stock SS with $500 to spend HELP!!!!

Hello I'm new on Camaro5, THIS PLACE IS THE $#!T. Anyway I have a 2010 SS with 6spd. I had the dealership put in a hurst short shifter and I LOVE IT. Now I have a little cash burning a hole in my pocket.... any ideas? The car is fast enough so I was thinking about bigger amp for stereo or interior lights, but go fast stuff is fun too. If you recommend something tell me why you like it over other products....THANKS!!!!!!

Skip shift eliminator and a muffler delete. Use anything that's left to toto the track.

1. Windows tinted (saves interior)
2. Flowmasters or magnaflow muffs only (you can do whole exhaust later
3. Adam's wax or other good detail supplies

That will put a dent in $500.

When you say windows tinted, do you mean the cheap plastic film that sticks to the windows? Any other way of tinting them without replacing the glass?

^^^ I agree ^^^ also...you could get a CAI but that will use most of the $500 up. You will be amazed at how much just tint the windows will make your car look better. Just tell the tint shop to do "limo" (also known as 5%) on all 5 windows.

Brother THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! AND I totally agree, Muffler delete is the most awesome without spending 3K to 5K for a full on exhaust system, I actually got a nice lil HP boost for around 200 bucks! Did you know your car has 4 mufflers and 4 cats? By current law standards in most states you can remove the pumpkins(big ass heavy things at very back) and ONE cat per side??? Dude my bro has a vete with a full on custom Borla / custom made huge diameter exhaust on his C6 vette and when he heard my car he thought I'd purchased LT headers and a Borla attack system! Do the muffler delete if you're keeping your warranty and not doing extensive engine mods. Take one cat(the one with no sensor) and remove the pumpkins(for a piece of straight pipe) and you'll freakin LOVE IT! sounds like a MONSTER! One vet to another (unless you just love a stealthy really quiet car) I highly suggest this, I agree with the above posts!
