And please, don't give me any crap like "I'd sell it!" or "paint it a new color" or "take off that butt-ugly fin" no bs like that. I'm looking for the best things to do for my car. the cheaper the better, but quality does count. and cosmetics are slightly more important to me than power. But I want to hear from the community: what would you do?
Here's a pic to help:

Well, for $1k you have a very good window of options. You say you are into the visual, more than sped wise. This is what I would do, if I were in your shoes.
First, I would look into maybe geting it lowered down a bit. Now I know you still have the stock wheels on, but with a slightly lower stance, it will look a little better overall. Next, i would work on getting the black door trim, painted to match the body color. If the bottom side skirts come off, I would maybe try to get them color matched also. I think Honduh should have painted those in the first place, it would make them look alot nicer. Next I would move to the emblems. I would remove all of them, and fix any blemishes accordingly. I would leave the lighting how it is (no clear corners, clear taillights, etc.) Then, I would move onto maybe a front lip for the bumper. These are relativly inexpensive, and can be found under $200 easy. Thats about all I would do for the visual. I would then move onto the performance side. I would look into getting a intake. I would probably go for a Warm Air Intake, as they will be cheaper, and easier to install. Then I would go for maybe a Header, with a mild exhaust. Nothing to big, and flashy. But with all that, i would think you would come out close, or under $1k.
