On my '87 that's easy...dual exhaust, ceramic headers and a moonroof....
On my '03, getting the AC working (a MUST!!!), rust fixed, bra, tinted windows, few upgrades under the hood...
None of the above... put towards a project Aerocoupe!! I'm looking, just can't afford...plus too many projects in the fire already! Oh well, at least no chance of boredom in my future! lol

New tires/brakes/Rotors/shocks/struts/alignment,exhaust etc `if needed

Major Tune `Up: Plugs, wires, MAF cleaned, etc

New: Belts, hoses,all fluids, all filters, bulbs

Repair: Wore items/complete detail (in & out)

If there's any $'s remaining ? a CAI, New Exhaust tips, & what other member's suggested...

Please post & let us know what you decide...Good Luck
To better answer in a response and not on my phone.
New tires, brakes, rotors, alignment, most exhaust, including new ZZP downpipe. Check.
Tune up. Check.
New belt(Gatorback), Most fluids new and full. New Wizaired CAI, Cabin Air Filter and replacement/upgrade piece to prevent H20 leak, and Bulbs SilverStar where applicable. Check.
Needed:
Hoses, MAF cleaned(What is the procedure to clean properly?), Trans fluid and filter, just need time, Detail, hers gets done first. I am **** and overly detail when I do which usually takes much longer than needed. Including clay bar to paint brush.
