how to spend my money?

i've already got the zzp 2.9", lucas #42's, and AEM CAI.

i've got about $3k to spend on the whip. this is the parts list i threw together:

carbon fiber invader 2 hood, carbon fiber decklid, billet upper and lower grilles, SSC springs, full exhaust, rk sport 3 piece spoiler.

what do you guys think?

i know the list is appearance oriented, but i might throw some transaxle mounts and torque damper in as well

The legal tint for NJ is nothing on the front and whatever you want on the back. I went 30% front an back though .

Definitely tint (what's this word legal mean?)
I would lose the rear deck (not a fan myself), love the hood (plan on that one too)
maybe get some new wheels or paint the factory ones
Projectors or maybe HID retrofit and eyelids

Damn, I wish I had that kind of money to throw around on my car.

Sounds like a good purchase for parts though.

I would do 1500 for appearance, and 1500 for performance.

Good luck!

What is your goal with the car?

I'd save my money untill I figure out what I want ultimately from it instead of buying random parts.
