get a real exhaust, and ditch the XO2? (thats just my opinion)
ART Pipes
Tune

Front and rear sway bars - I highly recommend these, they make a huge difference.

I agree, Art pipes or FI resonated + MD shockwave or FI Intimidator exhaust
Mrev2
tune

and suspension

Consider 06+ headlights

Are you going for performance or looks?

I noticed you have a revup motor. You have the spacer but not the MREV2, you need the mrev.

Im undecided on whether to go performance or looks.....

I was thinking BC coils, 06 Headlights, and maybe ART pipes and a tune .... thinking headers but must people on driver say they arent worth it.

But then I was thinking Coils Nismo front and sides OR ING front and sides OR just INVEN front and sell my wheels for cheap and get a set of xxr526 since none of the Cali guys wanna ship their wheels when they sell them (bastards)

at this point totally in the air

and as far as the xo2 exhaust .... I have had it for 2+ year threw rain sleet and snow and it still looks and performs fine so Im keepin it. I may get some motordyne tips

You know what I forgot all about a MREV2.... That, ART pipes, tune should wake my baby up a bit.

Might have to add that to the list.

it's only not worth it for non-rev DE's w/o cams, you have a RevUp so you'll see better gains.

You should also consider swapping to a 3.7 FD pumpkin. It's not that expensive and the quicker acceleration is nice.

Save your money, then next year when you have another 3-4K go for turbos or supercharger!

My 6th gear is Reverse, I drive a 5AT . But at 80 mph, I'm around 3400 rpm or so.

The prices for the lights and mrev2 are about right for new parts, but you can find a 3.7 pumpkin w/VLSD for a lot cheaper. I bought my 3.7 with 18k miles from eBay for $400 shipped. My shop installed it for like 40 bucks or something, it was a direct swap.
