They do catch a lot of the road tar and rocks that are kicked up when you are driving on paved roads. I noticed that I had tar splatter on my car before I installed my flaps. They also cut down on the water cloud that you create when the road is wet which increases the visibility for the cars behind you and they can actually see when you hit the brakes and stop as opposed to just being in a wash of water that was kicked up in front of them.

I think he is tying to tell you to go out and drive the car. If you go out to a AutoX or Track Day and really drive the car you will start to notice how different modifications modify the feel of the car and from there you can begin to modify the set-up to better suit the way you drive and make it more tailored to you.

Can't go wrong with a few gauges..especially if there mods to the engine..boost, oil pressure are good to have for bare min..prosport makes good inexpensive gauges..I ordered some rally armor flaps for $15 the other day..picked up a v-limited lip today too for $80..buy a few low priced items to start getting a different look than stock..sounds like your good performance wise..upgrading the visual aspect of the car might be what you need in your quest for something new and different..
