- FULL SOUND SYSTEM (subs, amp, deck, etc)
- RIMS
- BODY KIT (including front grills)
- EXHAUST
- SPOILER
- DVD/VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM (including LCD screens, videogames)

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!

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

I have only done:

- TINT
- SPOILER
- CLEARED HEADLIGHTS

and I think I would do the rest in this order:
- RIMS
- CAR LOWERING
- BODY KIT (including front grills)

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

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 ...
