$400 to spend. What would YOU do??

Ok so I have about $400 to spend and I can't decide what to do with it so I thought I would bring it to everyone and see what you all thought. I just got an Edge Evo too so I don't need that. But here are the two options:

1st Option
Airaid Jr. with Cleaner Kit $150
Smoked LED 3rd Brake Light $70
Harley Tail Lights $75
Black Powdercoat Fuel Door $70

2nd Option
Full Intake(Either Airaid or S&B, still unsure) $300
Harley Tail Lights $75

I am one of those that has a hard time making a decision so help me out. I am still unsure on what I want to do with the intake deal also since I don't want a CEL on my '04. Think the Airaid Jr. would give me no problems so that is one reason I am looking at that. Let me know what you would do.

it all really depends on whether you want to spend the $$ on power or looks....personally i would get the appearence stuff first then the intake...i dont think it would look wierd with the smoked tails and the stock headlights b/c its not like the tails are super dark just slightly tinted...just my $.02

That is what I was thinking also. I might get the full intake kit and go with clear LED 3rd brake light. I have the chrome factory side steps right now but I want to add all black accessories. Don't know how that will look though.

Guess I should either go with chrome accessories or take off the steps. I would hate to take them off too. I was looking at getting some black/chrome wheels for my truck. I wonder how they will look. I was thinking a combo of black/chrome on the wheels would be ok. Guess I will pass on the harley tailights then and just go with a clear LED 3rd brake light. Good point though, shouldn't have all chrome accessories and then go and add some black stuff. Thanks.

Well I am kinda stuck on the wheels. I live in Iowa and with all the salt and sand we get in the winter I don't want to ruin a nice set of chrome wheels. I plan on going with a set of Helo Maxx 6 or Moto Metal 951 in black. They are mostly black but have chrome trim so I think they will still look good.

What do you think??
