Default Newbie needs advice

OK, I've had my 04 GT for 3 weeks now and I'm digging it. As far as I can tell this GT is stock except for the shorty antenna. I need advice on things I need to look out for that are specific to the 04 GT model. I also would like opnions about how to prioritize the performance upgrades that I want to do. What should I do first?? Plugs, wires, cold air intake, other ideas....

Opinions about brands of plugs, wires, intakes, etc. will be helpful as well

Thanks

1) Seat Covers that don't obstruct side air bags.
2) Color matched Blanes Hood Struts.
3) Upgraded spark plug wires.
4) Upward looking lens like this:




...and a long country road!

The stock champions aren't that bad - it's the wires that stick - get Crane wires at www.RaceAndStreet.com do the plugs at the same time, gap at 0,040.
I like my K&N intake, but it's pricey unless you get it used, like I did.
Best bang for your buck is stage 1 from the dealer.
