depends on what your intended use for the car is.. spec racing, rollcage and safety equipment. just to make it look better.. paint job. go fast, turbo.
it's really up to you and your situation.

man you need to evaluate your own desires and needs!!!
Is the motor shot, are you going to have to rebuild it or swap it out soon!?!?!
Is the paint ugly, nasty, rust, etc etc etc????
Do you drive around in a suburban area where there are countless middle-aged moms in H2's who cant drive for **** and so would like some protection?!?!?!?!

think about what you need and would like and then go from there!
Personally i like my **** to look nice so i'd start with paint!

if the outside looks like crap with rust holes and such leave it and get the turbo. people will think its a pos but when u smoke them its just too good of a feeling.

bitches do like shiny paint however, they will love the sound and feeling of a turbo-charged honda even more. Plus if you can beat the **** out of some other dudes ride, who cares who looks better if one of you is wayyyy faster!

BOOST, then cage.

If i were to get a paint job i'd want it perfect! no way i'd get one w/out a place to garage it. My personal plan is paint it last because by the time i do everything else i want to do (A LOT!) i will hopefully have a garage spot

good luck oh and btw, boost that bitch!
