If you have any debt I would use it to pay it down.

Pay off debt for sure, especially if your interest rates are through the roof.

Let us know your choices you've narrowed it down too.

Appearance-wise your car looks ok. Maybe I would get a black Manta decal and some black decals and paint your headlights with the Whistler mod.

This is what I did. This is also what I'll be doing with those nice "tax rebate" checks. Debt sucks.
