Have about $500.00 to spend.. what to get?

Title says it all. I have about $500 of spending money to play around with. I have an OB 04 coupe only mod I have done is the intake and just ordered the JDM clear corners the other day.

What I am thinking of doing..

-06 projector headlights
-Get my stock 18's painted gloss black ( I like these rims and plan on keeping them for awhile)
-Get the grill painted black
-Motordyne 5/16 plenum spacer
- HFC's

Those are my options will only be doing one of them this month and can't decide what to get.

Thanks for the help!

The projectors make a big difference in the front end appearance of the car. That would be my choice.

IMO, projectors are a waste of money. The OEM projector lenses are ****ty, you're better off paying someone to do a TL swap or something with high quality projectors than spending $500 on headlights.

Stock ride height is too high, you should lower it.

well its the 6MT sport package so IMO its low enough with the current tires. I think I am leaning towards headlights but was wondering if there are any custom ones out there. I remember a company called cincity designs but I think they are no longer in business.. Also if I buy the OEM lenses do they come with the HID bulbs?

For your budget get a MD basic 5/16" spacer and a nice used set of HFC's. This will address performance and give you a nice HP bump for ~ $500.

Don't listen to these fools that tell you to dump the car.

go with the spacer and then slam it. Projectors are not a immediate need and I am not a fan of painted wheels. Just my $.02

What are you trying to accomplish with your car..? It seems like your list is all over the place.

Cosmetic tbh is higher on my list then performance.. I am not a racer but I do want a few performance mods done to my car. The car for me is fast enough since like I said im not racing. I think I would only like to get another 15-25 HP out of my car.
