Since you asked: If you plan on bringing it to the track, I would change the Lower Control Arms to the GT3 or the GT3 Cup versions so you can get more negative camber, put in GT3 sways and change the squishy engine mounts to Semi-solid Wevos. Get anther set of wheels and some R-comps and then have at it. These are modest changes that really make a big difference on the track and don't really diminish the DD experience.

Congrats !
Enjoy the car for now..
save for a nice set of light-weight wheels later.
not only will it look great, ur car will perform better.

the consensus is that 1 lb unsprung weight loss is equivalent to 10 lbs of vehicle weight..
so let's say i've lost 35lbs (conservative figure, since i actually lost 39.4 lbs).. that's same as losing 350 lbs of vehicle weight (sprung weight) !!
that translates to 0.3500 faster 1/4 mile..
and then there is the MOI (moment of inertia).. but that's another story.

Thanks for all the responses. I should have been clearer in my original post...
I'm not looking to do anything major, just little visual upgrades like the clear side markers and the color centre caps...
