Default Which upgrade?

Debating on what I should do next to my 97 Silver DX. The choices are: a new full body kit, a turbocharger, new tailights, or a carbon fiber hood. Now which one should i get, I'm short on cash, so which one would be the less expensive, easy to install and still be a good upgrade. Thanks

yeah, Tailights vs. Turbo? Deifnaely the turbo....have you researcehd turbo kits alot? Its not something you can jump right into it. Taillights would be the easiest to install, then a lip kit, then a hood, then a body kit, then the turbo kit. The same order goes for price, how much can you spend?
