Need opinion on next mod

I have three ideas for my next mod, and there prolly gona run my 300-400 dollars.
I am not sure what one i should do first, but they will all be done eventually.

1. RMR downpipe, to fit up to the stock cat and the RMR catback i already have.
2. Defi D gauges. Boost and EGT gauges on a 2 gauge A-pillar pod
3. Blacking out head and tail lights, purley comsetic. I think it loks good

Well those are the three that i have planned, and im just looking for some info on what everyone thinks i should do 1st.

I would do the gages too but for sure downpipe next. I don't know why Mitsu didn't just put at least a boost gage in the dash that seems like a basic must for a 19+ psi turbo car. I mean thats like not puttin a tach or a gas gage on.

I guess Mitsu knows that everyone has their own preference for boost gauges just like how everyone has a different preference for exhausts. I don't see too many people getting the factory gauge option w/ their cars. That has a boost gauge in it.

I think i will prolly go for the gauges too, but the DP will be next. I dont go to the track, yet, and i dont race people so performance isnt the highest thing on my list. Im just kinda going for the wow factor on my car, and its kinda naked without gauges so thats prolly what will come 1st.

Thats cool. I tell you what. I have a 3in DP for sale that I will sell cheap. I bought one from a company and they sent me 2. It will be the cheapest you'll find around if you want to save money. I didnt pay for it so I can do that. Just PM me when you are ready. I am talking like $100 and I'll ship it to you. Its of no specific brand but it is full 3in. Dont know why the co sent it to me, but Owell.

I would get the gauges first, esp cuz the dp is going to affect your boost, so might as well get gauges to check out whats happening to ur car.
