I would go for a plenum spacer, and possibly a re-tune/reflash. Might help you get the most out of your bolt-ons. I would definitely get some new wheels, then maybe look towards some body work.

Sorry to burst your bubble .. but unlike that other guy I'm not "hard up" for cash
the only reason I posted that thread is b/c I'm thinking of going back to college and was thinking of trading the car in to lower my payments so I could use the couple hundred / month for school .. but everyone seems to think I'm some 19 year old "kid" that works minimum wage at burger king and bought a brand new Z .. sorry .. thats not the case
as for this thread .. figure out what you want to do with the car first .. then spend it
if theres a loan - use it for that
going fi - save
going n/a - intake / exhaust / etc
look good - body kit / wheels / audio / etc
your car, do what YOU want to do with it

pick up some cheapish used wheels with decent tires, but don't spend the full 2.5k on wheels
I say intake, plenum spacer (or full plenum), coilovers, a nice tint and a good audio system
Then pick up some cheap wheels in the marketplace section

Sounds like you have a good base to work of off already. I do agree with putting that towards the loan, but we all want to play and if we have the surplus to do it, we will find a way to do it. Coils and suspension are great...wheels are great...plenum spacer/upgrade and a tune is a great idea...but again, its all up to you.
Personally, I would use that to do a Plenum spacer and some new shoes (used in the marketplace or even ebay if you can find a legit deal)...

I have an 04 Z and just spent about $2200 on it. My first mods should be here at the end of the week.
Ordered 19" rota p45f wheels,nexen n3000 tires,eibach sportline springs,spc camber kit, and a pioneer avh-p4100.
I think wheels and suspension are the most noticeable mods you can do. Luckily for you you already have exhaust and headers which will be my next order.
