What should you do next? Here's a few things to consider...

Clear front turn signal lenses
A short throw shifter (if you're manual)
Sequential tail lights
Tail light bezels (shiny black, flat black or chrome)
Striping of some kind (racing, side stripes, C stripes, etc.)
Lowering springs
Upper control arms

You might also consider some small interior mods. I wrapped my console lid up in some fake leather I picked up at the craft store for about $12. Looks 10x better than the crappy plastic look of the stock lid.

I've also put a tri-bar pony emblem on the passenger side dashboard like in the older model cars and i've installed blue and white accent lighting under the dash. At night if I drop something, I can hit the whites to see where it went and I use the blues just for fun. You could install red or whatever color you wanted for fun or shows or whatever.

oh I have the connector off of a vert already and I might try welding in a sub-connector it really doesn't roll much at all through the corners.

as for clear lights I don't swing that way and sequentenials will get you a ticket in my town some city ordinace. Did you mean upper control "arm" thought about that but didn't seem to nesseccery since I do not drag race. Lowering springs came with the Roush Stage 2 complete suspension as well as bars and struts and shocks. keep them comming though

Touche, but you didn't say you had the full Roush stage 2 suspension, you only said Roush Stage 2 sway bars.

I still say UCA, even if you dont drag race it still helps to keep your power on the ground.

Its never a bad time for an aftermarket stereo system either.

If you want more go, a set of headers wont do too much but will help more than hurt and so will a bigger throttle body. Underdrive pulleys are another consideration if you want more go.

Otherwise, you might be looking at saving up for a big mod, like F/I. Supercharger, turbo, etc. or building your motor (forge/stroke or pnp heads/cams) but its gonna cost a pretty penny.

You don't need subframe connectors on an S197..
