You can do alot of minor stuff here and there with $500.. but $500 disappears in an instant once you start listing things off.

Get the motordyne spacers.. don't forget the ISO thermal though!

Get those nice chrome pillars to cover the black ones hahah ($40-50).. then replace the major interior lights or whichever ones you want with LEDs($40).

I'd think about the projectors, but that's pretty pricey. Then again the OEM HID headlights for my 03 Sedan suck donkey *****.

I'd spend my $500 on springs first and then use whatever is left for cleaning supplies.
That's just me since I already have a money pit sitting in the garage...
BTW, any suggestions for sway bars?

Platelock I think a lot of us are of the opinion that if it were a Honda Civic, one could buy a lot of crap mods for it and it would be acceptable.

The difference is the G is a little more upscale, and as a result if mods aren't tastefully done (which requires $$$), they really detract from the impact the car already has.

Take your time.

1) Invest it in a small cap.
2) Take out a loan
3) buy a nicer car
4) Pay off your loan

I'd say get a set or ART pipes. I just found out they are $459 shipped to my door. Which is one hell of a price. That is from b2autodesigns, they can pay me later for the advertising lol!
