2013 2SS RS Camaro (MUST HAVE MODS?)

Okay, so I was contemplating manual or auto. I'm going to just get the Auto due to the situation locally, with all the bad traffic.

What are some must have mods for the Camaro 2SS? I'd like to spend no more than $5,000-$7,000. I'd like easy DIY installation, (link to product/guide appreciated)

What I'm looking for in the mods:
Cosmetic
Performance
Sound

Offtopic:
What exactly would I have to do to my 2SS stock to have it drag ready?


List em Gents.

Lol this thread is gonna get ugly 13 camaro 2LT the manual guys get really butt hurt when someone mentions the preference of an auto to a manual. It suggests that the manual isn't that awesome and they start losing there "manliness" very quickly. Just saying. watch how many are gonna chip in.

I know @SuperSport2011

I have Osgood–Schlatte(Horrible Knee Pains) in both legs, along with my career choice as an WLEO I don't think I'll be in the mood to shift after a long ass day/night. They can get butthurt all they want, it's my car not theirs. Drivers choice, anyways, HardT, would you like to suggest a better mod besides a d!c$shift? (i'm playing)

I'm 25 years old healthy no problems with legs but I went really far out my way to get an auto, turned down many manuals. I honestly couldn't love my car more, the switch between paddles and auto is just super cool and very enjoyable. When I show people all the different features the auto has they get amazed and understand why I got it. But on a side note I'd look into "range technology" to disable afm and the beauty off it is that it won't void warranty and all you have to do is plug it in.

Is there any downside to disabling AFM?

I get my floormats for free, my uncle is highup engineer for WeatherTech. I have family who paint cars as well. Touching up paint will cost me next to nothing.

Dude already asked about drag racing, so the auto is alright

Ok, so you asked about Cosmetic and Drag Racing, I kind of have done a little of this, and then a little of that.

What color is your car and do you have stripes,

Because you can do a strip package, custom side marker lights, custom bowties, painted tail light bezels, painted "CAMARO"s on sides, SS flooor mats

If you are serious about wanting to drag race it then think about tires, and don't forget if you upgrade the engine, you have to upgrade from the tranny back so you don't shatter everything

I'll probably end up geting the SS Floor mats, i'll dig around in my pocket.
Here is the design cosmetically:

Orcale ColorShift Halos, BowTie, and Stirp for SS hood insert. ColorShift L.E.D's inside. I thought about a spoiler, but was eh. Definitely not getting a sunroof, don't like them. Drag racing was just a thought. not sure if I'll go through with it. I want my car blacked out, this includes window tints, as dark as it legally can be. Smoked headlamps and taillights. That's the forsure things.
