How to spend $3,500 on tC?

With your new found money, I'd go with Hotchkiss Sway bars, a 20% tint, circles and wrapping paper (for those that don't know rims and tires) and finaly some engine dress up items. Or you could just drop that money into your car loan, if you have one and pay off the car just that much sooner.

For $3500, I got a dvd indash, 18 inch rims, drop, loudass system, optima yellow top, dynomat, tint, and stubby antenna. I think that was all. You got to learn how to shop around and get legitimate hookups and get the most for your money.
Voice of Reason: Pay off your car, Invest it, stash 1 grand someplace in case something bad happens.
Voice of Reality: some combination of things off this list: rims, coilovers, exhaust, intake, strip club, booze

EVERYONE SUGGESTING STRIP CLUB AND SUCH....HE'S 16!!!!
That said how much is your car payment? Are you making payments on your car or is it your parents?
If it's you paying then....
Put 1500 on the loan, save 500, get a CAI, exhaust, rockblocker headlight protectors and tint. Lower it too, but I'd recommend saving the left over moola until I could get coilovers
If it's your parents then....
all the above some sway bars and some audio (that's probably over but....)
Whatever you do have fun with it. And yeah don't do it all at once. Also, if it's not already put it in the bank so you can gain some interest before/while you spend it.

Funny, I live in the OC and I took exactly that much off of my down payment for:
Tien SS+P's w/ EDFC
Headlightarmor.com 20%'s
Limo tint all windows including sunroof minus windshield
K&N Typhoon
Weapon R Header & S-pipe
CC.Com Full cat-back exhaust
Weapon R Engine Damper
Umnitza Demon Eyes
CC.Com shortshifter
And I'm pretty sure I went a little over $3500.
