Default Please help...need help deciding what to do with my car....

About a month ago somebody hit my car at work. So now that my car is in the body shop I've decided that it is time to change the look of the car a bit. My car is a 2001 silverstone with the oem hardtop. I love the way the car looks with the hardtop but since I live in LA during the summer I take the hardtop off only because it gets so hot and there's nothing like running around topless - right? So here is my dilemna, my car is completely stock, the only addition being the hardtop. I have a budget of about $1000 to spend on the car on upgrades. When this thing happened I was so set on just getting the Mugen 3 piece spoiler, which is about $650 and then another $300 to get it painted and installed. Then I started seeing pics of what the car looks like with the spoiler on with stock wheels and such and I didn't really like the look. For some reason or another the car just needs the Mugen wheels or similar to complement the Mugen rear spoiler, otherwise the car looks strange - so I think. So, should I just get the oem front and rear spoiler to go with the hardtop I already have or should I just go for the wing, and then at some point down the road just get the rims - or what? I am so torn as to what I should do. It would be several months before I could even look at rims and that is my worry. I am worried of what the car will look like with the Mugen spoiler only. My ideal set up would be getting the Mugen rear spoiler, oem front spoiler and the mugen wheels, but I just can't do it all right now. But if I coughed up some more money (I don't know how though) I could get the mugen rear spoiler painted and installed and come up with the money to just get the oem spoiler, but that would be the best I could do right now and for a while. The worst case scenario is that I could just end up with the Mugen spoiler and no front spoiler and not happy with that look. If only someone out there could do me a favor and please photoshop the s2000 with the oem hardtop, stock wheels and oem lip, then i know what I'll be looking at. I'll finally be ablt to get some sleep. But then again if don't get the Mugen spoiler I might always regret not getting it, and I am sure you all know that story. So, please help me decide what to do. I appreciate any comments or suggestions and pictures would greatly help me. And before I get flamed, I've searched on this site for pictures but have yet to see the right combos of the car in my color. Thanks again.

hey the stock ground kit looks tight,but costly. for the font lip RM Raceing makes
pretty good looking front-chin spoiler just under 150 bucks. check it out
www.rmrace.com as for the rear spoiler, i don't know man. remember all show
no go, i think money dumped into performans is a better way to go like springs,
lighter wheels, X-Brace,and maybe supercharger. hey just my opinion, you
could leave it stock and it's still a PHAT ride. after all it is a s2000
