How to spend $1100!!!

Hi Gang, just a quick one, I have received a stimulus package from Australian Govt in the form of $800 and have $300 as pocket change. I want to use the stimulus package to stimulate my 2003 4.4 X5. Following is my list of mods but due to my budget i think i can only do 2 of them at them.

1. Bake headlights, remove lenses etc and put CCFL rings. Cost = $400. i have asked a professional to do it thats why the big $$$

2. Front Spoiler. This item is not available so i buying it off ebay, cost would be $295 inclusive of shipment.

3. SMG steering wheel. Cost around $700.

Based on the above, which 2 mods should i do.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the info, i really appreciate it. I dont want to do the angel eyes myself, i am very bad with tools and i dont want to f__k up the headlights. I will be doing the spoiler and angel eyes. The smg will have to wait for now and with the remaining $$$ i will be heading over to 'Kittens' for a nice massage.
P.s will post pictures (of the car) once completed.
once again thanks
