Default Air filter and FMIC

Hi everyone!
Was thinking for far in the future mods for my WRX wagon (2005). Still wanting to keep it looking like a sleeper, as in standard form they really are!
When you start pushing over 300-350 (which it may not go further) but I was looking at costing up for a FMIC , any ideas? Past experience?
Also been toying with the idea of cutting the offside fog lamp out and putting a cold air duct through and up into the area where the air filter is seated? Could I do that now, with standard spec and would it have any MAJOR repercussions??? The air filter itself would need upgrading to probably an open - with a shield as the engine gets hot, don't want to be counter productive.... But its something I would like to try.. a lot of people say its a must that you have it tuned after, but they said that about my BOV and that hasn't put a foot wrong in 3 months....
Thanks in advance

Side note, had it timed today by my Dad, it did a 0-60 of 5.9 so still in amazing condition to do a factory time after 98,000 miles! Will be having fresh oil soon
