Default Need Some Ideas

So, I recently had my 21st birthday, and because of that, I have a little extra money, and you all know where it'll be spent It's not much, but I have at least $150, maybe $250 depending on whether or not I decide to add in a check from the grandparents. Ha. Anyway, anybody have some ideas as to what I could add to my car for about that much? I was thinking either new bigger exhaust tips, a JEGS electric cutout system, or perhaps some simple lighting fixes, both interior and exterior (HIDS). If you would, check out my page to see what I already have done, and let me know if you have any ideas! Your feedback would be greatly apprectiated!

HID from ddmtuning.com for sure. Under $100 for both low and fogs which is a great deal. Easy to install with a little modification.

I'd go with the HID's too. You can always upgrade to LED interior lighting also. As funds come available. There's people here that have done it, who would be happy to give you some pointers.

I'd go with lighting too. The led tail lights are pretty cool too. How about SS headrests or maybe a trunk lid panel like this https://montecarloforum.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=17059 I can spend other peoples money all day long.

Loud when you want it, quiet when you don't is always good. I wish I would have went this way back in the day.

I think I would buy myself items to maintain the car with -Quality Cleaners, Waxes, Oil/filter, good wiper blades, etc... & save the rest back for a Major purchase... (Just me.)

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm definitely taking them all into consideration. Nocturnx, sorry man im set on my smoked tails! And mark, the cargo net in my truck is literally full of all kinds of washes, waxes, detailers, cloths, tire shine, rim shine, you name it! It's probably going to come down to HIDs or cutouts. Here's the thing, the cutouts will eventually happen no matter what. And as far as HIDs, I'm wanting to eventually get those Halo headlights, so I'm not sure if i want to spend money on HID headlight bulbs yet. I guess I could go ahead and buy HID fog lamps...but then that'd look funny. See how much goes through my head? Haha keep the feedback coming! Much appreciated
