Default i have a disorder..... MY13 WRX Mods

So i feel the need to share this with everybody, i feel as though i have a disorder as im compelled to change something on my car every week...... So my question is I've done the following to my car, is there any more kool/useful and or tricks you think are a good idea to apply?..... And before i get completely bashed I've searched this forum like a pedo in a playground.... So ive learnt plenty.... This was purely a question from peoples personal experience's with 08+ wrx's.... Even cheap worthwhile mods that are recommended that i may have missed, or will benefit down the line (will be modifying & tuning at later date).... Currently i just want to enhance/personalise, drive & keep warranty.

Completed:
- Tuna's $10 mod for the Stock BPV
- Swiss cheese my air intake (properly with 2 x 45 degree pipes coming out of the holes i cut into the box, one in the wheel arch, one under the intake to prevent water intrusion)
- Replaced IC to TB intercooler hose (AVO) (stock was screaming)
- Fitted DRL strips to stock lights (each to there own)
- Replaced corrugated intake hose with an aftermarket Post MAF 3ply Silicone Hose.
- Replaced front & Rear door speakers with Autotek Mean Machine 100RMS 6.5" Splits.
- Fit an Alpine Type-S 12" Subwoofer in boot
- Replaced head unit with DIG OPTIONS fully options head unit with GPS, Reverse Camera, IPOD, USB, WIFI, STEERING CONTROLS etc..
- Fitted JDM racing lug nuts (red) (look fresh on black wheels)
- Booked in: Carbon fibre vinyl for bonnet, roof and bonnet scoop
- carbon fibre wrapped rear strip (above number plate)
- Replaced all internal bulbs for LED's

Any genuine suggestions?

Its makes a lot of difference, really gets rid of a lot of slop!

This is new to me, i didn't realise you needed a track for that..... Haha I'm joking; but i would love to track my car at some point, i need a feel for all wheel drive again, last car was a 480rwhp xr6 turbo, so the new subie feels allot different.... The xr6 i had was only good for straight lines haha...... I done a 24 lap rally drive a while ago in a sti & an evo from adrenalin and loved it, was so much more fun than just stomping ur foot in the XR and wheel spinning......

Throw swaybars in with heavy duty mounting kits.
Lowered springs and sticky tyres. Found favourite road. Profit.
