Talking New Owner! What to do now???

Hi everyone!
I just purchased an 02 C4S Blk/Blk today and need to know what I should get first???
Please share what your first mods were and why you chose to go with it first.
I know I'm going to change those ugly amber side markers first, but don't where to get them??? Can anyone share some input on where I can pick them up at and if they come in different shades? My car is Black, so I'm thinking smoke color, but everyone's input will help.

Glad to join the family!

Then you are allowed to mod the car

I got my side markers for my Black car at Suncoast. They were 13 bucks a piece I think.

Welcome!!!!!!!!

Welcome Aboard

My first mod was the clear side markers, they were put on before I left the dealership. You can get the clear ones at the dealer. I
have a Blk/Blk C2 and the clear ones seem to blend in fine. You can also get door plugs from www.bumperplugs.com to cover your keyholes. I added aluminum trim rings for the gauges from
Bumper Plugs. I plan to have my center console painted Artic Silver, add a carbon fiber shifter and brake handle, B&M short shift kit, Factory Sport Exhaust, and aluminum pedals. These are
some of my plans. I am afraid of becoming a mod addict.

On a serious note, the list just goes on and on...Half the fun is dressing it up and the other, driving it..

What's the difference between the TT chin and the normal C4S chin spoiler?

The C4S chin spoiler has a cutout in the middle. Look here for a pic of my car

My first Mod was getting it lowered with the ROW M030 Eruo springs, about 1 inch in in front and ¾" in rear. You may want the X74 suspension or maybe even the extreme PSS9s.

I didn't do hardly anything to the exterior other than clear sidemarkers, carbon fiber license plate surround, and constant waxing.

The interior I put in the aluminum instrument cluster surround, upper center console, ignition surround, flasher surround, and sport shifter.

Performance wise I use K&N filters and installed the B&M short shift kit. For anything else I may have missed, Check my signature. Oh yea, there are some nice pics too.
