which mod to do next?

hey guys jus wondering wut i should do now..give me and order in which i should go

1.CAI, planning on installing myself
2.complete suspension-kybagx struts, B&G springs, fstb, rsb...only one problem is i cant get the struts until nick from connecticut gets his next shipment otherwise this stuff wouldve been done already
3.Y-pipe-wanna try and wait till end of july after my emmissions inspection is done
4. Front lip-damn i wish i had gotten it when it was still 177...hopefully someone might be selling one on the for sale forum sumtime
5. Rims and tires-rims im still in process of narrowing down on...but tires are the problem, dunno btwn kumho ecsta, dunlop sp sport A2, or sumthing else..i wanna keep it under 900 for rims and tires together
6. sum other little cosmetic mods i might think of later

i have about 2000 to 2500 to spend

It all depends on which category you want to fall under: "all show and no go" or "power over looks".

I went under the later.

alright thanx...yea thats the order i was lookin at too...im not getting no supercharer in my car cuz im not a SERIOUS racer...and im not gonna put in 3000 for a SC, dont got money like that..and as for the front lip, i want it real bad but one problem is that the garage i park my car at has a very steep incline, so with the drop im pretty sure if theres anyone more than me in my car, it might bottom out there for a sec, so imma have to be careful if i get a lip and make sure if can clear it without cracking or damaging...do u guys think a two second touch on the floor could damage it or is it made of good strong material? and also how much does cost to paint and install it?

with that much money, i would do this:

get the intake (frankencar??? )
then do the suspension
then rims
then y pipe

any interest in interior, like dash kits, STS, shift ****, shift\brake boots, brake handle, indiglo dials, sound system.... (save sound system, each of those is a great 'in between' mod)

good luck, have fun, post pics

how is the frankencar compared to a cold air?
i already got indiglo guages, prolly gonna get a aluminum dash cz it'll go nice with my grey interior...and get sum 15" neon tubes under the driver and passenger seats...i want a system but i got the darn BOSE so imma stick with that
ONE more big thing i do gotta get is a better security system...im thinkin of gettin this nice LCD alarm thing that has a screen on the alarm remote that tells me anything that happens to my car right away, if anyone even sits on it, tries to open a door window or trunk, tries to start it, tells me if the battery is low or dead, if the radio is messed around with, if the hood is opened, and alotta other lil kool toys...and imma get a cutoff switch too, dont want sum1 to take my baby away or hurt it

What is the name of this security system? Is it better than the Clifford line too? I was thinking about getting a Clifford Concept 600 brain along with some other goodies like window up/down and extra sensors. That would make it better than the Solaris too I believe because that uses a Concept 200 brain.

Rims sounds and video are the only mods you should ever do to a maxima
