Not to make judgments based on one's writing, but are you sure you can afford that?

I'll probably upgrade the audio system and install an alarm system. I'm not going to get ahead of myself on anything else until I actually own the car and see what I want to improve. Since this will be a daily driver, I'm guessing that 400-ish horsepower will be plenty for me, and I won't drop a grand on a catback, so unless there are affordable catback options, I'll probably happily live with the original.
I'd rather put mod money into my IROC than my daily driver.

Ha ha, no bitches in my car 
(well, not the ones with 4 legs 
).
Realistically, probably a set of long-tubes, and "maybe" a cat-back if the factory exhaust doesn't cut it (although the Concept sounds nice?) and then likely a CAI or whatever the aftermarket offers for "improved" air intake 
(ie: lid) ... and a tune 
.
Assuming the car comes with well over 400 HP from the factory, there won't be such an "urgency" to get more power out of it. Heck, it's taken me over 4 years with my '02 to finally get to doing headers and a tune!!

Aftermarket performance tires and lightweight rims, strip down of alot of the interior, and finally roots style blower to sit on top of the engine while being exposed through the carbon fiber hood. fuel injecters will be on the intake manifold if you needed to know,, just a air filter will sit above the blower.
Add a few decals to personalize it and I'm done.
