Default Did some ebay splurging this weekend

Ha i can't help myself when i go on ebay and i wanted to do some work on my car so next weekend should be fun till something goes wrong and i get all pissed nothings going right. As it seems that always happens. Well anyways this is the few little things i bought:
Push button start: $30 (wanted like 75 for it i offered him $30 and he took it)
Flip Flop Trunk conversion kit: $16 (Thought it looked cool and a easy fun project to do)
Indiglow Gauges: $15.96 ( As my gauges don't even work and ive wanted these..not a fan of the stock gauges)
Tweeters: $3 (ha how could i say no)
All thats not including shipping so i probably spent a cool $80-$100 but ill feel like it's christmas this week with all the packages coming

I have new gauges I bought on ebay and never used because I found out the only problem with my old ones was the inverter. I'd let them go cheaply though they don't come with an inverter so you'd need to get one on ebay. PM if interested. They are for an 8K tach style dash. $15 shipped and I bet on ebay you can get an inverter for $10 or less. I'll post some pics later if anyone wants em so I don't have to PM pics to a ton of ppl. But they are pretty much your standard reverse glow, white by day, blue by night dash overlay.

i think he is saying the "kit" is instructions on how to do it. quite simple and has been written up on here for free. also it doesnt work the way people explain it. you have to open your trunk, pull the pins and then it folds down. if you leave the pins out, when you close your trunk the edge by the back window will lift up.

Yeah its basically and instructions manual, but who can honestly say on here they havent wasted money on their neon on 1 thing or another?
Anyone have a neon with a push button start around here?
