ok so heres the deal, im going to have the money by the end of summer to do one of these options. please tell me what you think. ok, first of all when i bought my car, it was previously in an accident. so the front and rear bumpers and front driver side fender are not exactly paint matched and the rear bumper isnt even aligned properly. so, my options are as follows:
a) buy a body kit, dump the old bumpers, repaint the fender
b) repaint the stock bumpers and fender, wait til next summer for trd kit
c) screw the body, buy coilovers and shocks, strut bar, etc..

im planning to spend $600-$1000 at the end of summer, depending on what option i choose. any other suggestions would be helpful. thanks again.

I believe this is most important when considering parts/mods. Save money and buy what you REALLY want.
