    What would you do with a 1000 to spend on your car

    Ive got a grand to spend on my car and I dont know exactly what to spend it on. I will have spent 2000 so far by the 24 or 25 of this month on my car getting things fixed and getting lots of new parts and other things. But I am tempted to get my car repainted I know someone that can paint my car for 500, I did some drywall and deck work for that will do if for pretty much the cost of the paint and masking stuff off. And I can I would like to something to the body thats why I was looking at the aluminum bumper sport aero kit and possibly an M tech 2 wing or tinting. I need the front bumper and the wing takes the square look away from the rear E30's but I dont know what that wing looks like on a car with diving boards that are getting tucked. I would like to tint my windows to try and get rid of the greenhouse effect. I have thought about upgrading to the later ECU and chipping as well but my car needs the TLC on the outside. What would you do with a grand to spare on your car.

        If no suspension yet, then that would be my choice.

        If you already have a decent setup, wheels/tires would go next

            Don't spend it on your car.
            The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                Let's begin.

                Save it for when your old car breaks down so you don't have a new bling piece, but can't drive it because you can't afford to repair it.
                If you are in HS, save it for college.
                If you are in college, save it for booze.
                If you have a gf, hide it.
                If you don't, save it for when you meet some half decent girl and need $ for dates.
                Invest.
                Buy cocaine and forget you drive an eta.
                Buy 4 more Ansa exhaust systems.
                Buy a M50 to go fast, but realize your suspension is junk.
                Buy rims and realize your suspension is junk.
                Turbocharge your car with junkyard parts and realize you should have remember about suspension, tires, brakes.
                Buy suspension and wheels, and overlook the fact you are driving on bald tires.

                Borrow another $1000, get a Mtech-1 kit, and get it painted, then have a nice looking car with junk suspension, junk tires, and an eta motor.

                            not bad, not bad.

                            Priorities for majority of E30s:
                            Suspension
                            Chip
                            SSK
                            Performance tires

                            Until those items are sorted out.....anything else is just not as important, IMO.
                            But to too many, it seems body kit and/or bling wheels and/or turbo kit is the #1 thing to focus on......

                              If I could get my car painted well for $500 I'd do it in a heartbeat. Other than that suspension would be nice
