Future plans:

This is the fun part:
15" TSW-Hock R-style wheels painted dark metallic gray on 195/50-15 tires
4" round driving lights
Will modify the front grille to metal mesh (a la BMW M3 bumper opening)

If successful, I'll write about how I did it.

Neuspeed spring set (1" - 1.5" drop)
Fuba antenna
Passenger side mirror or a cool set of sport mirrors…
Upgraded halogen headlights.
Low-restriction exhaust system with a not-too-loud resonator.
Smoked rear taillights (no, I ain't gonna eat 'em)
A decent stereo system.
VW seat covers
Tachometer
Grant GT gray steering wheel
Aluminum pedal set
Center rear seatbelt (very important - I have a baby)
Wishful thinking: A 5-speed tranny..

None yet.

I love this car.
