Default Tight budget, what should i do next?

hey guys here is my 89 Civic Si. I am currently running a SOHC ZC with C.A.I., 2 1/4 Cat-back exhaust, Blown shocks on Ractive Coilovers, LOL. I bought Robs. Tein SS Full Coilovers off him and now im just waiting on Energy LCA bushings from my mechanic. And along with that im gonna do the Tie Rods, New ball Joints, and new Upper Control Arms then go for an Alignment. Now the previous owner did the cutouts for the JDM fogs but he did a crappy job and now i wanna change the bumper to a Black 90-91 Bumper but the moldings would be different?? or if i can find just the JDM Bumper Cover I will buy that. I was gonna wax it but my buddy went to Cuba so I gotta wait till next w/e. So whats next guys. Positive and Negative feedback OK
Currently this is how it is

Wow, that car is pretty damned clean for a Toronto car (mine was from Markham haha). Did the previous owner leave the Si lip on when he cut the fog holes hacking into the lip in the process?! What a hack job.

But yeah, looks like it'll be a beautiful car once fully detailed .

Needs: New exhaust, full detail, center garnish, do something with the hole for the wiper, you could just fix up the foglight holes (make them rectangular/equal) and get a new Si lip, and uhh...clean car!

On a side note...are those EL rims? Looks clean!

Im thinking of either putting a B16 or a gsr in it with a complete valvetrain job. but thats next year. What is the engine models for integras??? I know that the ITR motor is B18c5 but how about ls/vtec or gsr?? Those gsr motor can handle a lot of abuse huh

Not a bad looking car. I would for sure change the front wrap. I was woundering if you got the complete set of the three diff wheels. I see si and blades on one side not sure what other side is. My buddie is looking for blades for his 94 hatch

First 2 things you should do is:

1) Get a new exhaust
2) put on that new suspension
