1) CompTech or Eibach sways first! (I think you will really appreciate the sways more if you don't already have the springs, plus you won't have to worry about wearing out your stock shocks sooner)
2) AEM Intake (Short RAM or CAI)
3) By now you are getting used to the good handling so that it only feels "normal" so time for the Springs (Eibach or CompTech).
4) By now the extra kick from the intake has worn off so its time for the CompTech headers
5) About now your stock shocks are dieing so its time give your suspension a little boost with some Koni Yellows or Tokico Illuminas.
6) By now the headers are getting old so its time for some AEM Pulleys.
7) Now your tires are damn near bald so its time to hook up some nice Bridgestone RE730's or Kumho's if you are on a budget.
8) About now your stock platinum plugs are already sucking hind tit, so time for Denso Iridiums.
9) At this point you've done almost every cost effective mod, so time to make some noise and get a CompTech axle back or Mugen exhaust.
10) Ahh, now that every damn bolt-on has been done, time to make the most of it with either an Apexi V-AFC or Racer's Group UniChip formally known as the "The PROgram".
For the not so bolt on oriented, I would considered a bored throttle body before performing step number 10. Oh yea... and lets not forget the "phantom" cam shafts.
Hehehe, hope Tim doesn't see that one.

I'd pay to see this:
the day a guy goes to pick up his car...as soon as all the papers are signed and the dealer hands him the keys, he walks outside, grabs a screwdriver, gets on his back, and changes out the road lamps.
that should be a mod acura does for you before selling the car! at least with 16w clear bulbs if you want a more REAL light look rather than the piss poor "I got map lights on the outside of my car" look.

Man - that reminds me. I saw a SWEET blue TLS outside of the Hooters on Kirmkan in Orlando... made me want one. BAD. 
I've only had mine for a year though.
