$500 to spend

Ok girls and boys, i have $500 to spend on my stock 98 black lude. I know thats alot of money to do stuff, but i want to do it right. I can save the money and wait for my next paycheck which is 2 weeks from friday or go ahead and spend this money i have now on mods. I was thinking JDM fogs, Groundcontrols, Intake, bodykit, etc. Which order should i start things off in, just need some opinions. Bodykits choices would have to be Mugen replica or WW RS.

I was thinking about saving my money but a Co-worker mentioned lifes too short, and i thought about it and decided to do something to my car sooner.

Yeah, thats what i'm doing paying off the cards, i owe like $2500 from previous car 99 civic SI (totaled). So my other option since the prelude is badass as is for right now, just continue paying off my debt and get smaller items for car or just wait and save up. But i see all these phat ludes on here and just wanna hook mine up so badly, especially with those JDM fogs.

I'd pay off the debt first. You are wasting alot of money on interest if you have $2500 on the card.

Do not get a bodykit. $500 will not cover it. I bought my kit and spoiler for like $1000,$200 to get it shipped, and now it's gonna cost maybe $600-800 to get it painted and added on. A grand total of $2000. I'd get an intake, header, or exhaust. I'm selling a brand new greddy EVO exhaust for $470 shipped. In case you decide to go that route.
