What to get for $150?

Got a birthday present in the amount of $150 to get something for my car. That sounds pretty good to me, except I'm not sure what can be had for that sum. I'd like to upgrade the stereo, but I Don't think that'll fit the budget. It's a 2003 C coupe.

Any input would be appreciated.

i would get tints, if you dont already have them
if not, go for the PIAA or the HEON fog and parking lights
you might even be able to get lowering springs for 150, not sure.

Buy gas. We are paying 86 cents a liter in Canada which is getting near 4 bucks a gallon. Gas prices are out of site and going higher I understand.

Just go to a bar with your friends and get thoroughly drunk! The downside is that none of you would probably remember a thing afterwards

Save some more money and you may buy a used Audio 10. It gives great improvement after changing it with the stock head unit. Otherwise, since summer is coming, window tinting is a good idea to prevent UV..

Thanks guys. Like a couple of ideas here

Tint sounds good. I remember reading somewhere that you gotta do it a special way to prevent streaking. Can I get more info on this anywhere?

Sunglasses.... Hmm, had my Oakleys almost for 3 years now. Maybe it's time to buy a new pair

Getting drunk... That actually sounds like the best idea. However, my friends already took me out this weekend and got me thoroughly drunk... I don't think I can stand another hangover like that.
