First thing done to your Evo X
If you are going to dump her in a year:
Don’t buy anything, the stocker, the better to negotiate back these cars specially with dealerships.
Buy air fresheners
If you are going to keep her for a while (couple of years):
Start saving for a new set of tires, you will eat them in a year or so.
Change your oil, do your recalls if any
Buy air fresheners
If you are going to keep her forever:
Start focusing in the payoff of your car and maintenance; learn how to properly drive a AWD car.
Oil changes if you are going to drive her as you are supposed to (hard)
Tran’s fluids (two different fluids and services), radiator cooling and engine oil, a new clutch depending of your driving habits, balance your tires, gas, you have a lot of money to spend to keep her happy
You have a cool car already, what a shift knob difference do? In any case, work in the performance, maybe AP II, won't hurt and you can always sell it back.
Buy air fresheners
If you are not millionaire, meaning that you work your axx every day to pay your car, don't throw your cash. After $30k in mods I have see here guys selling their cars for the same amount that would cost stock, because they loose their jobs.

Half the fun of owning these cars is to mod them.

I'll take delivery in a week, but first mods which I've already ordered are Weathertech all weather floor mats, Rally Armor mud flaps, and 2 catch cans. When I get the car, I'll be tinting it and getting a clear bra. After that = mods for speed + handling.
I want this car to last a loooong time.

Interesting center console differences.
