Default If you had $250 to blow, what would you buy?

I got some christmas money burning a hole in my pocket and don't know what to buy. My car is pretty much stock at the moment, besides suspension and rims/tires. What would you get? I was thinking maybe a lip but not sure what else I could get for that much cash. I don't want to do any engine mods because I plan to swap and turbo eventually. And I do have an Integra disc conversion sitting in the garage that I want to put on one of these days. So help me spend my $$$ on something appearance-wise.

Well, it's just that I haven't had a chance to get anything for my car in awhile and I wanted to get something decent for it.

save it and get something really nice in a couple weeks

That or just get something else for your suspension, you really can't have too much of that.

it seems that most people on this website would take it and go on ebay and buy jdm lips,mirrors,ambers,shiftknobs,coilovers,and black or bronze paint for their wheels...No offense to anyone but that's how it seems from the pics on here..

With $250 I would get jdm stickers and put them in either:

a) front window (slanted for maximum jdm look)
b) back window (slanted for maximum jdm look)
c) front door (in the side for tuner look)

I'd save a bit more and buy a Zeitronix ZT-2, I am still kicking myself for selling mine last year when I needed money really bad.

That's what I would do with it, but that's where I'm at in my build.

Either that, or I'd save some more and buy a mig welder, I need to get around to buying one soon.

To everyone, I drive a midori 96 hatchback. I already have GC coils and AGX shocks (wish I had gotten Koni's now), I have the seven spoke Stern wheels and Dunlop tires. I've done the DIY painted headlight trick and like I said have a full brake swap in my garage that I have been too lazy to put on. Other than that, car is stock. I want to blow the money on ME because I'm 30 and have 2 kids and a new mortgage. Not much ME money these days and I know if I put it in the bank, it will just get spent on something else by the wife most likely. This is my money. She got her own! lol!

You have to man, you are right about that. hehe! I was thinking of getting a Password Sir front lip and maybe a short shifter or something. I dunno. Or maybe save for the Koni yellow's that I wish I had bought 2 years ago. Hmmm...
