need suggestions on a new mod

here's my problem i want to do something new to my p5 and ive narrowed my list to:

-intake and exhaust cams
-new rims
-red kevlar weave carbon fiber hood
-overhead 7" monitor

the most expensive one would be the hood and the other three are comparably priced the same...i also want something that is a showstopper, if you guys know what i mean, i just want turn heads...thanks for inputs...

I agree with onehawaiian guy. The rims will give you the most bling-for-the-buck.

Get some custom ground intake/exhaust camshafts, something more aggressive than the drop-in JDM and MazdaSpeed ones.

head turners for the public = rims
head turners for the occupants of the car = pop up screen

$400 for cams? Where's that at? Mine were $220 shipped for both from www.protege5online.com Anyway you'd better hurry, the Mazdaspeed exhaust cam ham has been discontinued so thery're getting harder and harder to find.
