Xmas gifts for your money pit?...

Just curious what are the fellas getting their TL's for xmas?...
I have coilovers on my list nothing fancy just HT-Spec VERSION 2.0 Coilovers, or Tein Suspension STREET BASIS Coilovers... Im leaning more towards the Tein I want the SS but I cant fathom dropping $1000 right now. Im wondering if this will be the perfect purchase for me, Im not lookin for anything crazy just a nice adjustable setup, I will probably be getting 18"s or 19"s to compliment them by spring.
What will you guys be purchasing?

I originally planned to get wheels and coilovers but if everything goes through I might have an 03 Z06 parked in my driveway soon.

porter cable!

the TL got its present last year (see avatar), fully custom to accomodate the roof rack since the last cover didn't quite cover the whole car and a hole was developing from the bike mount.

the X will get roof rails...it just got running boards.

the rest of the funds will go towards my other hobby.

Parallel Parking - We live outside Lancaster PA. The Armish don't parallel park.

However, she is a NY driver....she knows what's she's doing.

it looks darker in pictures than it really is. according to virginia's finest, it's 5% but it's more like 20%. I did get a ticket for it once and that was at a checkpoint.
