friends getting me a bday present! But what should I ask for?

Well, my friends are all pitching in to get me a gift for my b-day and since we always get each other car parts they are gonna get me something for my car. Price will be somewhere around 300-400... but I don't know what to ask for!!!!!!!

I drive a WW MR, with swifts, K&N filter, defi gauges, stereo system, Compustar alarm system, Jun BL cat-back, and soon 18" gold RCIIs. So, I have thought of one of three of the following to ask for...

1. DP/High flow cat combo
2. Intake (but I don't know which brand, and I don't have a flash nor do I plan on getting one for a while)
3. CF lip (ralliart replica)

Are there any other options I haven't considered that I should be looking at?

Please feel free to post new ideas or if you support one of the already proposed please let me know why! I have included a poll

Personally, I'd go with the DP/TP combo. However, if looks are more your thing, the Ralliart Replica is amazing!

is this OK for someone without a flash? And will I see more gains than I would out of a DP/HFC combo?

I'd say a nice alarm/security system, for being one of the very few EVOs in Canada, you sure don't want any ****ers messing your car right?

J.K. if the ralliart lip is within budget go for that. Where can you get a replica?

I already got a little Japanese toy that I hang from my mirror. It's pretty JDM

I have been reading about an ebay company that makes great replicas, and also Rexspeed is apparently making a CF version of the SE lip which I would be very interested in

so it looks like the dp/hfc route is the way to go? What kind of gains could I expect?

Gains I dunno.

I know after I insalled my Tanabe the JGT500 cat back got quieter on the FWY up to 70MPH compared to the stock DP. I also notice the turbo spooling faster and boost being smoother.

FWIW

When I heard your name was eggy I though of a guy named Eddy I went to school with in Markham, ON... We used to give him a hard time and call him eggy because he had a pretty strong accent. I **** my pants when I read you were from Toronto...

That wasn't you was it??? Hahah
