Default What to do with $500?

I sold my tonneau cover today for $500 and am considering a few options of what to do with the money, I'd like to get your input:

Option:
1:Programmer and 2" drop shackle for rear
2:Programmer and Cold Air Intake
3:Vinyl cover and HID lights
4:Put money towards new wheels and tires
5:Programmer and HID lights

I really enjoy the truck with the cover off, so I'm not that anxious to put one back on, even if it is substantially lighter.

What would you do?

If you can score good on the hand held then you can prob do option 1 and 2 with some left to save for 5.

I'd say 1 & 2 with a DIY CAI. Programmer is a must-have.

^^^^^^ Totally agree^^^^^^ I love my programmer, wish I would have done this as soon as I got the truck. I did my own CAI also and it works great and was alot cheaper than any CAI you can buy out there.

Guy is selling locally a 3950 cortex for $275, also another guy is selling a vararam CAI for $200. Im thinking of getting both of these. I am rather anxious for being able to tune part throttle trans schedule.

and no, i dont tow regularly. My malibu may get towed occasionally but not often. If I feel the need to, I will be getting helper air bags at that point.
