Need some help deciding

Ok its almost that time of year (christmas and my birthday) so my parents and siblings want me to decide on a gift; obviously I thought of stuff for my car first. I was thinking a new clutch, namely the Works stage 1 system, but I was wondering other possibilities I have. Originally my sister was looking into an OZ spoiler but the dealership wants 1300$ for it. So far I have pretty much all the basic engine mods (intake, TB, IM, and header), high compression pistons, some suspension goodies (front strut and rear sway bar), and various interior/exterior bits and pieces. Can anybody give me some other possibilities given a price range of upto about 600$ or so?

Straight cash, save it up and go turbo? Maybe get a credit card with a good interest rate to cover the other part of it once you have like half saved in cash? That's what I am thinking about doing.

Already have a credit card and a turbo is definitely out of the question. Wideband O2 sounds like a good though.

Only problem is coilovers are expensive, well outside the 600$ price range.

Definitely not a show person, if I can't rationalize spending 5000$ on doubling my horsepower I don't see how I could rationalize spending 3000$ on a bodykit that'll just get scratched to hell up here. The pulleys an option, but I've heard that they can cause problems with engine life.
