Building my prospective to-buy mods list, advice welcome!

Basically, I'm just compiling a list of items I would eventually want to get and in no particular order. Also, I don't exactly have the funds to get everything right away, it's just more of a guide for me to space out my funds to see what I can get for the time being...

I'm really very very new to the scene, so any advice, good or bad, is much welcomed! Prices I put are just estimates of what I've seen.
I'm more particular to performance, so if you know of anything in same price range that is better, please do let me know!

Motordyne 1/2" Iso Thermal Spacer $280
AEM Red Polished CAI $280
HKS Hi Power Exhaust $1300
Tein Comfort Sport Coilovers $1400
Camber/Toe Kit $140
MRR GT1 w/ Toyo T1r $1800

Misc Items far down in priority:
Hood shocks $100
Vertical Doors kit $1300
06 Headlamp kit $300
Ings+1 Body Kit $2k or Impul 535CS Urethane Full Body Kit $3500

other performance suggestions or misc mods? i dont think ill go over 3k for any single mod, so no turbo kits for me :-p

Seriously. Any car with Lamborghini style doors instantly loses my credibility.

FYI, those ebay lights are recalled headlights which MAY have issues with the cutoff/alignment, buyer beware
