Cosmetic: I'm a big fan of the red/black contrast so I would suggest tint, black overlays for the SS badges, plasti-dip the wheels or powdercoat, 3'' chrome exhaust tips, DEPO headlights (inside is blacked out)

Mechanical: Other than maintenance type stuff (cheap), I'm not sure what to suggest other than some perf. mods (not so cheap lol). Shift kit and a tranny cooler are on the cheaper side. Maybe a homemade CAI? Downpipes for our cars are on the cheaper side too (if you want to go cat-less).

Hope that helps a bit!

Ebay's your best bet. I got my set a couple months back without a hitch. Shipping took like 3 days.

You can get it at a local hardware store. Home Depot and Lowes carry it.

You should be able to get the depos on amazon. Beware tho - mine aren't sealed right and I have to keep finding leaks.

Unless you want to spend the money, just do it yourself. I bought all my supplies for less than 5 dollars and they look as good as the 160 dollar ones!

I paid $240 including taxes for my Impala and I got the 6" banner on the front windshield. So $250 seems a little high considering the MC has 2 less windows then the Impala.

I personally go through Ziebart everytime. They are a little more expensive then other places around here but they do exellent work. With their regular tint they give a year warranty and with the premium tint they warranty it for as long as you own the car. Like I said before I paid $240 for mine, but $40 of it was for the 6" banner on the front (which I think is a must on any car with tint). They were charging $180 for the car without the banner (5% tint), so I would imagine it would only be around $160 for you with 2 less windows. I know there is a Ziebarts right there in South Beloit, IL that should be pretty close to you. If your still looking for something cheaper then I know my cousin told me after I got it done that he knows a place that would do it for $150 on my car and I can ask him again what that place was when I talk to him later today. But at the end of the day you might very well make the difference up in gas getting to Milwaukee. Me personally, I would check out the Ziebart in Beloit and see what they want to charge you. You can't beat quality work with a warranty attached to it. If you do end up wanting the name of that other place just let me know. Good luck!

And if you go to their website you can print off a $25 dollar coupon off of any service.
