First Mod(s) Suggestions

Will have money to blow bytime my car gets built and shipped.
So i'm lookin for suggestions on what some good base mods are to look at, preformance or cosmetic.

I'll probs debadge and possibly also concidering spaceing the Cobalt letters out mid trunk where the bowtie was.

And unfortunalty i couldnt get my dad to cosign for a manual? (lame) so forget the suggestions for a stick, like shortshifters and all that, it will just depress me ha.

Intake, cat-back, progress sway bar, and Sportlines by Eibach would be a great start.

lmao. how about engine swap? maybe i could find a 402 bigblock on ebay... my balt would haul... hell yes...

So far, Im thinkin I'm gonna start lookin at some cat-backs, and get that ordered. anyone have videos of the diff brands so i can get a taste of the sounds? And whats the best bang for your buck?
Then look into some intakes

And anyone knows about thoes SSC springs?

Tires that come on the LS suck. Paint the headlights. It's a PAIN IN THE ASS, but worth it. Your dad not signing for a stick sucks, but at least he helped you get a nice car. My first car was a $125 POS, but it was mine.
