Default Need Some Input of New Mods

Hey guys, got some extra change coming in here soon and looking for a few new mods...I thinking round 3-400$; I'll have more, but gotta fix my hood. I have a few ideas but want some recommendations;

Aluminum Driveshaft
H&R Super Sport Springs (do I need the Spring Isolators???)
BBK Throttle Body
MRT 4" Rolled Exhaust Tips
White Face Gauges along w/ Pillar Pod w/ Air/Fuel Ration, Vaccum, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, or Water Temp?

Def. gonna paint calipers, I got "Mach 1" Caliper Stickers to put on over the paint, I'm thinking Blue; anyone think of another color for some reason?

Any other ideas would be great, thanks!!

I wanna do gears, but to have them installed, total is near 500$, plus I would need a tune to correct the speed, etc.

List looks good! I would keep your iso's in, thats what I did. Its kinda noisey with no iso's, its like metal rubbing together. How about a mgw sts? I don't see that on ur list.

Not to sound dumb, but what do you gain from the sts? I've always wondered and just haven't asked...r they hard to install yourself?

Short throw shifter is not hard to install. It cuts down on the travel length you have to travel to get to the next gear. It is very short and also makes it so you don't ever miss 3rd gear. It also help when your trying to slam gears when racing.

gears gears gears your car will feel 100% diff. plus the TB isnt really needed you wont gain much from it. and you can cut your springs to get the same look and feel as the SS. i say you would be better off with gears, tune, and the MGW you car will feel like a whole new car
