Since everyone else posted about their new tires...

http://itr-nc.com/t5/avs4.jpg

Yokohama AVS-Intermediate in 215/45/17. Z-rated, very low treadwear (160). These tires are incredibly sticky in the dry, and the best "summer" tire I've tried so far in the rain. They won't last long, unfortunately. Maybe 15k miles? I couldn't pass up the deal - $57 each at www.tirerack.com (closeout - they have been replaced by the AVS-ES100).

I also installed the OEM strut tower bar (spring strut brace) I had my local dealer order. Took me about an hour, and that's only because I had to move the ground for my boost gauge.

You do have to bend the bracket for the alarm horn down a bit, but it's explained in the provided instructions and not a drastic bend. Fit is perfect, as expected.
