You turn to mod my car!

I pretty much have what I want to do mapped out. I figure there's someone that has better or different ideas than me. I have a 2001 black lx, 5 speed. So far I have installed magnaflow exhaust, revo short shifter, kumosport bushings, and AEM CAI. It's been awhile since I last mod my car, about 2 months. I don't want to spend any more than $200. So here's my choices I've come up with:

El-Glo reverse indiglo gauges
strut bars
2002 ex console
DIY painted interior, silver + neon tubes

I'm looking for a good bang for the buck. If you guys like the above, which one is the best? Any other ideas?

go with the best free mod and clear your headlights. painting your interior shouldnt run you over 10 dollars for all the paint. So i'd to that then top it off with the gauges

Gauges, DIY Paint, and Neuspeed Strut Bar. I think that should be right around $200 for all that.

peditro: model paint works really good

does the 2002 center console (around the shifter and the cup holders) fit right in a 2001 ex coupe?

I am pretty sure the console fits. I don't remember the thread for it but I do remember that you have to take out that bottom peice where the cigarette lighter is and re-wire it to the 2002 console. The whole deal cost about $200 flat.

Most people use plasti-kote paint that you can get a pep boys. Can someone point me to the DIY on removing the peices so I can paint them? Isn't there a DIY posted around here somewhere?

I was leaning towards the strut bars, painted interior and indiglo gauges myself, and maybe even a new shift boot and ****.

gauges, diy paint/tubes, forget the dc bar and get the rsx antisway bar, way cheaper!

I bought the paint today from Pep Boys. Cost me $11.10. All I have to do now is take off my peices, clean them, and let the transformation begin. Finding the DIY post would be a start....

The RSX sway bar is only for EX's, or so I've heard. Correct me if I'm wrong.
