Some new fluids for peace of mind, and any other maintenance items if it's around that time. If you're nearing 105k, probably the water pump and timing belt service. Best to maintain the car first so it can last with all the mods you plan on doing later.

Maintainence if it hasn't been done. Mods maybe start small, led interior + License plate replacement are easy and extremely cheap. Tint is always good too.

You should probably get gas first so you can drive it home!

Maintenance is key. After that, tint the windows and consider adding the A-Spec kit. Don't do wheels until you lower the car, if you decide to do so.

Definitely start off with maintenance, then go with our XLR8 V2 J-Pipe. More power, more sound, easy install, and made in the U.S.! Ultimately, it depends on what you want to do with the car. Are you looking for better handling? More sound? More power?

Definitely send me a PM if you have any questions!
