Miata accessories advice?

Hi!

Well, I found my dreamcar: a low mileage black/black 95 with the P package
and air. As you’ll see below, I’m already getting a bit carried away with
wanting to get every accessory that’s available. I want to turn this car
into one of the most elegant and fastest Miatas around, short of turboing
or supercharging it (that may come later…) I want it to look really low
and wide, like an old Shelby Cobra, handle like a slot car, with all
finish in black and chrome, with alot of chrome under the hood, too.

I’d appreciate your help in prioritizing which of the below upgrades will
most affect my enjoyment of my new car. If you have any experiences,
preferences or advice about the choices of brands I’ve indicated, that
would help me as well. If you have email addresses for anyone specifically
in the group who would be open to my contacting them for their input,
please forward this to them, or send me their addresses.

I’ll also be looking for a reputable independent shop in the Santa Monica
area to install alot of these items for me.

Thanks in advance for your help!
