Nitrous Kit or DVD/GPS Navigation System

Alright guys it''s down to the wire. After I build my new computer my last big purchase for a year or so will be coming up shortly. Since I will be graduating from college soon I plan on saving up for an apartment with my chick just so I can live out of my parents house. I have a problem though. Most likely I will end up moving but who really knows. I have talked to TX Motorsports about an Complete nitrous kit from Fuel pump to bottle warmer and purge kit. I love this idea and with the 50shot I will definently be happy. On the other hand I suck with directions so If I move It would be kind of nice to know where Im going, so I have just started to look at this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-0ovODgm...&avf=Y&search=
This thing looks friggin awesome and I actually found it for $400-$500 less than at crutchfield. The installation alone will costs close to $300. I have also been considering Viper's best alarm on the market according to custom sounds which around here is really the only dealer, and that is $600 for a full install with the little remote LCD screen and automatic start and everything. So if you have an opinion I would like to here it. Of course I will always want HP over accessories but those two items are the last big purchase. Nitrous or DVD/GPS.

I don't intend to step on anyone else's suggestions here, but getting your own place will cost more than you figure. Save the money for now, until you get moved in. After that, see if you still have enough money for the nitrous and a paper map. Just my .05 worth. Was .02, inflation.
