Well, If you have a P5, there are no clear corners. Perhaps you were thinking of bumper lenses:

What you do next has to be determined by how much you have to spend and are you looking more for show or go. Let us know your asperations, and we can help with where to go.

And welcome!

Depends on what you want to spend. If the pockets are deep, I agree with itzkcatz. Go for the turbo, but, if the pockets are shallow, lowering the car makes a huge difference.

I agree with everyone, but my personal opinion would be to add some wheels. They make a huge difference in the looks section.

since you already put the green into an intake....an now air can get into the motor easier....you need to make it so that it can get back out easier too....or the intake isn't doing what it could for your motor....

MY next expence in your case would be a CAT-BACK exhaust system.

Then.....Tint

then......Wheels/tires/lowering

then......better sound setup.

This is slightly off topic but i was wondering if you noticed a difference after the intake was applied.

well i already got my windows tinted cuz my friends owns a tint shop and got that done first and then i got the intake and my next i was thinking would be a racing beat catback unless you have ne other good suggestions and bout the performance of the intake you can feel it a lil bit more on the high end but nothing dramatic if you have any suggestions on a catback exhaust and prices that would be great thanks

personally i'd get springs before wheels. it would look funny if you got new wheels and it looks like a 4x4. just my opinion.
