A very short back story: I've loved Camaro's since I was a young boy and always been a huge fan of all Amarican Muscle cars. Once I was in high school and first heard that they were going to re-manufacture the '10 Camaro I promised myself and all of my friends that I would own one someday. Through furious saving and help from my mommy I was able to purchase my very own 2012 1LS on January 13th, 2012. I bought her with a mere 134mi.

Followed Pictures are as she is Today!

Stripes
 

First picture is crappy yes, but the only picture I have from straight off the lot.

Once I ripped the front bowtie off I realized that the first thing I wanted on her was stripes, having a non-factory spoiler made that a little hard but the shop I went to (Tulsa CarFX) did a fantastic job and have helped me with a lot so far.

Next please!
 

Having the immortalized "Mod Fever" along with wanting to spend all my income on mods was hitting me hard so I painted my front bowtie black and white and put it back on. Immediately following that I installed Oracle interior Dome LED, footwell LED, and trunk LED all in Blue.

Very Nice Start....

Good looking car and some well thought out ideas so far...

New Shoes
 

Saved up the money to get some new shoes and get rid of those fugly stock LS rims and tires. Got a set of 20" SS wheels from CarFX and they painted them to look like Carbon Fiber with a white Pinstripe around the edges, stuck some Pirrelli P'Zero's on them cause that's what she wanted and now she looks SOOO much better.

Thank you very much, just starting the long fun game of deciding what i want and drooling over the things others have.

so i was reading in the forums about Plasti-Dip and wanting to try it out so on a forum high i went out and got a can at Lowes and started the conversion of my tail light bezels. First I took of the bezels which was surprisingly easy and managed not to break a single clamp which I was excited about, having larger hand was trickier for me to get the bottom side of the outside bezels out so I just stuck a shim in and forced them out. For as new as the car was i was really surprised at how dirty it was underneath the bezels, even managed to find a helicopter in there lol. So i got the bezels taped off and ready to be painted, while my first two soft coats of plasti-dip were drying i decided to remove the dealership sticker from the back bumper so its nice and clean now. Finished up painting about 10mins before it started to rain thank God, but immediately had to go to work. Got home from work about an hour ago and was able to pop the Bezels right back in and they look soooo much better. spending time on this forum is definitely benefiting my build.

You should look into painting your brake calibers I think it would look real good with your new wheels. G2 has a good kit that is about 50 bucks I think and they have a bunch of colors. Just an idea :) good luck with the build

nice mods

Love the rims in CF.

Looks killer, BTW, what rear spoiler is that, it looks bad ass!

I was hoping to get white covers that have "camaro" on them, idk if that's possible i haven't really looked into it yet

Thanks Silver

Me too Pierre, i've only seen one other set with the mock cf paint on there and it was at the same place that painted mine, but they had an SS on one of the rims, the guy offered to pitch in a free LS on each but i decided against it because the pinstripe contrasts it enough

Thanks! its actually the reason i went with this Camaro when i bought it, i was looking at more from different dealerships but i loved the look of the spoiler so i wanted it. As far as the spoiler goes i have no clue though :facepalm: cause i bought it with the spoiler already installed i never paid attention to what it was

Plasti-Dip Day 2!
 

With how great my bezels turned out I was stoked to try and paint the trunk cover (idk what to call it?) so i woke up early this morning and busted out some tape, newspaper, and plasti-dip. Took me 40mins alone just to make sure my top line was as straight as possible. i love the new look of it though, so happy i was introduced to plasti-dip.

Been a While
 

Been a couple months since i've gotten a chance to update. So here it Goes!
First off got my cold air intake from CAI installed, got my Hurst STS but cant install it yet, got my Fog Lights from AAC installed and DIY Painted my steering wheel bezel

I agree!!
 

Chef Camaro,
That spoiler was MADE for your car!!.....Looks outstanding!!......ABL99...:chevy:

Thanks!

MOAR PLASTI-DIP!
 

Still addicted to plasti-dip and wanting to test out visual concepts on my car i went ahead and pulled out the interior trim and door panels to change that ugly gray vinyl interior into nicely new white interior. While at that i went ahead and peeled of my first trunk job and pry'd the bowtie off and re-did the whole back end

Mods coming along great! Looks awesome! :w00t:

Thanks! You were the first S/W Camaro on here that i started to get ideas from :respekt:

where did you buy your plasti dip from? very nice, I love your paint job!

Dang Boy your mods are amazing! I love what you have done. :headbang:

You can get plasti dip from any Lowes or Ace Hardware (idk how global they are) and its only like $5-6 a can

Thank you :thumbup:

Big Update!!
 

Big news in from an absence in posts, I now have PFADT 1.25" Drop Springs, PFADT Sport Sways, hurst STS, all in my garage waiting to be installed, I also have ordered my MPD1 Z-Force Ram Air Hood to go with my Cai inc CAI and once I get the hood painted and installed I'm going to St. Louis, MO to get NS-3 Stripe Package from Nights Shades

looks like u got the wrong shifter that looks like its for a v8 not a v6

You're going to love the new stance after the drop springs are installed! Thanks for choosing Pfadt!

Looks good you pansy

like the spoiler, car is coming out really ba man keep up the modding

it actually is the correct shifter, just the wrong knob, for some reason that is the way Hurst sells it and in order to get the V6 pattern knob you have to pay extra, but i got the gloss black Hurst emblem shifter for free :thumbup:

Thanks Blake! When are you going down to Kevin's to put all your new lighting mods in?

Hopefully soon. Whenever Kevin is free

Car looks great CC! You just gave me a fantastic Idea on the plastidip!

How'd you do the fogs? Was it hard? Thinking about doing that to mine.

Fog's were SUPER easy,i think it took longer to jack the car and get it secure then to install them. They're an AAC kit you can buy for $280 http://www.automotivelightstore.com/lsfogpackage.aspx there's the link and like i said earlier very easy to install

Lots done in 2 months, pictures are being uploaded to the computer right now for uploads

Major Upgrades! and a Completely new Look
 

Did work on upgrading my stereo, added 2 MTX 12" 4500 Thunder Subs with handmade ported boxes and a Volfenhag 1600w Amp mounted to my frame and a 1000w Capacitor.

Got my new MPD1 "Z-Force" Ram Air hood painted and installed too! and while it was in the shop they did a Rear Fascia and Trunk Lid black-out in a special ordered Carbon Fiber Vinyl to match my theme.

Great job so far chef, but my fav has to be the pfadts...any pics of the new stance from the side?

With the new hood installed it calls for an alteration to my CAInc CAI, so the original top glass is removed and replaced with rubber seals. I also took the time to paint my engine cover Chevy emblem black and white to match my theme and get away from the gold and silver. Did a personal install of my Carbon Fiber Gills, to help the color "pop." Also got my AAC Illuminated Bowtie painted in black and white and installed! yay!

Uploading the pic's right now Calikenn

Got the Hurst STS Installed. PFADT Lowering Spings, and PFADT Sport Sway bars. I LOVE the new stance, and the handling from the upgraded sways. The first picture is of the original stance, then to the new stance

Also got the AAC Concept Sidemarkers in Summit White with the additional "Ghosted" option
