1. springs. h&r are good quality. your stock shocks will handle them, but you may want to upgrade to something a little sportier down the line. i think you can pick up a set of kyb agx for $350ish new? you'd be really happy with those.
2. amber corners.
3. leave the stock tails if you go amber. get red/clear if you get clear corners. edit: but don't get clear corners unless you're trying to bring '98 back.
4. start off by removing the stock resonator. my car didn't have one, but i know of two old accords that did. it should be a tube coming off the airbox that goes in to a big plastic canister. will give you a slightly better throttle response, maybe 1/2 an hp, and will give you a nice tone.
5. exhaust. don't bother with a full one since you said you're cheap. pick up a magnaflow oval, get it tacked on there, call it a day.
6. no more performance mods. you'd be wasting money trying to polish a serious turd.
7. honda badges are like $10/ea from majestic: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/">http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/</a><!-- m -->
