Next mod? help me pick

what should my next mod be with about 250 bucks? i have a starion fmic (installing monday) and newer exhaust (installing monday) other than that, the mods are in the sig:
my options basically come down to:

handling (nice used springs and shocks)
speed (injectors and FPR)
niceness (seats, carpet, etc)
looks (front lip, new tail light)


what do you all think?

is anything broken on your car? whens the last time you did a tune up? if you answered not long ago to the last one and theres nothing mechanicaly broken with your car or something that really bugs you go with the suspension upgrades, if you still have the original stuff its probably worn out.

I don't see any strut tower bars in your sig? I agree with speed, but handling goes a long way for speed IMHO.

I say interior. From the mods listed, it seems like your car is at a point where you can start to make it look as good as it is fast.
