if you only had $250 to spend..
Ok, so recently bought my camaro ss. And I wanna get the most out of it. So after ALL my other responsibilitys (saving, house payment, car payment, car.health.dental insurance ect..) I only have about $250 of play money for the car each month. So I already have cai, and cat back exhaust.. so what next to get the most out of it $250 at a time. I'm not to worried about cosmetics at this point, mainly bolt ons and suspension. Brand specific please, I've come from the Nissan world of mods and not super familiar with what's good for these cars. Much thanks everyone!

I never really understood the whole "fixed budget" concept of "...after bills I have x-amount of money each month to play." No offense or anything, I'm speaking in general. I have never had just one fixed, every month, bill schedule. I mean, things come up such as the need to buy a new appliance, or repairs on something, replacement, registrations and inspections, "other" toys (maybe I just have too many interests?), and so forth. Even things like electricity fluctuates in cost, unless you are set up on a yearly average schedule.
That said, I'm not sure I'd set a need to spend the $250 on something each month. Instead, create a list of things you want to do over time and go after purchasing them as funds permit. Some may be smaller costs, others may require a few months worth of the $250-a-month-surplus.

I would save up about 3k if I were you and compile a list of what you want and buy either one big expensive mod or buy several smaller ones.

Put it on your car loan and then once thats paid off, then start modding so you aren't tempted to upgrade again.
