I think most would say chip, but I think suspension - really make the car handle a LOT better. Of course if you're on as tight a budget as I am, buy whatever you can find the best deal on - that's the avenue I am taking.

Default must have first mod

My first mod was a Piggie shortshifter. The first drive was almost as fun as my first drive when chipped. If you're worried about the warranty, get wheels, suspension, swaybar etc. Pretty much anything that doesn't enhance the performance, SHOULD be ok with you're dealer.
