How would you spend $4,500

Hey guys, I have 4,500 dollers to go all out with my car but I am indecisive on what I should do. Right now I have body kit, rims, soorsills CAI, grounding kit, grills,ETC...
basic stuff. My question is should I get- coilovers, camber kit, brembo brakes(rotors),
comptech headers, UR pullies set, B-pipe. CF hood, upper strut titanium bar, sways.
OR should I get..... Comptech supercharger, tranny cooler, HP pulley, B-pipe, mugen. fan switch ETC...

Before all that, I'd get the VR tranny rebuild. What's the point in having all that bad ass equipment if the tranny fails?

I would if I thought that my tranny was one of the ones affected. Bu tI have 30 thousand miles on the car and Havent had one problem with it yet. I think my tranny is one of the few that is ok. I dont think im in the 10%

The best thing you can do right now with 4500.00 is to buy 150 shares of Home Depot stock or 220 shares of Jet Blue

if it has to be on the car, get the supercharger and tranny cooler. If not then save it. That plus your car now will make for a nice down payment on an 04 tl, or 05 RL
