10k for Mods: Seeking Original Ideas

I have a typical AW M3 with black P40 HREs.

I'm seeking some originality/performance upgrades. What would you guys go with. Order them from first to last.

Current Mods:
Eisenmann Sport
HRE P40s
Yellow Brembo 380 kit.

Maybe change some colors around? Graphite wheels? Different color BBK? Like I said I'm looking for some originality.

I'm not sure if there are too many original performance mods left to be had. Cosmetic stuff might be easier to work with...........Phil

Yeah, that's definitely what I mean.

Performance upgrades are straight forward.

If performance is the metric, then a SC seems like the obvious answer. If not interested in a SC, tune + pulley + intake + spacers would at least get you started (though you'd still have a lot of $$$ to spend)

No, turn in will be much improved and it will take jumps as well.
