How to spend $1,000 on my '8?

I'd spend it on a cheap used motorycle so I could drive something that cost me less per mile in gas.
I would actually spend it on an ecu. This can not only affect power but also fuel economy if tuned for it.

It's almost all cosmetic for me now, but there's $2270 of stuff on my list.
Debadge 500.00
Front Air Dam 346.15
Rear Spoiler 300.00
MP3 Player 267.60
Exhaust Finishers 186.88
Zaino Ultimate Kit 116.95
Fuel Door 84.00
Accelerator Pedal 82.20
Brake Pedal 74.40
Front Splash Guard 71.00
Rear Rotary Accent 63.25
Rear Splash Guard 62.40
Front Rotary Accent 52.33
Floor Mats 43.60
Foot Rest 19.50
The prices for parts are from Trussville Mazda. If I had to pair it down to $1000, I'd eliminate the debadge, front air dam, the spoiler and the splash guards. Total of the paired down list: $990.71.
I've also been considering tinted windows, but the laws in Illinois are so restrictive it doesn't seem worth it

I believe he said two or three are just glued on... they can be removed with a hairdryer and dental floss. I think the "M" on the hood and at least one of the other decals in the rear have posts. To me, the car looks much better without emblems, but $500 is too much.
