Default What should I get?

I've put the car on hold while paying off my debts. Well I've got my credit cards paid off so I figure it's time for a gift to myself before I get the car paid off. I've alloted myself $500 bucks, just enough for a couple presents but I don't know which to get so figured I'd let you guys vote. Right now I've got a cam, 78mm fast manifold, P+P TB, SFC's, AR headers, Corsa cat-back, Koni rear shocks, new valve springs, pushrods, ported oil pump, rollmaster timing chain, and HPTuners, and clear corners. I'm not looking for rims and don't need rubber right now, and am also alloting for some tint when I get home besides the $500. I'm looking for more handling, and appearance, the power is what I want right now (more then the suspension can handle lol), and I'm not looking to lower the car anytime soon. So let's hear it!

If you have different suggestions let me know!

If you get a new adj TA that is relocated off the tranny, be careful with your selection and ground clearance, if that matters to you... I bought the spohn one and I've smacked the **** outta it a couple times on speed bumps, etc..

I didn't see you had a rear under your car, I'd vote save for a rear

good suggestion, but if ure not really "pounding" on the car per say, u can let that go. i'd do the suspension for sure, and take the advice to save for a rear if ure planning to be racing the car

I would love for a rearend but the thing is I haven't been to the track for 2 years and don't plan on going a lot for a while until I do get a rear. And when I do go I'm not going to throw slicks on which I know it's not a fail safe for the rear but it will help. Anyways it's not a top priority right now since I'm saving and paying off debts before my Air Force enlistment is up, but I wanted to get a little something to spoil myself

And which TA do you guys suggest that gives the best clearance? I already have a problem with clearance in the jersey roads, that's the reason I don't wanna lower the car, but the clearance issue really isn't a problem except when I'm going over speed bumps. I generally stay out of steep driveways since I've already gouged out my corsa tips that way, and try to avoid any other steep spots.

The relocation kit I want I believe is the UMI where it can still use the stock TA, but I saw it listed at the strano website. Anybody have experiences or thoughts with that kit?

And what about billet grills? There are soooo many of them out there which one has the best quality without being the most expensive?

Thanks for all of the replies so far!
