First time Camaro Owner/New to Camaro5

[Mysteek]

That they do! I have seen many and all different colors! I just didn't want to take away the sleek look of solid black, but I guess it's not going too bold with spears! I saw on PFYC.com they are on national back order of the interior trim kits, is there somewhere else I can go for those?

Just to be an utter temptress here: there are performance mods you can do that won't void your warranty, you know*. A cold air intake = 14 horsepower, increased torque, better sound.

*preferably check with your dealer, of course.

WELCOME!!

Hmmm!! That's tempting!! I have been wanting to do that, but wasn't sure if it would void or not!! I haven't looked too much into it!! I will now!! Thanks!! What would you recommend?? I have seen so many different CAI's on here I wouldn't even know where to begin. I'm a complete newbie here!! Totally DUH with all this, but I want to learn!

Welcome, and congrats on the new ride ENJOY

I was thinking of going the reverse bumblee route with mine since there aren't any down here like that. Suggestions? Comments?

I agree with you there, spears do look good on a black car! Just make sure you do a color combination YOU love, it is after all, your car!

CONGRATS AND WELCOME!

Thanks I'm stoked about my ride! Well, I actually thought of doing the matte black stripes at first cuz they look bad a$$, but then I started seeing pics of the spears. That changed my mind for me there, and all the different color combos on here it was easier to see what I wanted mine to look like. I saw a black camaro on here with the black and yellow combo exterior and interior, looked SWEEET!! That's when I decided to do yellow spears on the hood! I also want to get the yellow interior trim kit, black/yellow fitted seat covers, crome kick plates, and get the 4 gauge installed!! What about the gills on the side? I have like some of the cars when they have them painted to match the strips/spears, but I haven't like other. I don't think they will look good yellow, should I get those with a fade in grey/silver? Of course I will need some direction on engine/exhause mods. I wanna learn this car inside and out!!

I totally 100% agree with the previous post on V6 or V8. They are ALL outstanding. Great color choice, too!

Four months ago, I was exactly where you are now. I also started with the window tints. See my sig for both cosmetic and performance mods. For the majority of those, I went through sponsors here on the forum. All has gone well with that. PM me if you have any questions on these mods. Would be glad to help.

My dealer had no problems with my CAI and Corsa exhaust. I actually checked with them, with print outs of the parts, before I had them installed.

Thanks! I see V8s around town and always feel like they laugh cuz I have a V6, but I still love my car!! It's nice to know 5th Gens are a lot more welcoming to all engine sizes!! I will definitely have to do as you suggested and print out the parts and run it by them before installation, great idea!!

That V6 puts down 300 hp and is better than about 90% of other cars on the road. JUST saying. In fact, in the gas crisis we're in, I think the V6s are outselling the V8s now. I'm a mod noob myself, but you can get loads of info in all the relevant forums. Any CAI should be fine warranty-wise. Again, check w/ dealer if possible.

Oops, meant to comment on the spears, too. I am seriously considering Victory Red spears on mine. I think they look great. If I do, I will get them painted on, then clear coated. My dealer's paint shop is really good. They do a lot of custom work.
