Default Exhaust or rear body kit first?

Been thinking of putting Ings rear and Tanabe medallion exhaust.

Which of these 2 do u think should be put first, if there's a budget?

Was thinking of exhaust first then body kit, right or wrong?

Since the IS stock look already very good, I will go for Exhaust....

I did get the front lip first thou... coz I always wanted to mod the outlook rather than mod the engine parts...

That's exactly what I did as far as my first mode is concerned. So, I second that notion.

Exhaust first, then the kit to compliment the Tanabe and the lines of the car

Exhaust is more functional.

Body kit is only cosmetic, and there are cheaper and better ways to change cosmetics on a car...

not at all. When you cold start, its a little louder, but a low deep growl, then it goes away and sounds just like stock. When driving, its a really low deep tone from under 3500rpms.
