New Owner From CA Checking In

[BiigMe]

Whats good everyone? I just signed the deal on a 2016 FiST in Magnetic with Black rims. I live in Orange County and plan on exploiting a lot of canyon roads, but I have to wait until Friday to pick up my car. I do plan on modding it over the course of my ownership, this is my plan, nearly in the order I want to do it.

Performance:
No-Pistons Pedal Spacer
Cobb RMM
Accessport from Mountune, so I get the custom tune
Brake lines, maybe pads
CAI
Intercooler
Maybe some Lighter Rims before the CAI and Intake
Possibly a single tip cat back exhaust at some point with a downpipe

Looks:
Yellow Fog Lights
Mud Flaps
Front Splitter
Rally Lights
Possibly a spoiler extension

If you have any suggestions on what I should do let me know!

Welcom aboard!
I say you have some good mods there

Welcome!

Suggestion: Short Shifter makes a great, simple, cheap 1st mod that you can enjoy constantly. Many great options to choose from (Mountune, Boomba, FSWerks, just to name a few)

I was thinking of the Mountune one because, well I have no reason why, but how hard is it to install? I'd consider myself competent enough to follow instructions, I just don't want to fuck something up and have my warranty voided too

Difficulty? Basically as easy as changing your oil or rotating your tires. It sounds way harder and scarier than it actually is.

Boomba has an awesome how-to on YouTube

I have FSWerks (because simplicity, cost and lighter weight). Took me 1 hour the first time because the space is a little tight and I was using manual allen wrench which took forever. Now I have an Allen socket and 9" extension and it takes <15 mins. (went back in to apply lock-tite to ALL the bolts)

Congrats! I like your mod plan. I am also planning on some more rally inspired stuff and look forward to seeing what wheels you go with. I have a molten orange with the OEM black rims and am thinking maybe some bronze Method wheels, maybe 16x8 and Rally Armor flaps. Will be a few months before I pull the trigger on those though.

I'm sure I'll wait a bit to do anything crazy, but bronze rims sound really cool, I was originally going with a silver black and hint of red theme. But I really don't know what I'll do

Still breaking it in so I'm babying the car, but here's a picture from its first drive on a canyon road! It was Santiago Canyon north of Irvine.
