Thanks everyone. The tires are 235's (which is stock size, right?).

As for mods, the more immediate ones are going to be the radio upgrade, wheels, cold air intake, and exhaust. Later i would like to do a tune, and maybe some headers but that wont be for quite a while.

I also plan to build a center console. I already fabbed up a temporary cupholder, but I'd like a more typical console, or just something to go between the seats.

Yeah, interesting that those steeliness on our car make the tires look wide. What wheels are you thinking about?
