my new P5
I went to Browns Mazda in Alexandria VA yesterday and drove home in a new 2003 P5 in Vivid Yellow. It was a demo so it had about 4800 miles on it already. $15.8k out the door. Has every option available except for the roof rack. I am soooooooooooo happy with this car 
now, what should be my first mod??!!
*MUAHAHA*

As far as your question goes, what kinds of mods are you looking for? Exterior, interior, performance, handling, etc?

I love the exterior and handling of the car as is. I did see some CF lights that I liked on ebay as well as on some other sites..would like to get those sometime only if I decided to get Gunmetal 17x7.5 wheels. Suspension wise, I am not to worried about it. I had a 98 Neon RT with Konis and Mopar Highrate springs (linear) and this car handles better than that...surprising
Engine...I know that most cars when modding them engine wise usually goes something in the order of CAI, PCM, Exhaust header, Muffler, etc... I am new to Mazda so not really sure if it would go in that particular order...although after reading some posts on here...I am sure it does. I am just not diggin the fact that the CAI has to route over the ENTIRE engine bay to get to the TB...thats a long way for outside air to go...although, that would probably be my first mod.
Interior, DEFINITELY upgrading the speakers...at least the tweets and possibly throwing in an Alpine H/U soon. I am trying to find out whether or not I can get a remote gain for the sub in the back

It's not much, but okay for a budget. The only major mod was the Canadian dealer option of the leather interior. As you see in my list of mods on my sig, everything else was kept pretty simple
