Depends on what you want from the car. Looks? Performance? Handling? Does it need maintenance? Here's a few ideas.

Handling - spring & shock combo, coil sleeve & shock combo, or full coilovers. Add a thicker rear sway bar, and a TL/CL strut bar.

Looks - suspension also makes a huge difference in this area. Combine that with a lip kit and some small cosmetic stuff like tinted windows and painted headlight housings.

Performance - transmission swap. $1200 should cover a big chunk of that, might need a little more on top.

Save up over time for wheels.

Thanks so far guys. Sorry I just passed my probation period of not posting any pics so now I can upload some. Im keeping it on the simple side and not trying to go all out. So far the FF1 Coilovers are going to be on my list, one of you suggested OEM Acura wheels and that was actually what I was thinking(Either the 5 spoke or the crazy VW looking ones). Thanks Again
