A good tune up, wires, plugs. Oil change, Mobil One Extended or K&N oil filter. Air filter (NO oiled K&N type). Trans & rear end fluids (NO synthetic rear end fluid!). Coolant flush. Brake pads & rotors (blanks, of course). Poly sway bar bushings and end links.

Well the only things I know about the car for mods is what I listed. For exhaust, duals with a x pipe. It also has the smooth bellow. Why is it bad to run oiled filters?

Except, I have seen that he SHOULD use synthetic fluid for his rear end.
I did a lot of research into this and if you have the limited slip diff, (99 & higher), he should be using synthetic fluid.
I have a 99 WS6, and even my owners manual says to use synthetic.
I'm still kinda learning here, so if I'm wrong please correct me

hehehe I hope to learn something every day!
Eaton posi units should NOT have synthetic fluid used with them. It'll stop being a posi.
The pressures and temperatures in the rear is way less than in an engine and the stresses are way less. Plus, synthetics have the propensity to get past rear seals quicker.
I use the Lucas non-synthetic in my rears. It's super sticky and is considered a "climbing" gear oil.

I was going to do a fluid swap on mine to some Royal Purple synthetic fluid with the GM additive, (I have heard controversy on the GM additive too).
Interesting right? >__<
