Hello and welcome. Should post intro in intro thread, lol.

I'm a Gen2 so I can't shine as much insight, sorry.

Springs and wheels. DONE

welcome!!!

[unbalancedwood]

Tein springs & Tokico struts [drop it]
Tint [35-20%]
Aquire some stock 16" rims if you dont have them or keep an eye out for the Gen2 17"
Stereo if its your liking
...then done

If you want to put some more into it
CPE intake, Rear Sway Bar (RSB), try to find a supercharger at around $2k, coilovers instead of springs and struts, rims, Kamanari or TRD lip kit, and etc etc.

You could create a money pit...last semester college right here.

Heres mine minus a few new upgrades i havent put pictures up of

Does gen 1-1.5 not have any "List of Aftermarket Upgrades" sticky like the Gen 2 forum? Was looking to post a link, but didn't find one.
