Default Advice question - What next?

Hey guys, got myself my hatch finallly and have about 1500 to spend and was wondering what I should do next.
I wanna swap it, but don't have enough.

Currently car has:

D15 engine
Tokico blues all around
Ground control coilovers
15" black NZO rims
Custom exhaust setup currently
Short ram intake
Excalibur alarm system
99 front end conversion.



The conversion is alright, it needs to be tighter though
The headlights are cracked so both retain water and fog up pretty badly.



So what should i do next?

Save up more $$ for a B series swap?
or buy a d16z6 swap?
Or do appearance/cosmetic stuff first?
(spoon style mirros - CF hood - Fix conversion - New headlights etc)

just lemmie know watcha think. and here's pics.

I personally since you are close to it, save up for the swap. Then go with the appearance.

Take the hood pins out.

Do z6 swap or a mini-me.

Nice looking car though!

get an ls swap... you could probably find a good one, and get it installed for 1500-1800 if you find a good deal on it.
