It seems like the FIPK-II is the most popular suggestion so far and may get the nod for the next increment of upgrade money. I don't want to do too much to the car as I plan to give it to my daughter in 2 years when she goes to college. At that point I'm looking at an Accord V6 6spd manual with navigation.

Rep Power: 0 I think it's hard to make our cars much faster unless you get a turbo or some nitrous. One thing I love is handling though. I wish I had lighter wheels but my tenzos will do for bigger tires and grip. I have B&Gs too.
So if you have wheels and a drop already, improve on your handling.
Progress rear sway bar = $175 (suprising no one mentioned this, since it's 22mm and comes with a nice thick rear lower tie bar. ) By the way, 2001 EX have these and I think 2002 up LX and EX have them. If you look under your car in the rear, you will see a black bar that crosses from one wheel to the other. This is one of the most significant mods you can do. The other bars just prevent the body frame from twisting, due to this bar I think.
Neuspeed front upper strut = $110. I think that would cover suspension. Don't think a front sway is necssary with a 25mm bar already in place from oem. That X-brace looks nice, but I think would be a lil overkill.
I've got $715 left for aesthetics. I guess I could save up for a turbo, but I just don't want a SF kit when it's not legal yet and cops are getting trained in CA to crack down on that stuff.
Black TYC projectors = $215 (EBAY or Circa X)
Ultrabright's McCulloch HID kit 6000K = $310
Dang, money all gone already, only $190 left. Damn car took all my money...haha. Truthfully, I wouldn't buy new projectors, too many ppl selling used ones for about $150 shipped. And I guess I would want a local to sell me a used Carbon fiber monster or invader hood. Don't have enough money for that, so I guess gotta save up for that.
It's these threads that make me think how much I still want to do to my car...haha. Oh and the money...*sigh*

Rep Power: 0 $1000 ay? I think I would just save it. Untill I get $3000, and get a GS-R... then start there... I didn't answer the question... I won't spend it. There! This stupid 1.7L 115hp engine is trash... but it saves me gas!!!
