I Finally Got One!!! A 500e!!!

Hi Everyone,
After a long hunt, I finally picked up a 500E in California. This car is amazing not to mention FAST! I LOVE IT! It has 160K on it and runs and looks like a champ. It has a rebuilt trans, E-code headlights, rebuilt heads, new rear shocks, rebuilt AC system and maybe even a new wiring harness (Installation looks funky). It also has a Bergworks first gear start system on it too!
Anyway, I just got it on Friday and now I'm ready to do some mods. I have already done,,,, yes already,,, a performance chip, which I have noticed a significant increase in power. I also purchased a set of 17X9 Carlsson rims, which will be installed soon. Other than that, I have a huge list of other mods I'm going to make immediately.

ASR defeat

Upgrade calipers

Cross drilled front/ (rear?) rotors

Front shocks

Headers

Complete exhaust system

Fog lamps on bumper ( old ones have holes)

I'm thinking of going with Denso Iridium plugs. Any comments?

Air box

These are the mods I want to start with. If anyone can make some suggestions on the parts above it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Adam
