It matters if you would rather have performance first, looks, or a big ass sound system.

I personally would go with looks first such as tinted windows, springs (this is performance too), wood trim, lights, wing, steering wheel, shift knob, and maybe rims.

I got mine in this order so far...

1) tint- for looks and to protect the leather
2) Alpine CD Changer- cheaper than dealer price, gotta have my tunes!
3) springs- to improve the handling
4) Inspire tail lights - For looks, just because i wanted the car to be a bit different.
5) wheels and tires - to improve handling and braking (Stock tires leave a bit to be desired so if you like the stock rims, at least get new tires)
6) Crossdrilled rotors and Metal Master Brake pads- to improve stopping power significantly.
--I think the performance related mods should come after you feel like you want to improve the drive, but the appearance mods you can do right away if you want to be different.
You're call, congrats on the new car and welcome to the family!

I agree with yu888. Tint the windows first. Looks cool and helps protect the leather. That was the first mod I did to my car... wait, that was the only mod I did.
