    I'd get some headers (www.modacar.com has DC headers for $289 I believe) then get a cam regrind, then maybe an MSD ignition and coil. That would probably use up just about everything. This is just what I'd do

    You can pretty much cross the DC sports header off your list. Modacar,digital racer, and doctor import all do not have the header in stock. Indefinate backorder is what they all said. Now if you want to try someplace that charges $50 more they might have it But I really doubt they do.

    You know what I'm gonna say to do with your money. Pull your GR-2's and get Koni's from shox.com for $424+free shipping. I'm sure someone that isn't going to lower their accord would buy them off you.

    Take your car into the paint shop and get your moldings and bumpers painted to match. That should be about $150. Then take it to a paintless dent removal place and get the car straightened out some. A good wet sanding and detail job should be next and then fix all of the peeling paint on your window moldings. Your car will look like new again.

    Seats are a good idea too Arron. There is a nice set of seats from a 93 integra down at the Campbell Nelson junkyard in Arlington. It is right across from the airport. They are $350 for the whole set including the back seat and are black and in immaculate condition.

    i dont really need audio at the moment. what i have now can hold me over for a while. i got a pioneer deh-p410 head unit, kenwood 6x9's, profile 600 watt amp, and my brothers 18" sub in my trunk. so i think i'll wait on audio for now

    but thanks for all the ideas, and keep em coming
