Congrats!
Congrats on your new mobile, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Thanks for "representin" in Kabul, that's something you can be proud of!
Your best first mod would be a catback with some "nicer-than-stock" tips, a Borla gives a nice note and is all stainless, but Racing Beat has a good system too.

Congrats! It all depends on what area of the car you want to address first. I recommend do a search on the site to see what better suits your taste, but if you haven't tinted your windows and put clear corners yet do it ASAP.

congrats on the car! hope you find it to be as great of a car as the rest of us!
I personally wouldn't mod it too much, as it's (drivetrain-wise) not the greatest car to go to town on. If you really wanna get creative maybe a MS bumper and skirts and maybe a few othere touches here and there. Just be careful with those external mods...riceology may be just around the corner with a japanese made car.

I reckon the first thing you should do with it is drive it. Become one with it.
Then decide to modify it, if you feel it is necessary.
oh yeah, and get a Hymee exhaust ...

welcome back, and what you should do to your car is drive the hell out of it! c(= seriously just drive it and fall in love with the car more and more each time you drive. and well it seems like you got the basics done to it, but just to say IMHO the mazda body kit's are ugly -.-;; i personally like the RE-amemiya kits but they're hella expensive so iono. anywayz best of luck (get a turbo if you can they're always a popular thing to do)

I'd do wheels and suspension, but I'm crazy and love cars that handle like butter. Power can come eventually, but if it starts interfering with my awesome handling, it's gone.

Put a good coat of wax on her,
Read the little things thread and the manual to figure out all the goodies that come with it.
Consider a rock screen, get good comprehensive insurance
Make sure you have some cold weather tires if you are in snow country
