I think what turns peoples eyes is more of not over doing it. Make your car something clean, with clean lines. personalize it without straying too much from the stock look.
Moreover, just build something out of your car that YOU are proud of.

It's all about what she likes and will be happy driving. Ask her if she'll like the look after 5 years of daily driving. Most folks who are into cars respect a well done car, even if it isn't their style. That means it's got to be something you'll like day after day.

The budget would really depend on what you have to start with, since you will be purchasing it used. Keep that in mind and try to find a ride that someone has already invested time and $$ into the following:
Wheels/Tires...biggest visual upgrade that can be done imo.
Exhaust upgrades...biggest audio upgrade.
Tinted windows...as stated before, a must!
Aftermarket body panels and kits...just dropped $225 on a chin spoiler myself.
Stripe kits
If you want to start with a clean slate (all stock), I would budget say $2500-3000 to get her up to speed. But once the bug has got you, there will be no need for a budget...just a second job to pay for it all.
2008GT Vapor silver aka Venessa
Brenspeed tuned
18" DDB's 255/295
Pypes Violator AB mufflers
Tci shifter
Sony xav-60
Sequential turns

Several of my cars have done that heck my red 06 caused a georgia state trooper to come within inches of slamming into the back of a m5 on the freeway coming home from work one day. You know you have a bada** car when the cops come up to you and give you the nod wave or thumbs up
