Those were probably a good deal.
I think the v5/6 wing is a bit big. I used to like it so I got it, but now I wish I could go back to my stock wing.
As to stay on topic... you can start with the basic plug 'n' play mods:
- Better tires (you have BBS 17" rims?)
- 18mm rear sway bar
- Fiamm/Hella horns (stock is sounds weak)
- Swap to synthetic fluids (Motul, Mobil1, etc)
- Fumoto oil change valve
- K&N panel air filter
- Short shifter

thx ken~ i really like that wing, but i don't know if it's gonna match with my car. you don't like your wing? are you gonna sell it? 
j/k
i wish i had BBS rims. i need a whole new set of rims and tires, but too hard to choose. and not enuf $$. i've already swapped to motul synthetic fluids, it's running nicely. what exactly are Fumoto oil change valve and K&N panel air filter?
which brand of sway bar do you suggest? i don't like honking ppl, so i don't really need it......

I would swap you if you had a RBP colored trunk. I drilled through my trunk for extra mounting holes, that's why I can't really go back to stock unless I fill those holes. 
The wheels you have *look* like BBS's, so what are they then??? Dodge Neon take-offs???
Fumotovalve - oil change valve to easily drain your oil, instead of the drain plug you always have to remove.
K&N panel air filter - just replaces your stock air box filter for more air flow into the engine. It's re-usable too.
Sway bar - A cheap Subaru 18mm. swaybar will do, or you can get a Whiteline adjustable one which has different settings.
Hella air horn kit - I only recommend it if you're doing highway runs and have to battle semi-trailer trucks.

If you would like to buy things for mynxi and install them for her, please sign up here. *LOL*
All kidding aside, PDM racing, locally has Subaru stuff and Don the owner is cool. A lot of standard oem-like stuff such as panel filters you can get at Lordco, Canadian Tire. They have K&N, Hella, etc. part brands. Otherwise there's the rest of the import shops around town that people have their own preference for. Just ask.
