Cool Can't decide

What's up everyone!
First thing it have to say is DAMN! I love my car. Anyway, I just picked up my car exactly a week ago today, 05' velocity red rx8, 6 spd W/ sport package and DSC.
I want to start with a clean slate which is why I went with no leather, no moon roof, no appearance package just so I don't have to worry about any holes for wings not lining up correctly etc... and since I don't want to make a thread in two seperate forums ( appearance and after market performance ) I figured I would it would be easier to to ask here. So my question is where should I start first? oh and the interior is not really a concern of mine right now, except for that damn silver part along side of the center console that I already put a small scratch in with my seat belt. Back to the main topic, what should come first. Btw i'm holding out for the ms rear wing. P.S i've been looking through the photo section and everyone has some really sweet looking 8's.

I personally would do the performance last, except for exhaust or small things. If you want to go FI then just wait and see there are lots of kits getting ready for release hopefully soon. I guess I would start with looks, I vote for lightweight tires and rims.

I would go with fashion over function!

I would do body kit first (so you can do it in sections), then exhaust, intake, spoiler, and then rims / tires.

If you're looking to do FI, then that changes a few things though...

I always go for things that functional first, in this case the weakest part of a stock RX8 is the tires so those should go first, then better air filters cause it is cheap and easy. Next will be better breaks, then save up and add roll bars, turbo, and shocks together.
