Default Where should I start?

I've had a 2011 Cement tC for a while now (a year and a half) and I haven't even touched it. But I've never owned a car worth modding, my first car was a cheap fleet 2001 Nissan Frontier and then my next was a 1993 Ford Explorer. While I love this car, I've really had a craving to make it mine...make it better. Where should I start?

I'm looking for a few cosmetic changes to make it look a little bit edgier, stand out more, little sportier, edgier but not rice it out. Then performance, just a little. I do like the exhaust, I'm not sure I want to replace it. I really don't want to spend too much, I'm thinking about $500-700 max. I just have no clue where to start and the net hasn't helped.

If its a manual, I'd say TWM shift cable and base bushings. Those make a big difference for about 50-60 bucks. Also, you could go crazy with plastidip, wheels, bumper, etc.
Cold air intake, window tint. Any of those are fairly cheap
