Question Suggested Mods for '08 Lancer

Hi, i just bought a 2008 Lancer and i was wondering if anyone could provide me with a suggested list of mods that would probably fit the budget of a kid in highschool. This is what i had in mind, it'll probably run me high at ~4,000-5,000

-Apex'i N1 muffler and exhaust (a guy from youtube said he'll get it to me cheap)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JuGvtnPAaZw
-Road Race Motorsports Short Ram Intake
-Drag DR-8 18" Rims
-Either Extreme Dimensions or Accolaide Body Kit (the ones for ~$500-700)
-Road Race Motorsports Aluminum Pulley
-Road Race Motorsports Windshield Banner
-Road Race Motorsports CVT ECU Piggyback
-Some paint fx from House of Kolor maybe
-Apex'i decal

any help would be greatly appreciated

save your money on the body kit and get a full header back exhaust (Injen's should cost about as much as your body kit). Also instead of a piggy back, id recommend getting a header from RRM. Everything else looks good.

or you could save all that money, and save for a little while longer and get a turbo kit from RRM. I've been saving every little extra strap of cash since last June and I'm not even close to saving enough for the turbo. I might try to get a third job to get it, but I don't have any time as it is to have 2 jobs. Moral of the story is, dream big, hope for the best. Even if u phail, your a winner. (lol i wish, then i would have a turbo)

I would probably start with rims, tires, tint, maybe stereo and then save up until the warranty expires. After its expired I would go crazy on the engine and you should have plenty of options by then. I, myself, might be in an 08 gts within a couple of months.
