Default $1000 dollars into a 2dr 96 what should I do?

I have 1000 dollars to drop into my civic right now, I haven't done anything to it yet, I was wondering what you guys would suggest on doing?

I was thinking about getting a lip spoiler and painting it. but that's only 85 + paint so there's a butt-load left. This car is going to be a daily driver so keep that in mind.

lowering?
CD-Player? cause I don't have one yet
Intake?

You tell me....

"What should I do next to my car?" topics are a BIG no-no.

We are not a personal consulting service. We do not know your financial situation, your motor preference, or your aesthetic tastes. Do what YOU want and/or can afford to your car. Topics with questions regarding a specific product are fine, but broad questions asking for help on deciding what you should do to your hott ride next are not permitted any longer.

Get these first and then save up for more....
Intake system
Cat-back exhaust
Coilover suspension

I wouldn't even worry about an intake. Just modify the stock air box so that the main opening is in the wheel well. Get a k&N drop in filter and there ya go.

Rota's 16 or 15 inches
upgrade the struts and springs. (KYB AGX W/Eibach springs, and I love it.

and then a nice cat-back exhaust.

Yo I live down in Seattle. If you want some Tein S-Tech lowering springs for the 96-00 Civics I can sell them to you.

I would get ground control coil over sleeves with Integra Type R spring rates and Koni Yellow shocks. I think suspension mods make a much larger difference than your typical intake, header, exhaust upgrades. Search, this question is fairly common.
