Question Should I even do anything?

Hi, I recently got a brand new 2009 Mazda3 S Touring A/T w/ tiptronic. (Please don't rag on me for the A/T, I'm still proud of this car )

Anyways, I wanted to tweak it and was wondering if it is even worth it. I'm not a car xpert and just need yours guys opinion. To tweak or not to tweak

basic bolts and thats if you just want the car to sound nice (personally the car was too quiet and it pissed me off) and gain a little mpg and nicer response out of the throttle (bolt ons with this car really dont add that much hp/tq)

Stick with the basics. Go for a shark fin antenna and tint the windows. Makes your car stand out more. Alas, we are the new cavalier/sunfire of the 21st century. As far as engine mods, nah.

How do those Shark Fin antennas perform compared to the stock one? I'd like one but I don't want to sacrifice reception.

Did not mean to touch a nerve. Don't get me wrong, car is not like a sunfire/cavilier performance or quality wise. Just that everyone has one.

I notice no difference with the radio. However, I just listen to my sat radio anyways. No comercials.............
