There is no such thing as a perfect order. Everyone does it differently. Probably the most common way if you're just looking for a show car exterior is Rims, Lower it, get a kit, paint it, get a stereo and other crap.
Just go with what you have money for at the moment. There's no need to stretch yourself to buy something you can't afford.

i'd rather drive a fast well-handling car that shoots out some nice tunes and is appealing to the eyes while i'm driving it. Who cares what the outside looks like...i'll be spending the majority of my time in the car then standing outside looking on it.
