Out of ideas on upgrades..
So sup guys, I have a fair amount of upgrades IMO and my goal is to be able to get everything off my car in 3-4 years and get it back to stock with minimal signs of upgrades (ex: drilling holes, permanent upgrades, etc). I am sort of bored and want to do a few more things to the car that are not too expensive AND are fairly easy to remove later. I was possibly thinking seat covers even though I dont mind the stock ones, maybe interior lighting, different bulbs like on the license plate. Any other ideas? Here is a list of my current upgrades.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
-Raceland CAI
-TRD Exhaust
Suspension Modifications:
-Rokkor Coilovers
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
-OEM Lip Spoiler
-S2K Antenna
-VRD Fog Lights w/ 2500k Hyper Yellow's
-VRD Badgeless Grill
-Red-out Full TBL
-TRD Rear Sway Bar
-Dr. Isotope Radiator Panel
-TRD Front Strut Bar
-Pioneer F90BT Head Unit
-Rockford Fosgate P1S4-12 Subwoofer
-Rockford Fosgate P300-1 Amplifier
-BlueBat Headlight Overlays (bought, but not installed)
-Tweaked-Ice Blue Tinted and Convex Side Mirrors
-AEM Oil Cap
-08 modded headlights

maybe narrow it down to a section first? engine, interior, etc.... i would be ridding my car of rockford subs though, but thats just my preferance. my favorite easy mod on my TC1 was tinting the tails and side markers. i painted but vinyl is easy to remove and still looks good. interior lighting would probably be a good bet. or maybe a led swap if you feel so inclined. its amazing how much a small mod like that can make you smile everytime you turn them on. (at least for a little while)
I will be selling my supercharger here in a week or so, you should pick that up. Bolt on 75 hp in just a few hours. You can always take it back off and sell it when your ready. Other thing would be upgrade your brakes. I run a stoptech BBK on my car, which is fairly expensive, but to me its well worth it. You can get away with just doing better pads, rotors, and lines, but its no where near the same thing. (a lot of people will say it is, but those are the people that cant afford a quality BBK, and have not used a BBK to its max limits, vs. stock limits).
Also, the keytechniques key hole covers (in your door, it covers up the key lock with a clip in piece that looks exactly like the paintcode on your car, makes it look flush). Those are cheap.

IMO, tinting the tail lights and side markers wouldnt go with my AP color. Im actually thinking of doing an led swap on the gauge clusters, just gotta find somewhere (ill be in cali next year and someone here does it and I will be like 30 min from him).
Meh, if I get more money then maybe.
Like underglow or interior lighting?

Im looking at those keyhole covers, they are pretty nice, ty.
Bumping this up since I did a few more upgrades and cant think of much that doesnt get pricey. Max right now is gonna be around $500.
I researched a little about the gauge LED swap and there is a person on SL 30 min from where ill be in Cali in Fall that does the swap.
Any other ideas?
Ill probably do a tint too for that Cali sun.

Wheels might be a good idea, but I cant do the shortshifter/short throw cause I have an auto. Any wheels you might suggest? I was looking at like Drag DR-31 or MB Weapons (everyone has them in my color though, Azure Pearl).
