What order did you mod your fit in?

I'm thinking this is going to be my order of modding:

1. Custom Intake - $50
2. Lowering Springs(Progress) - $160 + 85 install = $250
3. Rims(Jmag Royal Blue on a NHBP) - $550 + 65 mounting/balancing = $620
4. Muffler(Tanabe Medallion Touring) - $415
5. Header(Megan Street) - $200
6. Rear Sway(Progress) - $170
7. Head Unit/Metra Kit(Eclipse CD-4000) $240
8. Downpipe(Megan) - $150
9. B-Pipe(Megan) - $250
10. 195/55/VR15 Kumho Ecsta ASX tires - $350 mounted/balanced
11. All Speakers + Sound Deadening(Type X Comps front, Type R Coax rear and Dynamat for front doors) - $380
12. Last mod, Nitrous.(NX Fly-By-Wire kit @ 35-50-75 shot w/
window switch) - $1000

Start with the cheapest easiest mod, then go for looks, but a lowered car with rims can't go without exhaust, (so the DIY mods start) so the muffler goes on, then the header, then for some handling performance the rear sway, after that I'll probably be needing an audio upgrade, so the HU goes in, then I'll save up and install the other exhaust parts one at a time. By then I'll probably be tired of the "loud" stock tires, so I'll upgrade those, then I'll save up a while longer and finish out the audio system(for now, until I decide if I want to put a woofer and two amps in the back or not), and lastly, when I've gotten used to the 17 second fit, I'll throw on the n2o kit and take my fit down into the high 14s ;-P. -- Wow. That was a run-on sentence. --

So, what about you?!

I'd do the Progress bar before intake/exhaust, you'll notice a bigger difference.

i forgot the chronology, but it's in my newbie intro thread.
you can read from before ownership up to like last week.




but typically i do suspension work first followed immediately
by wheels, muffer/intake, interior stuff, dressup. in that order.

1a. Piaa Yellow Fogs

2. Short Ram intake
3. Cat-back Exhaust
4. Progress Rear Swaybar
5. 16" Rims
6. Progress Lowering springs

there is still some small things I want to get but I think for the most part im going to ease up on the mods and get the car paid off.
