If you were on a limited budget and had to decide between tinting your car or getting a rear lip spoiler, what would you do?

I know this is a question that has to do with preference, but I was just curious what people in the TM3 community thought.

My car is 2007 GS Black with, soon to be, 17 OEM rims and Black painted calipers.

Thanks.

It looks as though tint takes it!
I was going to check out one of our sponsors for a tint. I believe it is Audio Heaven. The work on the website looks solid.

Tint. Always the first mod you should have done on your car. Completely transforms the look.

Agreed. I was in the same situation, and I chose window tint. More privacy and looks so good!
Spoiler comes next lol

I have spent money on an iPod adapter and new 6x8 speakers. It will have to wait until mid July, when I save some money. Maybe a sponsor will have an early summer special or something.
I appreciate all the feedback. The tint appears to be the winner over the lip. BTW, I did find a Canadian seller (out of Oakville) who sells lips spoilers: http://cgi.ebay.ca/2004-2009-MAZDA-3-LIP-STYLE-SPOILER-/150457260458?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2307f399aa
