my mods came out to roughly $2k...here you go...
window tint - $250
tein s springs + install - $400
TSW staggered bronze wheels 18" - $1100
Reused and stretched stock tires (installation cost) - $100
HID Depot - $50
vinyl is your friend - color matched grille and emblems, eyebrows - $50
replaced fogs and DRLs - $50
rear lip spoiler - $100
debadged, filler material with touch up paint - $30
most importantly, i would consider aftermarket springs, and some nice 18" wheels to reuse your stock tires.

I'd suggest lowering first definitely, but most people on this forum will tell you to forget springs and go adjustable coilovers.
Megan Ez coilovers go for around $600 new I believe? Cheapest price I've seen for new coilovers. But they don't go as stiff as the other coilovers.
After a drop, I'd say save for a kit or wheels. But for wheels, do your research about fitments before purchasing.
IMO a good drop and nice set of wheels will make a car pop out most.
*and I'd suggest you peel off your front emblem plasti dip. I've seen blacked out grilles & emblems, and some contrast would look better.

If you can wait I'll sell you a few things cheap like eibach springs, Ings rear lip and front lip and all you have to get is side skirts and repaint. I'll sell all 3 for 400 bucks since the front lip is crack but can be easily repaired during the repaint.
If your car is star fire pearl it would be cheaper since I have star fire pearl and you wouldn't have to paint the rear and would could just swap bumpers
