unusual how to spend money question

I have been wondering why my usual advisors on this forum have not answered the below question for a cople weeks now until I just realized I posted it to another forum (that doesnt work good).

Anyway my question is similiar to one that I read here all the time - I have x amount of money what HP mods should I do except this case has a twist. It all has to be out of the FRPP catalogue (I think- more on this in a minute).

Here is the situation
When I bought my new auto gt conv a couple weeks ago I opted for this 850 package that I subseuently learned was a rip off. (*Every* single posting I found about it on the net, as well as family and others I asked about it said it was). It was for the undercarriage, leather, paint and I forgot what else to all be upgraded in various ways. Anyway, the dealership let me out of the contract at least their half of it. Then they owed me 850 worht of parts labor and I had the windows (after a process) tinted for about 300.

So now I have about 5 or 6 hundred to spend and it must be out of the frpp catalogue. I could throw in a little if I need to but i need some suggestions. taknig into consideration that I can still buy stuff elsewhere for a better product /price. Such as- I was going to buy the 90 MM CAI from FRPP until someone here showed me a package sct/densecharger combo online for btwn 5 and 6 hundred.

So if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate them.

I can't find the accessory brochure online. But that was the first thing we looked at teh dealership. You know those mudguards in it with the ponies on them/ The dealership was gonig to put those on my car for just $250. I am not kidding. I ordered them for 17. plus S$H online. Tehn when I got them didnt like them. They look like mudflaps. About a 1/4 inch think at most.
NNo I didnt get the CAI/tuner combo, that is HAnks. That is what i was wondering- should I get the combo or that $600 90 MM one in the frpp manual? I guess I could always get the tuner later if I got the frpp CAI- What do you think and thanks for your response

Yes i did Thank you. As soon as I posted to Bigcat and read your above reference to them I went to teh other post. I didn't reply there because I had no comment for the moment. I have been considering what you posted. I really need to use my balance at the dealership. I asked yesterday for them to look in to me ordering a rollbar through the aftermarket shop that tinted my car. If they will, that is probably what I shuold do. It doesnt look like the 90 mm frpp is worth it from teh dealership, but like I said, I really need to use up that balance.
And thanks for explaining the diff btwn the pro cal and sct. I guess if I got the 90mm, and then the sct by itself, then I wouldn't need the pro cal and could ebay it to recoup a little money, right? At any rate I am going to decide early this week. Don't worry any time you spend advising me is not wasted.
