Default Money Question
Situation:
Going to spend $1K tomorrow on a Canon 50D (camera).

If you had the money what would you spend it on for the IS?

What mods are available for $1K and under?

I really want rims but also I also want this camera. Its a very good deal too.

Get about $600 or more and you could get a nice sounding exhaust.

Spend on the Camera then keep saving for mod later..
use the new camera to capture your beautiful IS | post some pics...| CL members will critique with drop the bish...!!!!..by that time you would have $$$ for coilovers....

Get mods first then camera. What's the point of taking picture of a stock looking car?

I would go for coilovers first. Drop is always first. Tein SS

The only problem with the camera is that you'll be shopping for a new one in two to three years. (normal life cycle of digital cameras.) The 50D, btw, is a very nice camera.

Get the camera. Maybe take some nice pictures of your ladyfriend/gf/spouse so she forgives you for future extensive mod spending...

Camera for sure. it hold it value more. But if it's your first camera I suggest buying a cheaper body and save money for glass.

If you want to spen it on your car save the $1000 and wait till you have enough for wheels.
