Time for get some MODS

After breaking in my '04 c4s coupe with 4k miles, i'm ready to get some key upgrades.. This is what i'm thinking.. any suggestions would be appreciated !!

1) HRE 541's - likely 19s with pilot sports - u think polished finished is too-over-the top? (car is black)
2) Valentine radar - in rear-view mirror - key add from others feedback - do i need a front and rear diffuser?
3) ShortShiftKit - thinking OEM or B&M
4) New exhaust tips - any good websites to point me to?
5) Clear side markers

This is only STAGE 1 of the "mod" process.. engine upgrades are last on my list given the issues with warranty i keep reading about.

4K miles under 4k RPM? thats a big breakin!

most people think that the manual stipulated 2k miles under 4200RPM is overkill anyway

must have mods for a C4S, short shifter, clear side markers, bumperplugs from the website of the same name,

and an engine mod you CAN do is the sport exhaust, SUCH a big improvment on the C4S, gives the car the charisma of some old air cooled porsches.

if you do OEM parts, you won't have to worry about warannty/

pse

totally agree that PSE is essential - got it with the car.. i also have the sport exhaust tips, but am looking for a more "aggressive" set of tips to mod the rear-end. any suggestions? techarts look nice, but too similar to the ones i have right now. - perhaps going to a dual pipe look on the c4s? anyone have some intelligence on this?

SSK is a great mod. The clear markers are easy. Wheels are also great and will set your car apart but at a cost($). I like the sport tips you have. How about PSS9s instead of the exhaust for now. I think the car sounds sweet above 3200 RPM.
