Smile Future Monte Mods, am I missing anything?

So what I have for a list of mods on the Supercharged Monte is:
LED Tail Lights
Black and Chrome Rims
New Downpipe and Highflow Cat
New Tires
Louder Exhaust (havent picked one yet)
Rear windows tinted 2.5%
Cold Air Intake
So my ? is is there anything else that I should possibly consider adding to that list, shes just a summer cruiser so don't want to do anything major yet, but open to suggestions.

Cai
Tuned pcm
Inexpensive speed daddy header (will have the downpipe)
...i think with these mods, you can safely drop pulley.

if you are talking about the black headlight for your style then they are pretty good. i had a little trouble with the rubber around them but that wasnt anything glue couldnt fix


edit: I see now that it was for HIDs....i have to start reading closer

You could always go with colder plugs and a colder thermostat. If you haven't replaced them yet on your monte, it's just good maintenance, and they are supporting mods for dropping pulley sizes in the future, if you ever plan to go a little further with the engine.

Strut tower braces are an affordable handling mod. Also polyurethane sway bar bushings may help stiffen up the steering a bit.
Mike I agree on the HIDs, I love mine and can't wait to get the fogs done.
