tough decision - body kit or headers/CAI

I have a company down in rosemead, cali that makes body kits for the acura CL type s, and also my local dealer has comptech headers and the AEM CAI in blue in stock. However, the autobody shop is booked into the next year, I can't get my car finished until January. I'm thinking I should go headers/CAI way, to get that by XMAS.

What you think guys?

Get headers/cai, body kits look cool, but if u dont have the power to back it up, it doesnt do any good.

the body kit is from jt autostyles they have pics up on their site now for the CL, pricing can be given if u email them. I got these prices:

$375 front bumper
$375 rear bumper
$249 side skirts
$125 fog lites (pair)
$125 lips..free stabilizer valued $69.99 for holiday
$300 jt spoiler
prices excludes tax, s&h, paint, and installation.

Yeah I was thinking headers/CAI first then body kit after I save up again. I dont think I'll get the supercharger. Thats like way up there, 4500 bucks ouch

besides....wait for the headers. greddy and warpedspeed already anounced that they will have headers for our cars soon. Probably DC sports will follow next. These headers may actually be better than comptechs, or maybe not. However, you can guarantee that they will be cheaper. CAI, I would wait for the Comptech Cold Air box.
