Need your input, what am I forgetting on this mod list

Here is the breakdown. I am adding things to the list and crossing them off as I get them done. I am a goal oriented kind of guy as it gives me something to strive for and feels good when things get accomplished and I can mark them off. Also the wife said she wanted a "what I want to do to this car" list so she doesn't get sticker shock like she did with the Jeep ($1500 bumpers, $1000 lift kits, $1700 rims and tires, etc)

A little background. My 2010 S is my daily driver and I enjoy it. I am by no means thinking it is more than what it is, a fun to drive 4 door economy car so I know I am not going to get major performance out of it (that is what the turbo H22 for the 3rd gen Prelude is for). I am just looking to make it stand out a little more and personalize it as well as make it a nicer place to be on drives to work everyday and road trips between Michigan and Texas.

Here is the little bit I have done so far:
DRL disable
Polk Audio front and rear speakers
Installed my Kenwood amp and my 2 10" Boston Acoustic G1 Subs
Added Sat. radio
HIR bulbs

Here is my "To Do" list, What am I missing?

Tint (This is getting done as soon as the weather gets above freezing, my 8 month old screams everytime the garage door opens and the sun blasts him in the face)

Clarion NX501 Head Unit (Bluetooth, nav, ipod, sat radio control)

Lexus GS Shark Fin Antenna Adapter (I hate soldering Coax)

4 channel amp for the Polks

Takeda Intake

Pivot 3 Throttle Controller

Borla Exhaust

Headlight Eyelids

Rear window/roof spoiler

TRD springs

17" Rota Grid Wheels or Enkei EMK3 Wheels and Tires (still deciding between the 2)

Still working on it. Had a family emergency so things got put on hold for a while. Got the audio done except for the 4 channel amp. Backup camera goes in next week and going to get my tint done in the next couple of weeks. Doing the clear bra after my chipped up bumper gets repainted. Pretty much everything listed above except for retrofit, LED tails and the red out, I like the stock lights in the rear and my HIR setup is good.

list sounds good but i would get some bars also to help tighten that handling. It doesnt affect the comfortability very much at all and really does help the feel of your car. and go with Grids

Yup, got bars and visors on the list as they were mentioned above. I crossed the Enkeis off the list. Now I am stuck between xxr 521's and the Grids.
