What springs are you running?
And... what shocks?
I'm so torn! I want so many toys for the car and don't know where to start!
Wheels/tires
or
springs/shocks
or
front lip, clear the lights, clear sidemarkers
or
exhaust
And my rear bumper has a booboo... it was there when I got it. Maybe I should get that fixed (might need a new bumper cause of the crack)

the first thing i did was lower my car with espelir springs on stock shocks, that made me happy with have little to no wheel gap. I will soon get either coilovers or shocks to go along with my springs soon. The next thing I did is i HATE those damned orange diffusers, but on yellow and red i think they look really good. Then I got an exhaust cuz I hate not being able to hear what my engine is doing and i just never had an exhaust so i wanted one. Now i want a front lip, then an intake, then some wheel/tires. But honestly its up to you, if you hate looking at wheel gap as much as I do lower it. I'd definately lower it before u get rims, i hate rims on a non-lowered car, it looks rediculous to me. search the site on exhausts, its all about what you want to accomplish with your car, whether its looks or power first. Looks, I would lower it, get a lip, and get some wheels and tires and an exhaust for looks and to start performance. Performance, intake, exhaust, Engine management system, test pipe, clutch, flywheel, and maybe even some gears. Its all up to your personal preferences. Good luck!

I went for the CAI by K&N / FIIPK first, followed by Espelier Springs, and now I am looking into exhausts. The CAI produces some nice sounds for the dollar when you push the pedal to the floor.

Springs/Shocks: I recommend the Tein Flex Coilovers or the Buddyclub coilover system
Exhaust: If I were you, I would find somebody who has a mandrel bender. And build your own exhaust. That way you can pick the helmholtz resonators, mufflers, and angles of the bends. However I would do some research on the best location of the resonator. Different locations will give you different results in both performance and sound. And remember that Loud does not always mean more horsepower. Most of your exhausts will only free up a few ponies anyway. Quite a price to pay for a few ponies.
Your rear bumper: Find somebody who is selling one here or on ebay. Either way you are going to have to take it to repaint it to match your color. HumbleS2K and Xlr8 will tell you that is a major pain in the poopenshaft as it is.
I would go with the springs and shocks first. Then exhaust. Then bumper. Then wheels and tires. But that's because I like function over form.
