Yep, I know that SRM has nothing to do with AT, I was just trying to get at the often quoted value of the sports package, which for me would just boil down to VLDS and brakes, so I am not sure. I am thinking I might be interested in a quaife differential for the AT and I could just wait patiently for someone wanting to sell their sport package brakes as they upgrade further.

Well, more research has yielded serious concerns about insurance issues, and I definitely won't bother with a tune, so I am researching high value, basic upgrades. The feedback thus far has mostly been about context rather than parts and purpose, so now I regret sharing the context details.

If I could do it all over again, I guess my post would read something like this:

What body kits, suspension components, and intake/exhaust mods would you recommend to someone on a tight budget with the following objectives:

1) Base model from 2011, 2012, or 2013... with AT. (edit: I am leaning towards a 2012 as my first choice, like the styling and should find a better price)

2) Mostly satisfied with base model performance, but would like to increase smoothness of ride as the top priority and horsepower/handling just a smidge.

3) Plans on custom wheels/tires regardless, and wants to stay at either factory height/clearance or drop up to maybe a 1/2 inch at the most.

4) Does not want any rear wing but looking at very modest designs for side skirts and maybe front lip and rear bumper treatment/diffuser kind of thing???

5) Does not care about nav, leather, heated seats, stereo, resale value, etc... and if I can find a really good deal on something with some cosmetic damage I will finish the project with a custom vinyl wrap.
