Question whats a good way to spend 4k

Ok well I have a 96 2.8 12v.... I have 4000 coming in a few days.... I already have hid lights and timing belt and water pump and oil pump and egr valve taken care of

I'm gonna be buying some rims and tires for 250, vmax coilovers for like 700 including shipping I think and 150 to install and set the height.... I'm onna get the car painted either imola yellow or nagaro blue which is 350 a gallon so I'm guessing I only need one gallon since it is a smaller car, and I'm getting the paint done for free.... So that's about 1500 spent... What should I do with the other 2500? I'm not a fan of body kits so other than that what would u guys suggest? Any and all advice welcome

Oh no doubt.... I got about 5500 but I'm setting aside 1500 for her, I just spent like 400 on clothes and stuff like 3 weeks ago too... Babies are expensive LoL

But yea so like I said ill have bout 2500 left.... Ooh and I'm gonna get windows tinted so say 150 for that... So bout 2350 left... What yall think? And I'm not really going for performance mainly just looks and driveability

I wish I was you lol. Well, it looks like you got the exterior and suspension covered. You got enough $$ to make your car a lot faster!! If you had a 1.8T, I'd say to do a turbo upgrade, but you're in a different category. I don't know much about the 2.8's so I'll leave that up to someone else. Good luck and have fun!

There's only so much you can do to a 13y/o car.

i cant think of any thing else. Good colors you picked though i personaly vote for the imola yellow. you car is gonna look great after all this. oh you could get like the black top that seems to look pretty good on cars.(like pullacowonaski's i think his roof looks black in his sig cant tell)
KnN intake pretty easy and not to expensive.
Carbon fiber hood and trunk are sweet too.
lol im just throwing things out there. sorry.
