What free mods can be done to a c230

I had a 2000 Camaro SS for my last car. I am one that likes to always play with my car and i would like to see if there is any suggestions that you guys may have of things to do.

I have already taken the c230 off the back and replaced the hood star with a flat one. Im getting it tinted next week and thats about it besides clear corners, and then eventually i will get an exhaust and get a new pulley for the supercharger.

If you can think of any free/cheap things that i can do to play with my car please let me know. Thanks for your help

the shorter door pin is available for $1 each at the dealership. you can probably get'em for free from your sales if you ask.

H&R lowering springs are pretty cheap around $300. my friend got the roof and rear replica spoiler for $500.

you can also smoked the rear light DIY for $10 bucks.

You best bet is stickers, I know they are not free but for few bucks it gives you the most bang for the buck.

No, what they do is to not annoy you when you rest your arm on the door opening when driving. Which is what the current longer ones do. They really have to stop using those pins from the early 80s.
