Floormats.
No, seriously, floormats. I've got the black GT logo mats from AM.
Little things for the cockpit make a world of difference.

You could get this great performance mod, and have money left over:

Great idea!
Not much performance out there for a benjaman............how bout: hood pins, bullitt fuel door, smoked headlight covers, smoked tailight covers, that blackout magnetic rear panel (sounds kinda cheesy????), shorty antena, caliper paint(just did mine), gt500 pedal covers......all can be found at AM.
Or some blingy items from SHR....

Hey now the magnetic panel rocks!
I got one. Sounds like there isn't a whole lot of performance stuff for 100 bucks unless used of course. I may have to hunt around for deals then.

Not really. Fortunately mine went on real smooth so you can't even tell it's magnetic and it was only about 30 bucks. If you steal that you gotta be desperate because it isn't worth a whole lot. If you steal that and you have a black car then you're a dumbass and will probably get run over by a truck at some point in life probably while doing stuff that's just as dumb.

Aw.....c'mon that thing has to get you like 150 more HP...
Unless you install it backward, then you'll have the HP of a Prius
As far as real performance items, yeah, $100 won't get much.
It could get you some small suspension bits like the UCA, or some nice dress up items. I like the idea of the CDC sequentials too...I'll be getting a set soon.
Why don't you spend just a little more and pick yourself up a set of Underdrive Pullies? At least it'll be performance you can feel....and it'll increase your mileage a little too.
You can get them through Summit like I did for about $160.

Hey hey! don't knock the Prius.... I drive one for work and it does the job nicely especially when I have to creep up on someone (I work for the government and I am a civil service processor).
The UCA was high on my lists of things to do however the Watts link may have ruined that idea because it's in the way. It would be a whole week-end with help just trying to get the thing off and installing the UCA I can't really afford the downtime.
I thought about that but I'm a little concerned about two things.
1. It gets hot down here I'm a little bit concerned about cooling issues that may arise from underdriving the water pump.
2. Balancing issues, I'm going to lighten up the drivetrain a lot (Flywheel, Clutch, and Driveshaft). I heard some horror stories about people getting UDPs with lighter drivetrain throwing the rotating mass in the engine out of balance and causing a disaster.
