I have money here are the options: PICK please!

Well I got all hyped up for nothing. My wheel package is $1420 and my job sucks so my paycheck wasn't quite what I wanted it to be. Being as it is getting close to winter the wheels are not an option anymore and banking the money is kinda dumb since I wouldn't be able to get wheels till spring and by then hopefully Ill have a better job with more pay to do so. So besides getting my brakes done with new pads and rotors here are my options: Pick one from each category.

Big Items:
-Apexi World Sport Exhaust

-HID kit

Small Options: Can only pick one
-Finish my cold cathode angel eye project (not a priority)

-OEM Fog Light Kit

-Front Strut Bar

-Short Shifter

-LED color change for all interior controls; HVAC, windows, etc.

I would say exhaust. My first mod was projectors then exhaust then body kit and now rims. Starting off small or big it all adds up in the end.

Hmm nice, thanks for the input. I think I might wait on the fog lights since even though I can get them for like $50, I want to have them behind mesh to portect them from damage. Ive heard to many stories of the glass breaking and that would **** me off.

OEM fog light kit costs about the same as if you were to buy short shifter and strut bar.

If I go with a Revo SS do I have to change the shift **** or can I use the same one (stock) and the boot so it clips.

i would say hid kit, but most people tend to spend it seems like nearly a grand on it, but if your comparing it to the exhaust then it cant be that good, do exhaust and short shifter

all that stuff is a waste of money in my opinion. Save up for real car instead of nickle and diming yourself on the civic.

I think Ive decided on the short shift and exhaust.

My buddy has the World Sport on his 04 Si and it sounds tight. Very mellow almost stock at mild driving, you can def. tell its aftermarket though, and when you jam on it, its clean and crsip throughout the band, no rhasp, no rattle.

I had the short shift in my Satty and I loved, so there are the choices, thanks guys. And thanks for the shifter answer.

LOL, I have tints, have projectors (in the process of a project though, so cleared stocks are on)

I can get the brake stuff and the exhaust plus install of brakes (exhaust I will do myself) for $550. Not bad. The exhaust is only $402 shipped from www.titanmotorsports.com

anyone know of a good place and good price for the Revo SS?
