Save it toward a set of wheels!

BTW, how do you like the AEM pullies? Significant performance gain? Any downside? How much for install?

Unless you need the extra power, go for the body kit. The body kit will make your car stand out more. People can't see the headers and won't be able to admire your car as much

For me personally, I'll vote on headers or Bodykit. But...If you really want to be practical, then get new set of tires...but then again I doubt you worn yours out already, so I guess for you, that's not very practical. Looks like you already have a long list of mods there, but I personally think I'd go with body kit before the headers. Well...that's what I did...look at my sig. I figure I'd appreciate the body kit more often then I would the headers, since I barely can make it to Vtec anyways with the amount of traffic I go through.

From a peformance perspective:

1) Anti-roll bars
2) Springs
3) Wheels/performance tires
4) Headers

I voted for the headers because 1) you have the suspension components already, so now you can harness the extra power (30hp to the wheels? ); 2) I am not one for show off and don't want the weight of the bodykit (plus, mine is WDP and it doesn't match the color good enough, plus I have seen too many OEM kits that didn't fit very well. But, those are my opinions, and reasons.
For me, the question would be: headers, or Xbox plus $700 in games/accesories?

Get the bodykit. You already have enough power (260 hp) stock so you can hold off on the headers.....

OR

You can give me the $$$ so I can get myself the headers since I have the bodykit already.

Seriously, get the bodykit. It will make your TL-S stand out MUCH more. Like a few other people, I always stare at my car when I walk towards it or away from it. OBSESSED with my car......YES!

sorry, guy...no pics as of yet. I know Astroboy's got the same setup on his slammed WDP TL-S. Maybe's he's got some pics. I'm actually checking out some digicams on eBay and as soon as I get my hands on one, I'll post tons of pics.

I don't have a bodykit, and I am probably even more obsessed with my car than either of you.

Your car looks pretty sweet even without the kit, i'd get the headers. But no, you dont get 30 hp at the wheels.

I would go kit first before the headers.

But those two hookers sound mighty appealing

P.S. Its a new year, so all that stuff from last year doesnt count to this years budget.
