Sounds good, but I'd first go with 1) CAI w/tuner, 2) exhaust, and then 3) wheels in that order... IMO.

Yeah, at first I wanted nothing but "appearance" mods first. But since I got a vert, I had to go with the Roll Bar and Exhaust first. Then I hit up the little appearance mods like shorty antenna, tint, blackout panel, Grille, etc. Then when I got my Intake...well.....I loved it. So now if you look at my sig, those are the parts that are bout to go on and possible the Kooks LT/Xpipe Set up. Sp I drifted away from appearance for now and am hitting up the performance side of things.....you should do the same....you'll love it!!!!!!!!

Why don’t you just have your fan blades widened if you like them? This place www.weldcraftwheels.com/ does a great job.

Yeah... Mods are addicting. My only advice to Yao, or anyone, is: 1) Do your research, and 2) Get exactly what you want. I've already changed my CAI(GMS to JLTII) and exhaust(Flowmaster to FRPP/Stingers) AND I've only had the car since August... It can get rather expensive...

I would love to have a CAI/tune, but am concerned about warranty issues. I know this has been dealt with elsewhere, but what are your experiences with dealerships and your mods. I have the RKSport CA dream hood, and it just begs for a CAI. Suggestions?

What ever you do, you can always undo. I have a cai and tune, but if i ever needed work done at a dealer, Im returning the car back to stock.
