RE: minor changes?
Look for some used wheels. You might be able to save some money that way. Even at that I had almost $800.00 tied up when I upgraded from 16" to 17" wheels on my S60 recently. Lowering springs, if available for your S90 would probably run around $250.00+, then you have install costs and realignment. I would install a K & N Airfilter to get a little bit more air to the engine. If the windows aren't tinted yet that would be a good cosmetic upgrade. Expect to spend $150.00 - $200.00 on that. A rear spoiler is another cosmetic upgrade that enhances the exterior. I don't know of many upgrades to the engine. A new exhaust system to open things up a bit is a more expensive upgrade.

If you do upgrade your exhaust remember your NA. Backpressure is your friend. I suggest a 2.25"-2.5" mandrel bent and or crush bent catback system with a baffled muffler such a Flowmaster. You wont gain gobs of Hp and TQ from this but you will gain something and will also gain sound.

You really aren't that far from me. LOL
But I have no idea of anyone making one as of yet.
You would have to get ahold of an old one from a junk car and search around for someone that could make you one.
I will try to get a name and Phone # of someone in Daytona that might be able to help you somewhat in your search. He has a shop there he does a bunch of stuff. He puts alot of 5.0 V-8 motors in 240's.

It is going to be a Phone # for a guy who owns a shop that might be able to help you find stuff.
He from what I have heard has installed a manual transmission into a 960.
The Cust had bought and had it imported from sweeden to have put in his car.
The guy I am getting you the phone # for is also an electronics wiz.
