Maybe some more suspension work and get some headers if you don't have them already. Also how did you pull out the AC vents trim above the audio console. I have a 99 2.5 and I took off those 2 plastic tabs and unscrewed the screws that were underneath, the whole thing was loose but I didn't want to pull too hard for fear of breaking something. Just lemme know the best way to pull it out cause I was gonna paint mine too.
