Default Recommendation for next mod project

Here is what I have done so far (Not much BTW)
1. Spoon snorkel intake with stock intake box modifications and K&N filter
2. Stereo install, Pioner HU, Pioneer 6 disc changer, Kenwood components in doors, Kenwood speakers in rear , 2 pioneer 300W amps, 12" sub in home built Stealth box replica
3. 2005 Silver Radio Door
4. "S" badges as soon as I pick them up from Urmil at the Dragon

Here is some info about how I use the car

1. I do not track the car but like to drive it aggressively
2. It is not my daily driver
3. Wife is not into to much "Bling bling" if you know what I mean
4. I like acceleration and handling. Stock looks are fine with me and keep the po po off my butt
5. Being I have 5 kids I need to do in steps to keep the cash flow down.

Here are some of my thoughts

1. Hondatech intake gasket
2. After market exhaust (Not to loud though)
3. 4.77 gears
4. Sway bars
5. X-brace
6. Coil overs and lower car

How would you rank the above list and/or would you add anything.

Your opinion are appreciated

X-brace is a very simple, cheap, and effective mod.

Sounds to me like you want a Fujisubo (sp?) exhaust.

You'd probably like the gears if you like to drive agressively.

I dont think the x-brace would net you great $ for fun factor.

The exhaust would make things a bit more fun as well, assuming its not ricey.

I'd pick up a V1 while youre at it. Unless of course you don't speed. =)

Looks like gears are in 1st followed by coil overs.

I already have a mini-van so the sienna is out of the question.
