    I suggest that you start with the more important, performance upgrades first like the shocks, tires and mags.

    IMO, id go for a repaint kung dull na yung color-- wetlook daw ok talaga magrepaint or washover. pm mo is lexter, mas mura yung paint sakanya and recommended ng mga tiskotser. roughly mga 30k - 35k. then sa remaining cash... mags na lang muna na hindi lowered. that can follow na kung may budget na ulit. id say mga 15" lang para mura goma then sell your stock para abot sa pangbili ng new set (not surplus). go to blumentrit para madami choices ng mags. yokohama a520 195/50/15 new set would go about 10k - 11k para sa 4 na yun. hanap ka lang bagay para sa tsikot niyo.

    pero if wala pa rust and ok pa paint, well you can lower it down with tein or h&r then tokico gas type. mga 20k lahat to. kung may matira pa konte... complete detail (interior, exterior, engine).

    kyb shocks are around 1,400 ata. lowering springs mga 8-10k.

    seatcovers you can order from mg square mga 4k yan.

    as for repainting i can refer you to kuya nelson, had my car painted a month ago. cost me around 18k, no regrets.

    dagdag ka konti nalang baka kulangin budget, unahin mo nalang muna parts bago porma

    OT: same problem din sa TS, imo if your car need a repainting then that must be the first kung wala naman problem sa engine and stock lahat.. then sunod ko yung mags and tires(ex: 30k for washover, 15k for tires/mags, 3k for seat cover)..

    depends.

    first, are the tires and suspension in dangerously bad condition? if they are, unahin mo to. safety first.

    second, is the paint in really bad shape? if so, priority dapat to. no sense putting borloloy on kung mukha namang basura yung paint job mo

    assuming ok naman yung stock everything and paint, i would go wheels/tires and suspension first. nothing changes the look of a car more than some nice rims

    thanks guys for the replies, mga sir, ok pa naman yung paint niya pero di naman ganun kagrabe sira yung paint may mga lumulobo lang sa bubong. kung sabagay mas dapat uunahin ko yung ilalim medyo masama na nga. balak ko pagawa shocks(4 gas KYB)at lowering spring(1.5 drop any brand) at sabay ko na engine supports, at bushing(how much pala ito,estimate lang?)at cguro mags at tires kasya na siguro..

    thanks po!

    If gagawin mo yang lahat ng nakalist... hindi kasya ang 50K mo.

    Btw, OEM shocks (like the KYB) + lowering springs are not a good combination... the lifespan of your new shock absorbers will deteriorate faster.

    I'd skip the lowering springs. Get shocks if you need them nalang.

    On a garaged Honda ESi, I'd prioritize this:
    1. Repaint / Rustproof (the roof, that is)
    2. Radiator Hoses and fans (if you haven't used this a long time, yes, replace the hoses)
    3. Shocks, brake resurfacing
    4. Mags / Tires

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
