Rep Power: 0 I'd go for the ICE first... since you're going to be inside the car for maybe hours a day, you'd want to have a really nice sound system 
and get a nice alarm right away!

Rep Power: 0 well since my oem kit came from honda that would be my first mod,
alarm was next, and most important, then tint, then sound, then lowered alteeza's and CAI all at once.
next on the block are 18's and a cf hood

- SPOILER

The rest I can do without but if I had to do it then it'd be as follows:
- INTAKE
- EXHAUST
- FULL SOUND SYSTEM (subs, amp, deck, etc)
- DVD/VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM (including LCD screens, videogames)
- CARBON FIBRE HOOD
