Graduation Money ... and my car

ok so i got a good 500 bucks set aside from the money i got from graduation to spend on my car. Here is what im thinking on doing.....

RS Grill
JDM Gunmetal Housed Headlights
Neuspeed Strut Bar
Indiglo Gauges
PlasmaBOOSTER (?)

Ok so im pretty new at this whole car thing. I JUST started modding on cars so if my selection is a bit off then dont hate on me.

http://www.cardomain.com/id/xgodxicex if you want to see my ride and what i need

And im pretty novice on modding, so how 'hard' is it to do the indiglo gauges? i saw the DIY and it looks easy enough, but ive never done any wiring jobs or anything, so would i run into problems? and what are the chances of me screwing something up? thanks a lot for your help guys

IMO the RS grill isn't that good, and Plasma Booster would be a waste of $$$. They are damn near $500 just for them. The others are good choices.

why dont u think the RS grill is 'good'? ... i was thinking it was very pretty nice looking, plus ebay has them for ~30 bucks so that isn't a bad price either .... what would u suggest for a grill then?

And i just checked the price for the plasmabooster ... i read somewhere that they were around 100 bucks...but i guess they meant for one lol....they are 480 bucks for a set!!

Don't get the RS grill........get the Altezza grill. PlasmaBoosters are a waste of money.

ok so instead of RS ill go altezza ... and how about a ss?

i was thinking the neuspeed one but i dont wanna be drilling into my rod, because i think the directions say i have to drill into something. So ill have to find one that doesn't need drilling, probably the one in the DIY

A bushing goes on the Shifter assembly. Stock shifters have rubber bushings that allow the assembly to be weak and move around. With metal bushings it makes that assembly stay still with no room to move. This results in a more solid shift from gear to gear.
