why should we have to state reasons for you to mod YOUR car?
all the mods you have listed are minor mods which do not do not perform any major difference to the ride. so go with which you can afford first.
if you were talking suspesion, drop wheels etc. that would be different.
good luck and post some pics.

modding is to each person's own taste. figure out where you want to take your project and go in that direction. also, take your time and do it right the first time. patience is key.

to reply your question: 2 of your choices are cosmetic and 1 is minor minor sound-not even worth mentioning if any performance/mileage increase...i say provide another choice (lower your car). there's tons of info in CL to help you out. check it out. since 66% of your choices are cosmetic, i'd recommend lowering first-makes tons of difference (cosmetically). just my 0.02

As stated before two of your mods are cosmetic and one is "performance" (probably more for sound than anything else, unless coupled with other mods). So it's really a choice of which direction you want to go first. I never really made that distinction so I just buy whatever mods I want at the time.

Intake. I'd rather have it sound and perform a bit better than look a bit better.
