i upgraded the headlights and reverse lights to insanely bright LEDs. the stock halogens were really bad. ive used some sound deadening anti vibration mats to help tone down panel rattling and reduce noise and i added some insulation in the floors. i still need to add insulation in the doors and also the roof, but those will take more work and apparently its a pain to open up the whole headliner. i have premium window tints and weather tech floor matts. so i've done plenty of upgrading. the seats are still pretty bare bones and the speakers for music are just ehh

they have more premium trims with leather interiors and lane assist and all that, but that doesnt really fix the handling and road noise and aluminum car panels they used to save weight

main upgrades im doing clearly are aero mods right now with the current gas prices, but i want them to look OEM, not some coroplast mods. so far the wheel skirts look amazing, i just need to polish the paint/clear coat to add a little shine. even got abs plastic trimmed and sanded with weatherstripping to go where the side passenger mirror was so it looks stock
