Hello - Hello! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Well, here's the issue. You said you can definitly feel that it's a deep scratch, meaning it's at least down to either the primer or bare metal. You can get the touch up paint from any Hyundai dealer, but alot of times the touch up paint doesn't quite match the rest of the car 100%. And if it does, you'll have little brush strokes in the paint from applying it. The other issue is that if it's down to bare metal...the touch up won't adhere to the car for very long, and rusting may start if it gets wet or damp.
You can and rub the area out with rubbing compound, and then try some color wax. But to be totally honest....the absolute best way to get rid of a deep scratch..is to go to the body shop. And depending on the size of the scratch..that might run you anywhere from 100 up to 400.
As for basic mods, like what everyone else said..you can either do the strut bars, or CAI. Other ideas that you can do yourself are interior/engine paint, pedals, shift knob, neon lights, tint, basic stereo upgrades, etc...
Other things that are just a little more expensive are lowering springs ($200) and then have a suspension shop (Monroe, Midas, Rice Shop) install them for between 150 and 200. You could also buy a universal muffler for around 100-150, go somewhere like Monroe Muffler and they can bend you a custom exhaust and install everything for like 100-150.
Good luck with your buildup! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
