depends what your after, and what you want to acomplish. Think over what you really want from the car, and focus on that. Also focus on what you want the overall style to be of the car, and stick to it firm, don't just buy something because you got a good deal on it.
If you want a great handling car, buy good suspension compoents and love how the car feels after
if you want it to look really sexy, and clean, buy some nice rims, add a drop, and give it a good wax and polish, and do some subtle mods like cleaning reflectors etc and you will be amazed and how much it sets the car off...

Honestly, a stead income is what keeps the hobby going. If you have one, that's a good start.
If you just want to show it, then appearance first. If you want to sharpen your driving skill and make the car handle and go faster, then get R compound tires and attend Solo2 events. If there isn't one in Sarnia, you might need to travel a bit to get to one.
In general, people who focus more on exterior and ICE tend not to get into too detail as far as driving is concerned, and by driving, I mean skill wise. Those who target driving skills tend to overlook at these areas and they do more suspension and engine works. Again, that's a general aspect, not 100% correct of course.

Ah, all these guys hating on the new Civics. They don't know hat they are missing. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead driving an EG, but that's me. My 7th Gen drives so much nicer then my 98.
Anyway, the first thing I did was lower it and get a short shift adapter. Next I tinted the windows and I got some rims. I'm currently shopping for a suspension set up.
I don't think my car looks like ***.

I really think Rims/Tires are your best first mod. They change both the look of the car and can improve handling if the right package is put on. I just got my 2000 and that is the first mod I am doing to it. From there you can decide whether you want to go the "show" or "go" route.
