Yeah, we've got a new mod - his name's Gene 
j/k
I like how your car looks with the 172s and no m-tech - classy, understated.
I think you meant mods to make the car drive faster/handle better - as opposed to the cosmetic ones. With that in mind, an ECU tune is definitely in order. Also consider an RPI exhaust (even though it adds little hp). There are so many options out there. But tell us more what you'd like to have on the car first
PS I'd definitely start with taking out all the chrome - the kidney grills, the shadowline, exhaust tips, badge. Go matte black or black chrome (my personal current favorite). There are different ways to get these done - search around the forum and you're sure to find plenty of info and DIY's on all of the above and more.
