Default what do you do with $1k and a '96 RS?

you have $1000 to spend (only suspension, little aesthetic, no engine mods), and the following already done on your integra:

1996 (black) Acura Integra RS (124,000 miles):
h&r oe springs
tower strut bar
98+ taillights
OEM corners painted amber
s2k antenna
shaved rear wiper
brembo blanks on the front (and brembo blanks on the rear eventually.. f'in seized bolt )

winter wheels:
steelies w/ dunlop d60a2's
summer wheels:
96 GS-R's w/ kumho 712's

condition:
some damage to driver side door (see pic).. very minor damage to driver side rear fender (as you can see, it's barely noticable).

hubcaps are now on.. steelies were too ugly h:

rest of the car is OK, not the best, not the worst.

ok, someone gives you that and $1k... what would you do?


NOTE: the other alternative is.. do nothing and finish paying it off (ETA: spring time).. continue driving it in it's current state.. save money, and focus on the next thing.


what would you do?
