Birthday/Christmas coming up

Heres the run down i have a 2003 Lancer ES
What i have so far is limo tint 5 percent all around, carbon fiber elegante altezzas, leather nose mask, mudguards the big rubber pieces, neon lights inside, and a pioneer head unit and some nice 14 inch chrome hub caps.

What should i get

or

performance.. i say you get a throttle body, intake manfiold, intake, and catback.. but if you're on a budget, just a catback and intake .. or, if i were the one choosing, i would get the tein coilover setup.. the new one is only $889.. pretty damn good for four struts and springs

It all depends on what you are planning on and what u like i guess. I mean, if you are in to looks, which is tkind of seems like u are with the neons and altezza's and such. I would say go with the new 18 in. Rims. But if you happy with how she looks, and can live with the hubs for a little bit, but u are starting to notice how slow she really is, then go for some performance upgrades. Such as Short Ram Intake or CAI and then get a nice catback system with a test pipe. U will gain like 10hp or somethingin that range and your car will not only look pretty nice inside but also sound really nice from the out. haha.

Just a few things to think about.
