Newbie Planning

Not exactly what I had in mind...

I am doing some reading on the forum about pulleys. Seems like a pretty easy mod and decent return for the money. Any reading you think would be good to learn about this would be much appreciated. I'm really green and will read anything you throw at me!

I'm looking to spend about $1K the rest of this year and maybe double that next year. It's still a new car, so I'm not running to do anything this instant.

This seems like great advice and I am going to look into it. You mean to tell me a decade+ of playing Gran Turismo hasn't prepared me for spirited back road driving??

@ NeedforZ:

Can you recommend some shops around DFW? I live in an apartment and can't do any work myself (yet...), so I need some place reliable for parts and service.

Thanks so much guys! Please keep the advice coming!

List (roughly in order):
1. Paint shield: Venture Shield was recommended to me in a PM. Any others?
2. Headlights: Waiting to hear back from 180 Custom.
3. Pulleys: Doing some research on them. Would appreciate any and all input.
4. Exhaust work: Favorite setup around here?
5. Intake work: Still leaning toward the Stillen Gen3 Ultra Long Tube.
