Alright, what should I do with my car...

Ok, I have an 02 Automatic LX. Only mods I've done are vertical doors, black housing headlights, tinted tailights, and upgraded my system. Being auto, I didn't do anything under the hood. I really want a stick! So here's my options:

1.)AT to MT conversion, then k20a2 swap/turbo( or both )
2.)Keep it auto, get rims, lower it, body... pretty much make my car look nice
3.)Try to sell my car for around 10k to 11k and get my self a FD( Rx-7 ).

#1 would cost alot. If I saved up my money and sold my car, I can get myself a nice, decent mileage FD( hopefully for no more than $15k ). So whatdaya guys think? I've always wanted a RX-7....but after much research, I'll have to put some money into the reliabilty part of the FD. A k20a2 would be nice though. Pics of my car are HERE

I don't see what's rice about vertical doors. But I say since it's an automatic, you should just continue to make the car look nice. But you definitely need to do something about that box in the trunk and the rims.

I don't see what's rice about them...but ok. I think I'm gonna sell my vertical door kit to my friend that has a civic. They're just too much of a hassle. Keeping that in mind....what do ya think? So most of you say 1 or 2. If I keep my car, I'm leaning towards #2.
