My SP20

Hi all, just wanted to start a thread with my car. I am a beginner with a blue 2001 SP20 that I bought about a month ago with 170,000 kms. I'm only 17 and hoping to keep this car going for a few years. I joined basically to get inspiration from other owners, I've started a small mod list (not allot under the hood just yet) and just wanted to get opinions and ideas. Thanks, Ill be posting pictures soon and hoping to stay up to date in the coming years.

Progressive Mod List:
-New radio/sound system
-Hella dual horn system (red)
-Spray calipers red or blue
-New Black rims (Still Undecided)
-Blue dashboard back lights
-Lower
-Short Shifter
-Subaru wrx front lip
-Carbon fiber passenger panel
-Possibly Injen CAI
-Protege Grill
-Debadge
-Minimal stickers
-Paint interior radio surrounds and dash blue
-Paint centre of hood black

Thanks guys and again, open to opinions!

Any chance you can go lower than $300?
Tossing up between lowered springs and coil-overs

That's ok, my first pic is stock but bent up after hitting a tree, always good to look back to see for comparison.
