Modding preparation questions...

You can upgrade to sports package parts but it will likely cost you more than the factory add-on cost. Wheel replacement (oem Ray's 19") cost about $1000-$1200 a piece alone if you were to buy from the dealer. Buying that through a member will be cheaper. Or just go aftermarket.

Here's what you need for the sport pkg: Akebono brakes, chin spoiler ($170 usd), rear spoiler, different suspension (go aftermarket springs/struts or coilover). Here's what you can't get: synchro rev match.

As far as CAI, you could as it'll improve the breathing. You could try to sell it later when you don't need it anymore. You could also upgrade other parts of the exhaust sytem instead to prep for forced induction (cbe, hfc, headers) but do your research to make sure these parts will be compatible with a sc or tt.
