Help me make a choice.

So I have a choice to either get my car repainted plus headlights done or get a tune and plenum spacer. I'll get both eventually but right now I have to choose one and get the other next month or so. Silly topic I know but I really can't decide lol. For reference my bumper, hood and mirror would be repainted. And my performance mods so far are just invidia Gemini and berk HFCs. Thanks!

Edit: Forgot to mention. I'm an 2007 coupe manual.

I choose to let you make the choice. No offense but I've never understood threads like this, "What wheels look best for my car", "What color should I paint my car" etc. It's your car and these should be YOUR choices because they're very personal. Do what feels right to you. I had a lot of backlash here for several of my decisions along the journey of my car and IDGAF because I liked them.

If it were me I'd get the repaint 'cuz my girl doesn't feel so well when she doesn't look her best......

Like our Texas brother mentioned above, some things must be your choice...we can't make them for you! HFCs, you don't want either one of those...search you'll find they have a bad reputation. Fast Intention HFCs have worked great for me, a far better choice!

What suits your fancy more?

IMO I loved the intake noise change when I got the plenum spacer, and without a doubt the car is peppier.

Go with what you think you'd want now, versus what can wait.

I'll probably get a plenum spacer and a tune then. Just worried I won't feel a difference lol. Never had my car tuned before. Well dropping by z1 motorsports for a tune and plenum spacer next week. Will put up dyno sheets if anyone is interested

Are you planning on doing any other mods to your car in the future? No point in getting your car tuned just to have new parts put on a year later. I say go for the paint unless you're 100% sure you won't be modding your car in the future.

Pretty sure I'm done modding after my plenum spacer. The rest after is cosmetics probably.
