$3k to Spend

I've got $3000 that I want to put into my car. I have absolutely no idea what to do though lol. I've got a full exhaust already, springs and sways, and a full sound system. I'd really like to do wheels, but I only really want some Forgelines and those cost over my budget without tires even in the equation my next option is to do the cosmetic body mods and paint stripes, but I fear that it too would cost over my budget in the end...

So, my question is simply asking for advice. If you had $3k to dump into your SS, what would you do?

I would just keep your eyes open for some slightly "used" Forgelines!!!! Ebay or here on the Camaro5 classifieds. Have you settled on a specific model yet, or are you open to differnt styles. Some are less expensive than others. Maybe contact Nineball, tell him your budget, and see what he can do for you...??? Just a thought.

Well that's the thing, I know what I want, I just don't have the funds yet lol. I'm a minimum wage student working 25 hours a week so cash comes slow

Yea there's a specific model I have in mind. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head though. It's a 5 spoke and I think on Nineball's site they were 3100 which is actually fine, but there's also tires to worry about. I'll likely just save a little longer for them or I'll go up to my shop and get a quote on a VVT cam install and if that's less than 4k I may do that.

I guess my budget is actually closer to 3750 or so lol

Edit: Actually they're $3750. The SP3P.

If your looking for rims, look at the thread in the Tires/Wheels section. Ivan is selling zl1 replicas around x-mas for $1600.

A student working 25 hours a week that is strapped for cash and has $3,000 to spend on his car, but actually doesn't have the $3,000 yet? What am I missing here?
