Ummm, no HID's?

If we can't say anything good (expensive), what is the point?

Rebuild the entire body in aluminum or stainless steel.

Interior with more black accents. Other then that, there's nothing I would change that isn't any different from the work I am doing to my car right now...

A factory NA three rotor would be nice though.

I'd want keyless entry for the drivers side door. The passenger side handle never breaks so save some dough and just do the drivers side.

Better factory alarm w/ remote.
Open end ECU that is easy to tune, with the ability to run a fuel map as well.
A more modern engine design, such as the renisis for the NA and a turbo version as well. (3 rotors are ok )
Better platic in the interior.
