whats the next mod i should do?

Well because reasons. My move is not gona happen.
So I thought what should be my next mod to my car that's not having to do with wheels...... Those will come some time down. Probably when i wear out these tires.
Options
Sway bars.
Lowering springs.
Double x pipes... You read that right double X PIPES! Because f logic. science of sound.
Duraflex painted front bumper
New hood x paint
Suspension package/ sway bar.
Headlights (yawns boring) but its a option.
New brake rotors front new pads front new pads back stock rotors back.
Vinyl wrap for the hell of it. Stripes
Carbon fiber truck lid with wing lip $400+

Pleas note in looking off CARID.com
I never have got poor quality from them.

Foreseeable future cost in the next month is 600-750$
CAI is not on the table because CARB bs in my state I dont want to deal with

I'm not trying to pile on here, but from your other posts you make it sound like money is pretty tight. Maybe save the money for a rainy day?

Lets just not worry about me any my finances. My company is in for a rude awakening soon and my options for work have opened up to a lucrative amount. And I figured I want to do something to my car to celebrate ��

New cold air intake (CAI)? I didn't see that in your list. This was the first mod I did to mine and I love it.

I'm a little confused by your post....you say "Foreseeable future cost in the next month is 600-750$", but what does that mean? You'll have that much to play with for these mods?

Why not jump up to a 1LE suspension package?

Agree! Suspension is as important as adding power on these cars. Sways/endlinks, springs and strut bar at the very least. Bushings, chassis brace takes it to the next level.

My vote is for sway bars and endlinks, they really transform the cars handling to incredible level of grip by eliminating all body roll. One of my favorite and most noticeable mods and I've done just about everything to my SS

I'd hope to spend not the full amount on just one thing.
Next month tires the end ill have 600 700$ ish to play with. Because personal reasons that would of been 1500 but life happens.

Im just a little v6 I'm not sure it would be worth upgrading to the 1le for me. Also I have just 2 jack stands and a jack and a common ratchet set mm and standard. And a 30$ TQ wrench. I'd have to take it to a mechanic and explain how to upgrade to a 1le.

Now little suspension stuff I. Am all for I can change out sway bars and end links and probably get 2 buddies on a weekend to mess with lowering springs.
