i have only one modification and its a stainless 4-1 DC header
i was thinking to get a CF hood, thats about 350-400
what should i get. CF hood, AEM CAI, new tires Kumhos 712s or azenis??

HID was the best thing other then the Honda widow visors I have put on the car.
I could not beleive that I drove around for 3.5 years with those crap ass stock headlights
Pick up a good hid kit thats plug and play and you'll never regret it.
as for power mods... I guess the oem jdm 4-1 (with heat sheild) smsp test pipe and bottle neck adapter was the most usable and noticable power mod yet. and the price was just around 500 maybe a bit more.
If I were you I'd save some money and get a used HID kit, and spend the rest on going to a HPDE. now thats were you will learn to make the car faster

I would say to get a cat-back exhaust, considering you have headers already. Depending on what your intentions are with the car, would save up and beef up the handling next...it is a ITR afterall.

If you've narrowed down your selections to those listed, my choice for recommendation would be the Azenis.
The CF hood is really a cosmetic item, at least on my ITR, because I can't feel any performance gain, other than a lightened wallet. I have a Icebox, not a AEM, but again, not much more than an aural improvement, or detriment, based upon your perspective.
I've had both the Kumhos and Azenis (in different sizes), but the Azenis are a fun tire, that you can use to baseline all of your future suspension upgrades.
