Seems like you are focusing on the looks of the car more than performance! Lowering springs will be my pick!

the yellow fogs cost 30 and by far is the cheaper. you might as well get those done quickly then save up for others

springs before wheels so you can see what tires and offset to get . plus dropping = 10x better looks

Performance is on the list, but not much you can do performance wise to the 1.8L engines right? I mean a CAI and maybe a reprogramming of the throttle response.

performance it is always good but as you said 1.8L engines, not much that can be done, but in my opinion you should go with fog first and does you car have spoiler?! if it doesn't i don't know they look cool and maybe that another good idea, but if you do have it then go with the fog and then consider lowering your springs

I recommend the nokya yellow fogs, look, work great. For springs I would recommend Tein H or S techs. I think the altis grill and a subtle trunk lip spoiler would look good on an xle.

Skip the (trunk) spoiler. The sole reason why I did not go with S. Rear roof spoiler, on the other hand, looks pretty awesome!

If I end up doing the fog first only because it would be the cheapest out of the two, this is the set of fogs I am looking at:

Spyder Fog Lights

Putco Yellow Bulbs
