What next?

I just got my Injen CAI and I was wondering what else I can do for mods? I don't have an extremely tight budget but I'm not rich atm either. I'm just looking for ideas of what I could do w/ my car preferably a maximum amount of cheap useful mods. I am looking for performance in the long run but I'd rather go looks right now since I have an car show in September. I got quoted $250 at the cheapest for window tint so I'm not sure I want that right now. Any ideas for like CF hoods or trunks? Anything that'll look nice anywhere? My engine bay looks horrible right now too so if there's anything I can do there? Please don't leave any smart-ass comments, I'm just looking for suggestions because I am at a loss of what to do next.

I'll stop my smart ass comment and be nice...

Engine dress up that I suggest (ugh even saying it makes me cry a little on the inside):
Polished valve and spark plug cover
MRZ billet engine dressup (covers)
Swapped vac hose to different color and silicone

If you spend 250 dollars to tint your windows you should've bought a more expensive/better car.

Thanks for the ideas, looking into them and I'm not sure I want to do the window tint because it will be that expensive for me and more expensive to drive far enough to someone who will do it for less.

Yea so I've heard... I'm gonna ask to see if I can get them to come down on the tint but I doubt they will.
