Question What to get? (Read post before voting, please)

My wife is letting me pick up a few small items for my car for my b-day, and I figured that I'd keep with tradition (last year I got my STi shift knob) and spend it on mostly cosmetic bling. I have about $100-$150 to work with.

So here's what I'll definitely be picking up:

Small "Subaru" chome badge. This is what you see on the '06 Imprezas just to the right of the trunk keyhole. I want to debadge the large S U B A R U and add this.

Brake caliper paint. Yeah, I know. . . but I hate seeing my nasty plain calipers staring at me through my wheel spokes, and I can't upgrade my brakes in DSP - so I'm going to paint them gloss black. Unassuming, but much more attractive, I think.

Now here's where the question comes in. Those two purchases only take up about $50 of my funds, and I can't decide on my final item. My choices are:

1) Painted side mirror skins. I've decided that I don't like the way the plain black mirror skins look on my RS, and I'd like to have a color-matched set like the WRX or STi do.

2) STi black floormats. These are heavy black floormats embroidered with the cherry-red STi logo. I'd like to make the interior a bit nicer to sit in, and I think these would help. The driver's mat also has a heel pad, which would be a plus over the crappy stock RS mats (which are already falling apart). These would also add to an "STi" interior theme by matching my shifter and shift pattern badge.

3) Prodrive floormats. These are heavier than the OEM mats and are grey with the Prodrive logo. These would be an amusing match to my Prodrive springs, but they are $15 more than the STi mats and I'd prefer black to grey.

So. . . vote!
