I can't pin down a favorite because they all are simply steps to achieve an overall package of looks/sound/performance. The sum of the parts together is greater than the parts themselves. (I think that's about how the phrase goes)
The CS/Boss lower fascia and splitter and saleen front grille seemed to make the biggest impact visually and added a more aggressive yet cleaner look but the suspension bits completely transformed the way the car felt and put power down. Then again, the GT500 mufflers really made the car sound like a real muscle car and the JL audio front speakers took the audio quality to the next level.
So they all had their individual roles that I can't really play a favorite with but if you base it simply on comments from others, the fascia/splitter/grille is what got people's attention.
Without the suspension, the rake and stance of the car wouldn't look right and it would diminish the appearance of the cosmetic work and without the exhaust work, the car would be too quiet and wouldn't sound mean and match the aggressive look of the car.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents. The one thing I haven't had to mess with is the power. For me (as a daily driver) the car is fast as **** already so that's the one thing that I feel like I haven't had to change.
Le shameless plug

thanks. It's over due for a clay/polish/acrylic detailing job. I've been procrastinating. I can tell it needs it. Once I do that I'm going to try and find a local car photographer to get some proper shots of the car done up.

Considering mine is only a few weeks old, my best mod so far, the one that really brings up the value of the car instantaneously, the girl in the passenger seat. 
lol
I'll do a CAI/Tune soon though.
