Default What should I do with my $500 GC

I should be getting my $500 gift card any day now, so what should I get with it?

I need new brakes so that is priority 1.
What should I do with the rest?

I currently have:
Wheels
F-Sport Sway bar
F-Sport Springs

^ I thought you could only use the $500 for Lexus service and parts (i.e. not HID fogs or aftermarket low beam bulbs)?

Sell it for ~$450 and buy (non-Lexus) stuff you need (if you can't spend all 500)

if you have a 250 i'd spend it on the upgrade to is350 brakes from sewell. Our 250 brakes suck!

W-T-F 250 and 350 brakes are different?!

Ive been reading all these reviews of both cars and they all say that it's just the HP that is different.

Sigh.

^ If it's any consolation, the 250 actually has a shorter stopping distance than the 350.

Are you serious? Or is that the specs? If it's the specs, it could be due to the engine weight?
