Depends on the lip you get...

What about window tint or a drop in filter?

You might want to post a budget. Inexpensive can mean a lot to different people with different means. Are we talking <$100? <$200?

Cosmetic mods and how cheap? I would say OEM style diffuser from eBay or clear side markers (get genuine, not helix).

make sure you don't pay $350 for a lip that has "style" in it.

I'd go with a tune. It can be as low as $200 for a used unichip or at your high end of $400ish for a used OFT. Both will transform your car from stock.
