Alright well, lowering sounds expensive, which means I would probably have to spend my limit, so that is all I could do to it.

Anyone else have any suggestions on what to blow my money on?

what are you talking about TJCCARDCO about how the Apex-i's aren't adjustable, unless that was just a typo. All full coilovers are adjustable, as well as sleeve coilovers, hence the name coilovers.
Apex WS is height adjustable only, where as Teins are both height and damping adjustable. That was no typo there from him. Yes all coilovers are height-adjustable. But there are two types of coilovers: coilover sleeves and full coilovers. Coilover sleeves are only spings w/ adjustable sleeves, where as on the other hand, the full coilovers contain shocks inside them.

Randumb, I will still suggest you to put your $$ into a nice suspension system. This will help in a long run and is much more meaningful than most bolt-on's because you will feel the power being transfered to your wheels are much stronger. You won't regret it, trust me. I recently posted a thread about bolt-on's you can go check it out:

However, if you want to go with something cheaper I would suggest the H&R cup kit. Check out their website for more info:
http://www.hrsprings.com H&R is also a very well-known company, most (maybe all) of its products are made in Germany. I am pretty sure you'll recognize its name in near future. Speeddriven.com had cup kit on Groupbuycenter.com for $610 my 5th gen Accords. I am not sure if it's damping adjustable, but sure is height adjustable. Don't go with H&R full coilover kits, they cost 1000+ even if u get it thru speeddriven. IF that's the case you might as well go with Teins, they are the best I've heard so far, and most popular in Japan.

Nice muffler or catback system. Also a generic intake or just take out ur resonator and get a K&N filter. Whatever you do, just don't be another ricer.

I wasn't really looking for performance mods though. My car drives great for me, and I don't race or anything, so I'm straight on that. Plus I really don't see the point of adding performance mods to an automatic

I just want to make it look as good as possible (inside and outside) with what money I have left to spend. You say the $$$ would be best spent on suspension, which I agree would help it looks, but that would be the only thing I could do to it for a while. Do you think that would be the best thing to do for it?

btw, i am NOT going to just be another "ricer". I can't stand those "too hooked up" cars. If I got a spoiler, I'd make it a factory spoiler, screw those big ass wings. No stickers, bodykit, giant muffler, etc. I'm going for a more "classy" look for my car. Not something that will stand out too much. The only body kit type thing I would get is probably a Type-R Grill (which is only like $50-75).

Word.

I am glad that you've got a good taste Yes classy is good because you'll always be in style. BTW I have an auto not a stick I know how you feel. If you want typeR grill you can check out Cryogen's page of how to's...http://www.andrews.edu/~johnsonm/ That will save you lots of $$. Sorry I was blind 'n didn't see that you've got some intake mod going... have fun...

Make black housing headlights, make Type-R Grill, Clear Amber out of tail lights. Cheap mods - cool lookin' mods. Still got money left to save for rims/drop.

Yeah I was thinking about the black housing headlights. But I don't know how easy that would be to do, nor how it would look on my (lighter-colored) car.

I'm taking out the amber from the tail lights this weekend. I dunno about this "making" stuff either. I just got into all this, so I'm new to the scene and don't have any experience with any of it.
