If you had $1,500 to spend in your car, what would you buy?

I need some ideas in what to buy with some extra money that i am getting. I was thinking of buying, HFP aero kit ($1003 shipped), Greedy Tic (519) and then with some money that i already have saved up i could buy the springs and CAI. What do you guys think about that. By the way i dont have any mods in the car at the moment. I drive 06 Si, HBR.

HFP (aero kit) Looks
Greedy (cat back) performance
CAI (Injen) performance
Springs (Skunk2) Looks/driving

is this a one shot deal of 1500? or will you regularly have disposable income for mods?

I'd blow it all on my suspension. Tein Flex or something along those lines with the camber kit in the rear.. Handling is the most important improvement imo.

Or, if you got a light weight wheel and stickier tire package, it would improve handling a lot and acceleration a little.

Why are some of you saying reflash?? The reflash will have minimal effect on his car since its bone stock. I'd say you gotta do the I/H/E first before the reflash, or atleast 2/3 of those.

Lip kit + drop is what I'd aim at.
