try looking into the cobb acessport. It is nice because it is untraceable. when its time for service just switch back to stock.

I'd go with the Cobb or a good set of guages. They won't void your warranty and it's a good thing to start with. Learn your car while it's stock.

In a non performance sense, get a clear bra for your front end. The bra will protect the paint from road stuff. You might also consider kartboy shifter bushings (both front and rear for a firmer shifter feel) and whiteline steering rack bushings. If you plan on doing your own oil changes I'd also pick up a fumoto valve. While none of these parts will yield 20 extra hp, they will make a difference, not to meantion the fact that I believe are warrenty friendly.
