I'd vote Plasti dip your wheels and/or fog lights if they're your thing. Some of the Ebay front lips are really tempting, but adding in cost of paint bumps it way up. PERSONALLY, I always try to decide on which mod will make me the happiest. For Christmas I'm asking for "ahem" either a catless resonated front pipe or a quality HID kit+LED exterior kit. The other deciding factor for gifts (for me) is usually "which thing am I least likely to pull the trigger on myself but still really want." Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the advice but guys I have the clear sidemarkers already lol! I didn't think about the catless front pipe. I guess Ill see how loud the Greddy is and then maybe that will be added to the list if I think I need more volume...doubt it, but maybe. I would also leave the front lip in that satin black plastic color. I see no need to color match the lip, diffuser, and side skirts unless theyre actually a real body kit. Also color changing the big dash panel was a good idea too. thanks for that. I love small mods

Get this pulley set: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ptd/4154520310.html

I own it (bought off ebay for $185) and think its an absolute steal for the money. Quality is great and I have been completely happy with it.

It does have some pretty gnarly drone if you're just cruising down the interstate, but I have a completely separate car for road trips so...

Edit: I also just did an inlet hose swap/sound tube delete with a Perrin inlet hose and the drone is not nearly as bad now FWIW.
