Wow what a waste of money. With $3k I'd be only $17000 in debt. Its alright go ahead and spend your money now because one day you're gonna look back and realize "Damn I should have saved the money when I had it."

whatever floats your boat.....but y would u put that much money into a 12 year old car when you could save it or use it as a down payment on a newer, better, and even faster car?? and then to swap it. whatever though, if u feel the need...

What kit are you putting on? Your car looks fine the way it is (teal with silver slipstreams). IMO just spring for dent/rust removal and paint.
