    $880, what do I do with it?

    So by the end of tomorrow, I'll have $880 in my wallet, and I need to spend it on something, because thats what Americans do.

    Some ideas I've had are:
    fiberglass hood from IE (hood, shipping, painting=$600ish)
    reupholster my original seats to make my interior look pretty (RobS or Mexico, prices vary :) )
    small items such as euro grills, euro bumper trim, pedals, blah blah
    keep saving and get a new paint job

    You guys know of anything worth the cash?

        Take your hood off all together, and get a body kit!!

        LOL

        No, but seriously...umm, i'd vote against the hood. Unless you think you TRUELY need it.

        I'd say save the $880. You got suspension done already? If not, put the cash to a nice suspension setup.

        If you already have that covered, take care of some maintenance, and save up for a new paint job! :)

        Or save up for a motor swap...... 8)

              He has an M50, engine is set in my mind.

              Would you consider a few engine mods to your M50 Jeremy? I have no idea what you have done to it. I'd probably say save it for something big or maybe replace some worn items or other suspension parts. Do you have Konis?

                Didn't know that. So, that rules out my suggestion.

                Personally, I'd save it. Spending that much on a hood seems like a waste to me. Spend it on something that will give you more in return. ;)

                  cams + ecu tuning, intake and exhaust. that combo yields around 200 whp.

                  do it.
