Save up a little more and get a lightened flywheel with installation would be 900-950.

I have a Canzoomer with the latest map and cables and software for sale in the For Sale section! Canzoomer is a good choice! I know Shameless plug but MRX_Rotary made me do it!

700? towards my car payments.. the car is already great.

but if you insist on spending more money to make it 101% more beautiful, I'd suggest:

side vent strakes
leather handbrake
rear foglight

(might be over $700 for all three)

Too bad you don't live in SC - where windshields are for free :p

I'd probably opt for trim pieces, 'cause the current bolt-on performance pieces don't seem to add much bang for the buck. And this is coming from someone who's sitting and waiting for his CZ-1 module. Still. After six months. If I ever get it, I may change my tune, but the recent thread on the topic was pretty discouraging.
