I know that Harada (antenna company) makes an internal antenna that works pretty well (I've owned one before) I dunno what the part number is but it should be avialable through your local stereo store. I think cost on it was around $10 or $15 so don't pay more than $30 for it. Once again it works pretty well... I had it on another vehicle I'd owned previous with a shaved antenna.

To get rid of your door handles you'll need a solenoid and some type of remote control system (I'd recommend just buying an alarm) as far as the body work I wouldn't try and replicate that tight S14 line on your first pass at body work. Any quasi-custom body shop should do it for you for under $500. (hopefully way less) (of course assuming primer finish)

don't forget the actuators and door poppers that cost around 250 per side, and if the battery dies you're assed out.

illegal b/c if you get into an accident there will be no way to open the door. kinda the same thing with racing harness, they wont be able to cut through it.

rims, paint, etc can be unique. if you get a set of quality rims, you will be pretty unique b/c most ppl out there run pos knock offs garage. ****ty paint sucks also..

oh yea.. shaving door handles is gay.. all it does is add weight and its for looks. jus keep your stock door handles. if you wanna do something to do, paint them and make them look pretty. i dont get it, lately i've seen a lot of 96-00 civics with the trunk portion shaved where part of the tails are suppose to go. wtf is the point of that? to make it look like a bimmer?
