remove front side skirt mudguards .
add subtle spoiler - even oem wud help or you could go with the blitz
adding g35 rear mudgaurds might help the rear tie in with the front a little. just a little something. imo - the rear just looks a little too plain with the attention all gone to the front (which looks good).
black door handles
then wheels and lower. even other stock finish oem wheels with spacers would work out a lot better, just my least favorite oem wheel you got there. find a junk yard near you and pick up a set of
these:

or

sorry for hating.

I would scrap the idea of modding for power period... you already mentioned you are doing what you can afford... adding power to this car is not cheap (FI or bust). As others have mentioned, I would go for a nice set of wheels.

Wheels (or spacers at least)
OEM spoiler or similar
Sideskirts and rear
Looks like you're lowered, so get your camber/toe fixed
Rolled fenders
Exhaust
Black roof wrap

I'm getting a black roof top done along with black handles in the coming week actually. I know I really need better wheels so will try to save up for them. I just wanted to do something engine wise as well to keep up so might do an exhaust upgrade like some people have suggested. And i guess I can't do "too" much with the performance without throwing any big bucks down. And I'm looking into Eibach sportline but have been told they might be too low so need to look into that.

I'm actually not lowered at all. Sideskirts is something I am def looking into. For the rear, I want to go with maybe a chargespeed bumper. Still debating on that.

I don't know what rolled fender are so will look into that and agree on the last two things you told me. Thanks for your advice man

Coilovers next?
Or new shocks and springs to get lower. Your choice.
It's either performance or aesthetics when it comes to lowering.

there are so many things u can do. Paint the roof black, finish the body kit, new wheels, tint the turn signals, paint door handles, cf mirror, new tails/headlight, tommy kaira badge, hfc/tp, y pipe, exhaust, turbo, intake, sway bar, suspension, 6k bulbs everywhere, racing steering wheel, nos, new audio, cf hood, cf hatch, turbo, camber arms/toe, engine cover, i could go on and on. I doubt you will run out of ideas, and i doubt u couldnt find any other mods to do.

just look around on the web and here. get some ideas brewing in your head. think about them long and hard. then decide and spend wisely.

just make sure everything is clean looking. You seem to have black and orange set as your theme. stick with it.

like everyone else has said, oem wheels, blacked out roof, black handles possibly.
