got around 1k to spend. any suggestions?

saw another thread like this and figured why not give it a shot.

i am completely out of ideas on what to get next. what would you guys get if you had 1k to spend?

current mods are

evo 8
hta3582
ams intercooler
ets upper and lower piping
tial q
full 3 inch downpipe
ets test pipe
hks catback
ported IM and 65mm TB
cbrd radiator
spark tech non cdi
gsc s2 cams
valvesprings and retainers
grimmspeed bcs
running e85 on fic 1250's
ams FPR kit
fuel rail
ams oil cooler
coilovers
rota grids
jdm rear
varis style lip

thats about it. soo seeing that list, what would be YOUR next item purchased?

top of my list right now is the rexpeed VA-style diffuser. Thats if they have it in stock which i doubt.

let me know what you guys think!

*edit* just got a pm from rexpeed. the va diffuser is sold out but only a few weeks out. so this is still at the top of my list.
oh and car is strictly a street car that gets beat on pretty hard.
and it can be anything from exterior mods, engine performance or suspension components

I didn't see it in your list so I'm assuming that you're still on the stock bottom end.
Given this bit of info I would say you next buy should be a set of drop ins.
