Sedan or wagon?

Easy stuff is grill replacement and addition of a front lip, and you can also add different stuff to the rear depending on your shape.
Headlights are a good mod too, but you can do as much or as little as you like.
Wheels are a personal preference, but IMO, get some coilovers - that way you get a good ride, and you can lose some altitude, which helps with looks dramatically.
Have a look through the GenV build threads for different options (mine is in my sig).

At the end of the day, it comes down to two key things: (i) personal preference and the type of 'look' you are looking for, and (ii) your budget - set yourself a budget/limit, otherwise beware its a slippery slope

One of the best bits about mods is you get to design and research the look YOU want.... and that includes a bit of planning (very important), otherwise if you just add and add and add, you could end up with a bit of a mess (and a hole in your wallet)

To help you with point (i), some useful links:
