Default How to spend a $75 AM giftcard?

So gents im in a bit of an indecisive bind, your advice welcomed.

I got a $75 gift card for Xmas, with about $75 to go with it. Not alot, I know, but Im torn and indecisive. Total budget $150. Options:

Catch Can
Billett Fuel Door
Sequential Tails
J&M LCAs

And of course anything else you can think of...

FWIW, Im not just being cheap, ill probably be dropping around $700 on cosmetic mods from other vendors in January, so AM gets only a small part of my budget :/. Those mods will be smoked turns, a vinyl blackout panel, AVS slotted tailight bezels, and a custom vinyl supersnake stripe (Installed)

The items you listed are all an option! The question is are you going for performance or looks? I love my sequentials, and IMO you really don't need a catch can with your mods.

I've got the J&M LCAs. Worth the upgrade!

A catch can is a nice item to have, it gets overlooked a lot, but it is worth the money. The problem is, (if you care), is no one will ever know how well you spent your money, unless you pop the hood and point lol. So just like redfire stated, are you going for looks or performance?

To be honest, I have truly no preferance between these mods, or performance or appearance. The idea of reducing sludge and keeping the TB clean is attractive, with FI hopefully somewhere in the future. I havent noticed a problem with the wheel hop everyone seems to have, but ive been told LCAs are a good investment... And well the appearance stuff just looks sexy. And I like my car to look good, but Im not the attention ***** whos always dancing around saying "look what I did arent I awesome?" If people like and apprecciate it great if not so what she makes me happy

I would do a catch can, if you are planning on spending that much in cosmetics in January, then you are really not loosing anything. And since it seems like you care about the internals of your car, the catch can will make you feel better about yourself and the car.
