one of the first things i did when i got my car was replace all the lights.

New Garax 6K HID bulbs (around 80$)

New DRL bulbs (i used some Sylvania ones i forgot the specific model but I'm still not pleased with the color temp and may look at LED ones from VLED's)

LED lights for all interior, puddle lights, Parking lights, Trunk light, Reverse light....i was very happy with this. i highly recommend doing it. The puddle lights are by far the best upgrade. theres a thread by Brocious all about it. the only thing i didn't like was the front domes were blinding so i went with the ones that had a diffuser on them , much happier

just ordered side GFX kit and F-sport springs.

next will be the front GFX lip

good luck

Remove your resonator. It runs for around 60$. It will give it a different sound to your car even more on a cold start! I really recommend it.
