Take your time, research and do everything right the first time.

Heres a list that I would do to start off (just my opinion).

To get started
DIY: black out headlight
Lowering springs
Decent looking rims no bigger than 17s
OEM honda lip kit (front only if money is a problem)
Light tint (if you like tint)

Now work on each section in whichever order you want.

For a LITTLE more speed
Intake
Exhuast
Header
or nothing and save up for K20 (RSX motor)

For better handleing
Neuspeed front upper strut bar
Good quality adjustable springs
Adjustable shocks (full coilovers if money isn't a problem)
Camber kits
Rear sway/tie bar combo
Quality brake pads

For exterior
CF hood
OEM Lip kit all around
Folding side mirrors (if sedan, if coupe customize it on)
Match the paint if needed

For interior
RSX seats
RSX steering wheel
or aftermarket steering wheel if you want
CF interior pieces

And for the ricers
A lot of stickers
Do not lower the car
18'' or bigger chrome wheels
Chrome anything you can
Altezza lights
Neon lights everywhere
A huge unpainted body kit
All body parts mismatched colors
Keep your car dirty

This should take a long time and be fun along the way.
