Next mod help....need advice from the non-rice!
Hey gang,
You can all check out the ride below, and what I've done to it (next to nothing). But I wanted to keep it pretty toned down, classy, and most definitely non-ricey. I figure I have to sell this thing one day (and then pick up my S6 avant...woot!). Anyway, since it has 71K on the clock, I know that my next un-fun mod is going to be the timing belt. I have the kit picked out, and will do it with the water pump, tensioner, tool rental, etc, once I get the garage space (not too long from now). Also, the snub mount is sitting on the shelf waiting to go on at the same time.
BUT, my main question is...I got a hundred dollar ebay gift cert. for xmas, and have another 75 bucks sitting in my account. What should the next fun mod be? It certainly isn't enough for that awesome supercharger, I like the wheels that are on there, I recently re-did the non-working concert stereo (sans rear speakers....forkin' Germans) w/ integrated XM....I'm thinking lighting.
I really like the look of the one piece with the clear corners, but don't want to get too crazy with the design. I would also love to have some fog lights underneath instead of in the light housing itself (what's up with that??) - but so far no luck getting anyone to sell me their stock ones. E-codes look nice but expensive, so maybe a DIY is the way to go. I'm not really afraid of getting down and dirty with this thing, but once again, want everything to remain classy.
Maybe get one of those HID kits someone is selling at AZ for 265?
What would YOU do, fellow board members?

definitely get some one-piece headlights. the fogs can come later, they're not as important as the projector headlights..i did the conversion on my 96 and it transformed the front end. i did lower fogs later on and they look good too, but they're not nearly as big a difference as the headlights were.
