$4000 to Spend
Well i'm here and iraq saving the money and made a deal with the wife, since i'm here doing what i'm doing, her and i agreed that i could spend $4000 dollars on anything on the car. i have been dreaming of all kinds of things that i would want to do but i just wanna know what you guys would do. Also i just wanted to go N/A. i know supercharging would be the best but i think its going to cost more than $4000. Please help me out because i know for a fact that when i only have about 1 week left here, i'm going to start ordering everything so when i get home all i gotta do is the installations. Any opinions??? 
This is what I had in mind.
T1R 70mm Single Outlet With Testpipe = $1200
AEM Cold Air Intake = $250
Gears And Installation = $1000
Apexi VFAC = $250
Powercoat My AP1's Black w/Red Lip = $300
Carbon Fiber Hood (OEM) = $500
Carbon Fiber Trunk = $500
Thats About $4000 There....What do you guys think?

if you wanna keep the stock wheels then 4k will go a long way
gears $1200
exhaust 800-1000 for a good system.
race seat... this is the best mod i did for my car, puts you in control of the car.
suspension. the sky is the limit, from springs for a few $100 to full race setup for thousands.
if you want to get wheels then get the wheels and then gears and exhaust (well thats what i would do at least)
WFIW, i started out with the intention of spending $5000 on my car, and i just looked at my mod list and im a little past that.
the most important thing is to DO YOUR HOMEWORK and find out what you want before you buy something. i have made that mistake on a few items and ended up "doing it right the 2nd time" which hurt. run lots of searches and you will learn alot of incidental stuff along the way too. make a pro and con list of every mod (there is a con to every mod that i can think of)
