Next, I would buy a tripod.

Then, I would do some research, look at hundreds of cars and parts, and decide how I wanted my car to turn out.

Then, I'd save my money.

Then, I'd buy the parts and put them on.

Headlights, grill, and fog lights are a nice starting point. The car is what you make it, follow your own path.

Your ride looks shaken, but clean. If you plan on doing a lot of night shooting - get a tripod like everyone else said. It's really hard to do something original with a honda now a days. But, if you can thank of it, do it.

I think you should paint your sideskirts. You already got the drop, now you need a lip, and you'll have HT stage1 mods completed.

Screw all the exterior mods. You should get some nice wheels to accentuate the cleanliness of the car,Enkeis, 5zigens, or Works . Then motor or if you enjoy the interior of the car like i do, maybe a seat or steering wheel.

I think you should get an OEM front lip. Once you have it, you'll need to color match the lip and side skirts. After that, you'll be at the entry level and ready for some more serious mods.
