That is awesome for you man. Have fun with her. She's beautiful. Now I must ask you. What is your first mod going to be?

I'm glad to hear it hit home for someone else. It wasn't easy writing that part.
I'm not sure about my first mod. When I was thinking I was getting a 2010 SS I had all sorts of mods planned. Now that I have the 45th, I feel like it's more of a collectors/special edition vehicle and that I shouldn't mess with it too much. I'd like to keep this Camaro for the rest of my life and restore it (if it needs it) many years from now when I get much older.
Mods I've considered are ones that are easily reversible:
-CAI (not sure which brand to go with)
-Window tint
-Tail light lens tint
Other ideas?
Maybe headers? I feel like that might be a bit much for now.

I also love the exhaust as is. I don't want to mess with it. It sounds great.

Oh and I won't be doing anything rim wise either I don't think. My old man got a 5 year road hazard warranty so I'd rather ride around on the rims knowing a $50 deductible will replace them if I need it.

I will know if you read it if you reply on the last post
Your car is awesome bro!

Haha yes he does. He always calls me his "best buddy". I wanted to get that as a vanity plate for the Camaro but it wouldn't fit and I couldn't find a good way to shorten it. :(

And I'll be more than happy to read about you're '68! I'm always excited to hear others' stories.
Thanks for reading mine as well. I know I probably dragged it out and got carried away, haha.

Side note: How are his DRLs on at the same time as the headlights?

Thanks! I'll sure be enjoying it!
I'm pretty sure that's when I hit the lock button when it was dark outside and they both came on. I was all "ooooohhhhhh" and snapped a pic with my iphone, hahaha.
Wish I could run outside and confirm that for you, but I'm a good 200 miles from my lovely camaro.

Awesome

It's quite a feeling and every time I get in the Camaro I'll remember why and how I got it. I'd like to do the same for mine, but that's a bit away I think, haha.
Beautiful '98 you have there by the way.


Thanks for the kind words everyone. I appreciate the warm welcome!
