    The quick modifications would be.

    Suspension 1 and 1/2 inches lowerd all round.
    Replace the Shocks with Koni Adjustables, will drive like it's on rails.
    Exhaust - replace the standard pipes with a 2 and 1/2 Twin Cat, Twin Mufflers etc.
    Windows, Tint all the rear dark, front drivers and passengers doors a bit lighter (will keep the cops off you).
    Wheels: Get a set of 17's Internationals.
    Engine: Change the injectors for larger ones, will go through fuel but wil run better.
    Engine: New set of 9mm leads won't go a stray.

    Thats the bare minimums..
    Should sound look better after all that.

    Didn't you sell that thing for $4500?

    Furthermore, didn't you buy it last year?
