit depending on your wheel set up.

Tune is a must if you want the most out of the car and your mods.

Enjoy modding!

5. Front and side splitters

I was wondering what you mean by front and side splitters? I've never heard of us and wanted to see what they were for our cars. If you could also provide a link to the best option of these for our car (brand,website)

Thanks!

Front and side splitters are the orange bits on the side of the bumper and the black bit at the bottom. It's to provide more downforce at speed to keep the front wheels planted rather than lifting.

I think, particularly when talking about cars like ours, most people that refer to front and side splitters are referring to parts underneath the front bumper and sideskirts. They will provide more aggressive looks much moreso than adding any type of usable downforce on a street car. The wings on the side of the front bumper are something that should probably never grace the front of a street car unless is an econobox race like an Evo or STi.

Also, they could cause some serious damage to the pedestrians' legs if that car hits someone.

So, street legal ? Very likely not.
