There's all sorts of things that you can do to modify your coupe. The best way to go about doing it is to google the parts your interested in, and report back with the parts and vendor you're considering for feedback from forum members.

I think you should start off with new rims then suspension, preferably coilovers. I have motegi rims with megan racing coils and very impressed with everything so far.

As far as cheap upgrades, id suggest maybe exterior/interior lighting? i don't know what kind of budget you're working with, but i know that HIDS's are a nice touch, and led interior's make it look nice imo. Maybe window tint if your a fan of that? id suggest not going cheap on suspension and wheels. that is a main focus point on a car. Take some time for that and research it, because Coils and Wheels aren't exactly cheap. Hope that helps.

welcome to NICO!

When I had my coupe, one of the mods I enjoyed the most was my Tein lowering springs. They're not terribly expensive if you can install them yourself, but you have to be sure to get an alignment done afterwards or you'll shred your tires.

Other than that, a good intake adds a pronounced growl on the high end of the RPM range and adds a couple horsepower.

If you happen to be one of the lucky ones with a manual V6 coupe, a Racingline Short Throw Shifter is a MUST HAVE for that car.

Have fun!
