New speakers definitely give you the most bang for the buck.

Been there done that. I have all my mods listed on my signature.
I didn't see it. I have signatures turned off most of the time. Helps pages load faster.
What about interior accent lighting? Can be done relatively cheap.

Good input. I already got a new head unit. Its a Clarion doubledin w/ ipod interface. I should add that to my signature.
Keep the opinions coming!

I just put in LED domes, are you talking about LEDs on the floor or roof etc?
I have under dash lights in the floor area. I was thinking of adding lights about the small shelves in the dash as well.

I've been ordering stuff from them for the past two weeks. It's addicting. Replace everything with LEDS!!! It's so much fun. I think I spent $18.00 and shipping took two days, and I got two dome lights, 2 map lights, 5 gauge cluster lights and the 3 lights for the AC controls. Not bad at all.
Or you can cover all the plastic interior panels with a really nice Seude fabric or Tweed, or you can Buy some Wetokole seat covers, you can do a lot with $200. My biggest sponsor of doing stuff is ACe Harware... I've made gauge clusters, light pods, anything. They also give me free stuff from time to time since I used to work there. Only place I can get 3" of 2" PVC for free. I like to go to harware stores and think of mods first.
OH! Another one I did on my CRV, from Home Depot, it costs about $10.99. Look in the garage door moulding section. It's a roll of black rubbery-plastic meant to seal the bottom of the door. It is in a "L" shape, and I used it to make a "lip" on the front bumper of my car. Don't know if that interests you, but it came out great:
It's that lowest bit on my bumper in my signature. It sticks out a little too. Looks pretty legit, except I won't get upset If it hits something. It's soft.

Shipping was about $4.00. Each map light was $1.80 and each dome light was $3.00. The gauge lights were $0.98 each.
are you sure you got it from SUPERBRIGHTLEDS and not SUPERBRIGHTLED?
The one with the S is where I got mine, and yes, they are different.

Mine might not have been as high powered, it was only about $3.50 or something. It's not super bright, but brighter than the original hazed out dome light.

It's like daylight in my E. lol, I am still reading reviews on the speakers. Most people say they would only get the reference's if you were planning on getting a sub too. I dont want a sub, at least not yet. I dunno, decisions decisions.
The way I've always done it is to get Coax's in the front, new tweeters, and 3-ways in the back seat. It sounds good even without a sub, but once you have the 3 ways-in the back you lose the bass, so I'd rig up something else in the back, like say, some 6X9's or as big a speaker you can fit in there.

Maybe you like the sound of that,but usually most prefer to simply install seperates/tweeters & mids up front and then some coaxials in the back/rear doors.
Then later on if you decide to install a sub,you'll end up with a pretty well rounded/sounding system.The problem with mine, is I often carry people in the back seat, and I used to always hear "what are we listening to?" because all they heard was bass (running a huge subwoofer) so if you carry people in the back seat they appreciate some range back there, if not, then yeah, stick to the coax.Maybe you like the sound of that,but usually most prefer to simply install seperates/tweeters & mids up front and then some coaxials in the back/rear doors.
