My suggestion then would be:

Phase 1:
-Drop the car
-Wheels

Phase 2:
-Do-Luck Replica CF Lip (Rexpeed)
-Nose Chop w/ Emblem
-Rexpeed CF Ducts

Phase 3:
-JDM Rear - or - APR CF Diffuser Style (Rexpeed)
-Rexpeed Side Extensions

Hah, I don't have any connections to Rexpeed by the way, I'm just saying them as a cheaper solution to the real JDM goodies. You can even save some more money by hunting around in the private for sale section.

Good luck with your car dude.

The one thing I'd say is keep it somewhat unique if you can. Lots of AS in the NW, lots of AS + CF. Granted, don't do the ricer Honda kit to be extremely unique.

The nose chop is a good idea if you like the look; not as many of those around. I personally think it looks nice, but get a bigger FM to fill it out.

Nose Chop = Making a sturdy plastic bumper into something not so sturdy. Or at least all the ones I've seen after being hit crack really bad. Most that I see are fiber glass patched. But the things people do for looks I guess.
