What Should I do?

Ok. well i will have about 500$ next friday and I don't know what to do.

1. I can get neuspeed race springs and the spc camber kit
2. Short Shifter and also buy a momo racing shift **** and momo pedals and might be able to get my car tinted
3. Pre Order my Hp Racing Header from Euroticelectronics.com which they claim fits properly and comes with the o2 simulator but they told me it would be a couple of weeks until it comes out(which could end up being like months)
4. Buy the a Hp Header that is available to me right now w/o the o2 simulator and has fitting problems
5. Or save my money a little more and buy the kaminari lip kit. my ride isnt lowered or anything so the kit would look kinda weird because my car isn't lowered, so the kit would just sit in my room until I get my springs and rims by next year. (around tax returns)

Get MOMO pedals and the ****/boot setup. The ***** are far more comfortable than stock, and the pedals look good. Just make sure you get M4x35 Machine screws for the gas pedal, the ones that come with the pedals are too short to go through the plastic pedal, use the supplied nuts. Get the MOMO Performance boot, it screws into the bottom of the **** seemlessly (I'll take a pic when I get home), the only thing is you have to do some surgery on the boot to get it to fit in the car (not hard, just some cutting involved). That should only run you about $160 or so, then the short shifter, Kumosport Bushings, and a tint... Sounds like well spent cash to me.

Agreed. Then you'll be ready for the more serious mods.
If not this, then get the Neuspeed springs and camber kit.

#1 all the way. All the other ones aren't going to help you much, or just don't give a dramatic change in your car as does springs and camber kit

#2 - Eye candy, but suspension's more important. Plus a drop's more noticable

#3, 4 - Header's won't improve performance much.

#5 - Kit would look weird if its not lowered. If you're not going to use the lip till after u get the springs might as well get springs first.
