Need opinions...

I don't know if this kind of thread gets old after a while... but anyway:

After the my turbo **** gets done this week, I will have $1000 left over that was put aside just in case I run into any problems. I don't really need anything else for a turbo except internals. Fuel system is most likely being converted too... So what should I do with the extra money? It's not about saving, I have savings accounts... this is for the car.

Complete MODS to date:

2002 SSM Honda Civic LX coupe

Turbonetics T3/T04B
Stafford Fabrications Manifold
GReddy Type-S BOV
GReddy E-manage
GReddy PRofec e-01 boost controller/data logger
GReddy Full Auto Timer
TiAL 35mm Wastegate .3BAR
Autometer Pillar Pod
Autometer Ultra-Lite Boost Gauge
Autometer Ultra-Lite A/F Gauge
Autometer Ultra-Lite Oil Temperature Gauge
Autometer Pro-Shift Lite
Pruven Downpipe (Mandrel Bent)
Pruven IC Piping (Tig Welded Mandrel Bent Mild Steel, Powdercoated)
Spearco FMIC Core (Bar and Plate)
ACT HD Clutch Kit (Organic Street Performance Disk)
Random Technology Hi-Flow Cat
HPR Cat-Back Exhaust
Injen SRI (for sale)
GReddy Iridium Plugs
17" Enkei RS-6
Yokohama Parada Spec2's
OEM Cleared Headlights
Painted Fuse box cover
Painted Spark Plug Cover
OEM Factory Spoiler
20% Tint all around
Clarion Pro-Audio w/ CD-Changer

I'm trying to decide whether I should go for some show (Body Kit), or just stick with performance (springs/shocks) or internals, or go for a sound system or what. Just looking for some opinions on what you'd do with $1000 really. Thanks

-Alex
