Default $2500 What would you buy first?

My wife spent 2500 on jewelry for xmas so now I get to spend 2500 on my 07 GTCS. Im looking at a suspension upgrade, exhaust upgrade, CAI, wheels, possibly a speedster cover for when the top is down, a light bar and a few other things. Obviously 2500 wont cover it so where would you start or what would you do? The car is a black07 GTCS automatic convertable.

Sell the jewelry and buy $5000 worth of mods.

All depends on what you want to do with the car. Drag race? Turn corners? Look good?
Tuner, Gears, Tire/Wheels is what I would get.

Im not looking to drag race so Im more looking for handling and increasing the power and the looks. Since its winter here I have 3 or 4 months to do whatever before the car hits the road again.

If it were me I'd get the CAI/tune combo, then lower her with the adj panhard bar/brace, tokio shocks, and a bigger sway bar
