depends if you like cosmetic or performance.

I suggest exhaust as a top of the list item, make her loud.

lots of cosmetic things for low price but those are specific to you. I have a Black SS as well and love the chrome touches.

Full exhaust, headers/hi flow cats/catback exhaust. If you have the spare change, get a good tune(not some cheap chip tune)

Wouldnt do anything like a tune, or any non gm approved bolt ons. You wouldnt want to screw yourself out of a warranty for a few mods, unless you have the coin to supercharge or turbo it.

Cold Air Intake and either a cat back or axle back exhaust. I'm doing a Borla S axle back exhaust and the CAI for less than $900.

Catback, CAI, and MGW shifter.

Unless you don't care about voiding your warranty...

I'm in almost the same boat. I spent my money on a clear bra/tint, ******** stealth package, and Beltronics RX65 with Blendmount and Invisicord. Planning on some SS badges for the trunk lid and grill.

I'm pretty happy with the stock performance so far, but I may eventually get some non warranty-voiding performance mods down the line.

Headers/tune for sound and horsepower. Drop springs and sway bars for looks and performance.

...or a new savings account with a couple grand. Then keeping squirreling away until you can do something big all at once.
