Default What parts to get next?

So I have some money saved up. I am thinking of getting some new parts. What are your recomendations. I have around 800 to 1000 to spend.

I was thinking:

Blacked out headlights
I would love this, but I am worried about leakage.
or
Custom Nismo Graphics in bronze and red
I love the clean look of my car. Is this really needed.
or
LED taillights
I like these tail lights, but 300 just for some tail lights?
or
Stillen Engine Damper
I heard this is a good mod.
or
GT Spec Braces and Tanabe Underbrace
Not a hard core racer so I don't think these really are needed.
or
Stirup Headers
The only problem I think about getting headers is I already have a re-flash and I don't plan on getting one done after the headers, so the headers might not help much in power.
or
Any ideas you guys have.
I have a list of mods below in my sig.

GT spec braces and Tanabe underbrace sounds like a winner to me!

Engine dampers are excellent products, we put one in my best buddys honda. smooth as silk when shifting hard.

Stillen or somesort of Y-pipe for performance. shouldnt hurt the flash with your current mods.

Blackouts for appearance...?

Interior, do you have NAVI....what about a DVD player?

I heard headers are not worth the time and money...my 2 cents

i think stereo or air duct would be good. OR get new seats! If you are a bigger guy, the seats might not be good because my sparco torino is tight on me and i am 5'8 170! each seat is like 450 then brakets are another 400-450

You know you want those graphics u ricer, so might as well rice it to the MAX! Headlights you can do yourself and taillights should be simply sprayed black. That right there should be $300, get everything else except the header - that should put u at $750 spent. Use the rest on an oil cooler.

4SHIZZIL G-SPOT -- I already have a nismo exhaust, No Navi or DVD player in my car, but I plan on getting a GPS system this summer

UMW350Z -- I have a stereo already. Seats. I'm a big dude 6'8". No way I would fit in any of those racing seats.

abui01 -- lol no comment. Also I can not do the headlights myself. I am not in any way mechanically inclined at all. Not going to spray my tail lights black becuase I can not afford any tickets.

mmm I think it might look good with the Nismo set. If you do get the Nismo set then you should consider the decal set you used to have on your wheels too.
