1st choice: I would grab the hardtop while they are still easy to get.

2nd: F/I fund

Paint would make me nervous because it hard to find good automotive painters. If there is any evidence of a re-spray you car will be devalued. Changing the factory color will also devalue the car, but that would only matter if you sell her.

Spending your money is fun

good point about hardtop scarcity + next year blower pricing might change due to other options

Hard top, there's something about the looks of a Z4 roadster with a hardtop. I also second the recommendation of putting the remainder towards FI.

That hardtop looked like hell. It didn't fit well at all. Take a look at the pics of my hardtop it fits alot better

Get the diff. One of the oldest hotroding tricks in the book.

You know how expensive good liquor and good hookers are?! There ain't any "rest" to be wasted.

i voted F/I but now i wanna change my vote because waiting till next year-ish might be the better solution for a supercharger as AA is now stepping into the market!

Get your hard top n call it a day! put the rest towards next years supercharger fund

Actually I was going to say go to The PI and do hookers and booze for about a year on 3K put the Supercharger on credit and foreclose on the house. It's just money
