Invest it in stocks and make money instead of geting sucked into the aftermarket world and loosing your ***.
J/K, the smartest idea but most non praticial.

What are your goals for your car?
If it's looks then go with the wheels, if its drag racing then suspension is a great way to start. Tell us more.

Buy 100 shares of HPQ. Sit on it for 12 months. Then decide what to do from there.

If you gotta dump some money in your car, put a pulley and NOS on it, spend a $1000. Invest the rest.

Make a donation to charity. Remember what the good book says, "It's better to give than to receive". I suggest donating the money to the Bklynstanger foundation. Unfortunately, it's not a tax write off but you'll get a warm feeling knowing that you've helped others' in need. Please make a check out to cash. I'll PM you with the address to send it to.
