2. extreme grahics
3. bumper stickers
4. Dvd player
5. Playstaion
6. fake turbo simulator
7. porno for the dvd
8. 6 feet tall aluminum wing
9. chrome rims
10. more gay lights
NOTTTT!! thats the 10 choices, i would least likely to do to my car

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
- TINT
- SPOILER

I think do the cosmetic stuff and the suspension mods first ... because those are the major mods that you and other people can see/ feel right away
my mod sequence is as follow ....
1) tint
2) clear lights / hyper white bulbs / interior lights ..
3) air filter
4) aluminum pedals / footrest
5) rear spoiler
6) rims
7) springs / shocks / sways / RSMs
will do / may do ...
1) body kits / roof spoiler
2) exhaust / intake
3) pulley
4) S/C
depends how long I decide to keep my car
I think that's about it ...
