What to do with my 09 SV

I own a dark blue 09 SV model with no packages. Right now it's all stock, besides my 10" subwoofer. I was wondering what I should do to start making it look good.
My main options I was thinking about were

Rims- I would only buy black rims, and this would make me consider buying bigger wheels, because the stock ones are a little small. And how big of a rim could I fit into my wheel right now?

Repainting the car- probably too expensive, but the only color I would consider is black because it looks best on this car i think.

Changing the grills- I dont like the stock grill, especially the one next to the fog lights. I wouldn't want to spend a bunch of money on this either

Lights- don't know what I do with the lights, probably do other stuff first.

Any other suggestions a re welcome.

Ps. Is their anyway to adjust my subwoofer more than just the +5 in the settings? I've seen things that plug in to the port in the thing infront of the glove box that seem to adjust sound.
Also, is there a way I can watch videos on my screen without opening up the dash or having a premium package or anything?

I know almost Nothing about cars so if you guys could elaborate that would be nice. Thanks.

you can go up to 21s and the height of the tire will be the same as stock. but 20s are a lot easier to find. i have 22s though. and they fit ok.

for the body, you could do vinyl. two-tone or the whole car. its a lot cheaper than paint and reversible,

Is your ride as smooth as it was with stock rims or do bigger rims make it more bumpy?

as for lights go if u dont already have HID u can change lows and fogs, fully LED swap in/outside the car. As for other stuff u can go for "Performace Wise" as in get a intake, Exhaust, Y-pipe which are all just swap bolt ons and then u can get a drop either Eibach springs or Coilovers depending how low u wana go. Rear sway bar and Front Strut bar is also available from Stillen or RacingLine. Looks u can get either the Sarona fully body kit which IMO doesnt look good or u can get the stillen front Lip which in my opinion complements the car better. U can get a rear roof spoler either from Ebay for cheap or u can get from Stillen for a pretty good penny. As for grilles they have a couple of aftermarket u can look into.

And does anyone have an economy chip?
