Not too much money there.

Maybe I'm just saying this because I am now interested in this but, buy a Porter Cable and some pads and polishes and go to town on the car's paint. Why not make it look like new? I am thinking about this right now and it will cost around that, maybe a little more.

Save it. Not really a whole lot for $150 that your going to feel a gain from.

I think you should get a shifter. I bought my B&M and I love it. It was like night and day differance compared to the stock shifter.

if you dont have a short shifter yet, definately get that. that is the single most enjoyable piece you can purchase, something you feel everytime you drive. and it feels great. i got the hurst competition plus for about a $150 and i absolutely love it. i even made a stick for it. pm me if interested.
