What To Get Next?

I basically have around 1k to spend....my birthday is coming up....and my mom opted to get me an early b-day present and i chose something to do to my car...this is like a heaven sent to me cause i pay for all of the shit on my car...and she knows how much i love my car....but im stuck on what i should go for ive narrowed down like...small packages....

1) TV Headrests
2) Two 12" subwoofers with false wall in the trunk
3) SSR Competition Wheels 18" w/ Pirelli PZero Nero tires (its well over 1k but its possible)
4) Custom Magnaflow Exhaust / Tinted Tails / Cleared Headlights
5) Repaint the Entire Car...lots of chips...and ive had the front end replaced and the backend replaced...so the color blend is off.
6) Coilovers / Tinted Tails
7) Coilovers / Cleared Headlights
8) Viper Alarm System with all of the upgrades / Tinted Tails

im kinda torn between the BASS package....the Wheels.....and the EXHAUST/TAILS/CLEARED package....because im not sure if the wheels would look right without a drop....and i was gonna get the springs but then id have to buy aftermarket shocks...so it made most sense to get the coilovers....and i really want the exhaust...but im afraid of the droning but the cleared and smoked look...looks amazing...and i love it....and the BASS...well.....i just need more of it....A LOT MORE

Wheels are a must! That makes your car look totally different.

I say the wheels, but wouldn't it have made more sense if your poll didn't say option 1-xxx, but just the actual option so people don't have to refer back?

Go for the alarm with the extra money. Helps you keep the other stuff after you get it.

The only thing I wouldn't like is the radio and seat controls wouldn't work on a viper alarm. Or at least I don't think so.?/?

im sure you got into accidents when you were young, atleast fender benders...i got into an accident and hit someone in the front cause they stopped short turning out of school...it was mainly my fault for not paying attention but had to replace the front....the back end somebody hit me in a parking garage so i had to repaint it....it happens to everyone...

Do all suspension work: coilovers (camber kit, if necessary) and RSB. Of everything you're looking at, this will improve performance the most. Also, cleared heads are free and tinted tails are only $50...do them no matter what if you want them.

well,
rolled my '76 cj5 3 times (offroad). split open both l/side rims on my '65 mustang cause i ran wide in a turn after having a few beers @ the disco (yes, disco still sucks). backed my toy pickup into the powerpole in front of my house the morning after a yankee game...folded up the front fenders on the same pickup trying to go where no man has gone before, then hit a deer on the way home...

the real problem was the loss of liscence (5 times) and complete totals of 7 motorcycles in 5 years. a friend got me to Pocono Raceway to help improve my skills and i was hooked. i recommend you get to an autocross course (anyone help w/ a link for this?) or a dragstrip (Englishtown is an hour from Morristown). i like the autocross idea better; real racers turn left AND right.

get the suspension mods done. it'll increase your margin of safety. i recommendt the a-spec springs/struts w/ a comptech rsb (my stock bar is still avail.)

regards-

You should add clearbra to the list after re-paint, the best investment I've made to my TL!
