    If I had a extra $4k to drop on my car... I would probably try and find or make better suspension... struts and independent rear suspension... EFI... a/c (done properly)... I could do alot with that much money...

    Depends on what the car needs... could do floors, paint, etc.... first things I always do with a new car is upgrade suspension/steering/tires. Then do whatever you think the car lacks.(power/cosmetic)

    Discs & overdrive. Nickle & dime stuff will eat up a lot of it.
