better buys?
ok well i have some money for my b-day for my car and having some trouble deciding on what to do with it lol... heres what i need for sure
fuel pump: roughly 60 after shipping
tie rods: $22
now here are my options.
some Diamond clear headlights off ebay (Depo) for a grand total of $83.
or replace my hood, fender, and my trunk lid for like $115 from Chris. but the downfall to that would be it would most likely me a multi-colored car for a while (very long while...) but it would get rid of the rust for the most part.
which options would u guys choose?

I'd go with the headlights and search for good body panels in your color.

Headlights for sure. Unless you look around and find the body parts the color of your car. Nothing worse than a multicolored car that wont get painted soon. They look like trash, cars I always make fun of! So, headlights, then worry about finding the correct color parts to match your car.

I understand rust is bad. BUT, if its not real noticable and you dont have to replace NOW, then look around or find a local painter to paint match the parts for cheap. Id rather have rust than a car with a blue hood, black fenders, purple trunk, and a red door.
Ewwww!
Ewwww!

Or just pm a few people on the org that always have neon body parts. If you wanna go that route then do it. But do it right, the same color, even if some parts are more faded than other or what not, they will at least be the same color. Know what I mean?

I would personally go with hood and trunk , bc on my old first gen, the cancer just got even worse, and since we live in good ole Ohio, the rain and salt will just keep taking its toll, trust me I would replace the hood and trunk, but thats just me
