Around $1,000 to spend on my g37. What to get

okay well i am soon to be a g37x (09) owner and i have about $1,000 to drop onto it. It is going to be obsidian black with black interior. i was thinking about getting a new sound system but if the stock system is okay i will deal with it. anyone want to help me out on what to get to upgrade my car? also if you know the average price of any of the following it would be handful...
20 percent tints
blacked out tail lights
black infiniti symbol for front and back

20 percent tints - 200$
blacked out tail lights - DIY or bats overlays for 50$
black infiniti symbol for front and back - DIY plastidip

Now you still have ~800$ still to spend. Save some more $ and get rims.

The End

Get a tune without bolt ons and post dyno results so we can debunk the myth that you need to buy $500 intakes

Strut tower bar - Handles better, but you feel more of the road (rough ride)
Cold Air Intake - More air, but costly.
High flow cats - More flow, but costly and raspy sounding.

Go easy on the guy. He's new to this. Sway Bars, and Chassis are too aggressive. Get some Ipod at Apple Store.

Suspension. Either springs and sway bar upgrade or go full coilover.
