Default Mods: where to start?

So right now my xA is stock and I've got a decent plan for what I'm going to do with it. I'm just not sure where to start.
Here's a list of what I have planned. Tell me what you think I should start with

OEM Wing
Wheels
CF Hood
CF Front Lip
CF Door pillars (maybe)
TRD lowering springs
TRD exhaust
iPod integration

why not pay less for the TRD springs then? I've ridden in another xa with them and i think the ride feels perfect.

When it comes to the wheels always best to wait until the current ones actually need to be replaced that way you get your money out of them, or wait until they're pretty close and use them for spares. In my opinion, I'd do the actual performance stuff first, like exhaust, that way you get the performance first and leave the ascetic stuff for last like the wing and pillars, they're just for looks, you get nothing from them. I can't really recommend the TRD exhaust though because it's expensive, I have it because I have a relative that works for Toyota and got me a discount. It does sound good though, its kind of like a low growl, instead of those crappy high pitched coffee cans. I can't stand them. I raced an xB a while ago that had a coffee can, I honestly don't know how anybody likes that cheap sound.

Do you have the TRD struts and shocks? Some day I want better suspension but I don't want my lowered due to the fact that my bumper would get damaged from being that low. Do you know if they would be good at the stock height?
