What to buy?

I just sold some stuff and I got about 400CAD to spend on my car, but I don't know what I should get. Here are some things I have been thinking of:

Custom Sub and Amp Enclosure
Yellow Inserts Seats and Door Panels
Erebuni Rear Wing
DG CF Side Mirror Covers + Other Goodies
Better Amp
Gauges

Any other bright ideas? I don't know what to get, any help would be appreciated

thanx HKF. if your gonna go custom just make sure you got the right place/people doing it. HiHoSilva did a great how-to on fiberglassing his sub in a P5. Good luck bro and keep us posted.

Someone else with some sense! Go for performance parts! The sound system can wait, and will most likely be more expensive in the end. I wouldn't mind a REALLY good how-to for a clutch/flywheel install

In 24 hours, my money has basically doubled, I'm now supposed to go out to Vancouver...and all hell broke loose when my relatives left this morning...soooo after all that excitement, I might be heading to Vancouver for a week. I also managed to get 100 from my parents for the many weeks of service driving people around. My aunt, uncle, and grandparents gave me 260 in red pocket money (chinese thing). So with the dust settled, I'm probably heading out tomorrow to Vancouver if I decide to go, with 740CAD to spend on the car...I'm not too sure what I want to do to the car. So far I am thinking about getting a new driver's seat. That should set me back about 4-5 bills. But I also want to get headers, but I don't want to get a CEL. Decisions decisions. I might just get a clutch and flywheel done since the clutch chatter is driving me INSANE!!! So many things to think about and to take into account before I go blow this wad of cash. I don't usually race, so I don't know how beneficial the headers will be for me. I guess you could say I am aiming for a show car.
