Default Best "Toy" Purchase for S2000

I have a side job coaching soccer to little kids where I use all the proceeds towards my S2000; my slow growth slush fund. I make about $150/month so I've used the first few paychecks to get a plasti-dip gun and plasti-dipped my car. Now I'm saving up the paychecks again for another toy in the $300-500 range. I'm just wondering what "Toys" you've gotten for your S2K.

I'm leaning towards either a GoPro or a radar detector. Maybe an after-market audio system although I do like to keep all the items stock.

Any essential toys out there? Is that an oxymoron?

Unless it has all already been done, I'd focus on maintenance before toys.

Or tires. Tires are fun, though nice ones are most than $350-400.

A red S2000 (AKA cop radar magnet) without a Valentine 1 is an oxymoron. It's not a toy, though, it's an essential.

Not a fan of spending money just for the sake of spending money -- save it, max out your 401k, whatever -- doesn't sound like you have any specific needs for your S, so why waste it!

I can't really think of anything super cheap for the S2000. Maybe an intake...but almost all of them are so ugly.

Slush fund.

Can't go wrong with aftermarket goodies.

Well, if you're starting fresh, I'd say a Beltronics Stir is the better way to go. I have a Valentine One, but the STiR is the class of the class at the moment-although it's about twice as expensive.
