Personally I feel as though I'm the best mod on the site. I'll take your $250 bucks. Thanks!


FIRST MOD EVER SHOULD BE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!

In all honesty, what do you want to do with your car? There is no best mod overall. If you want visual impact, I prefer the heritage grill or LED/SMD sidemarker lights.

If you want performance, Possibly look at Intakes or brake ducting from the ZL1. I believe it fits the SS and will allow a little bit more air to help cool your brakes.

+1 on the fire extinguisher.

I have the intake. Brake ducting, huh? I'll have to look into that.

Best mod? Depends on where you want to go .. I fully agree so far; however, the skip shift will probably be the best mod in my opinion. Do you really want the Camaro to drive you .. or you to drive the Camaro.

Nuff said!

It's just a small plastic piece that routes some air from the lower grill into the wheel well. I believe the ss has the same mounting holes for the piece. I have no idea on what it costs though. Those are the only things that I know of the could be under 250. Short throw shifter is another option also.

I have the following: short throw, CAI and black bowties.
The brake ducting sounds interesting. Still on the fence with the catch can. Several mechanics/car guys have said it's not necessary. I was thinking about a strut tower brace and drive shaft brace.

If you don't know what you want, you are simply wasting money.

I know what I want; it's MORE than $250. That's why I used the term "thoughts" in the first post. I'm just looking to bounce around some ideas.

+1 on the catch can, then put the rest toward that expensive mod you are looking at.

Best regards,

Short throw shifter is the best one close to your price range. I have the MGW with the composite race knob and I love it. Window tint, and heritage grill are great too.
