Default Need advice!

whatup, i just purchased a 2001 Acura Integra GS and was wondering what I should do to it first. Its mostly stock, its already lowered, and i just put some Rota slips on there. My graduation is coming up so i'll have atleast $500 to mess around with. Was wondering, what should i do first to the car? Im new to the scene so I dont really know much, so any help would be appreciated.

*edit* its a 4dr and im going for the sleeper look

You should have tried to get a 2 door, but if you like the 4 door look just make it look nice. save up your extra money and modify an older 2 door.

It all depends on what you want out of the car. Do you want a sleeper look? Clean and not really fast? Clean and fast? Just fast? $500 won't get much, but it's a start.

Make it handle and stop better before you make it go fast.
