So, 400 bucks left to waste, what on?
I set a nice spending limit for myself and the wifey for this past weekend's trip to Cali, and I've got 400 and change left over. What should I get? My exhaust is complete (just waiting for the Y-pipe and the test pipes from Pro-1), so I can toss it all on.

1) Stereo-two 10s and an amp (Rockford Fosgate P1sx2 + a nice MA Audio 1200 watt amp)- I will build a box myself, thank you
2) Performance-Spacer
3) Shaving the trunk opener thingy and emblems plus repaint (it'll cost me 450)
4) Something else?

I say get a Grounding kit (preferably Gordgee's).

Then put the rest away and have that much more to spend on your next trip.

Depends on is you want - performance or looks... I'm in the process of doing both. If I were doing one or the other, I would go performance and get the spacer. If you're more incline to want cosmetic, then I think re-doing the rear is a good idea. I don't have the "trunk latch thingy", but I did re-badge.

Good luck, hope it turns out the way you want!

My cars are the least of my investments, I consider them a definite expense. A fun one, but nevertheless an expense

having read all other suggestions, i almost went with the crawford cast plenum (for you - i already have one), but then Clear Bra stroke a note. your car is new - i do recommend the clear bra. those paint chips suck! - i wish i got mine bra'ed when i got it...
