How should I mod my camaro?

Hey!

My name is Clifton, and I'm 16. (possibly the youngest Camaro owner on the site? Idk, lol.) Below are some pictures of my car that I got back in March, and I am looking to mod it. I was thinking of getting a carbon fiber bowtie decal for the front and back, plasti-dipping my bezels, and/or plasti-dipping my rims, as well as getting a 20% tint and ground effects. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice on this, and what else I could do to make my car look great?

Thanks!

intake and exhaust. Get used to the car and it's power and learn to drive more before heavily modding. TONS of youngsters total cars that have far less power.

Welcome

Yeah, my parents and I talked about getting a borla exhaust system, but cosmetic features are important to me.

Thank you for the welcome, by the way!

I was 16 when I got mine. 17 now. I'd say get some rims and do cosmetic first

ABM - That's what I was thinking too. Any good rim brands to look into?

Dago - it's the same color, it's the lighting. One is underneath a tree in the shade, the other is in the sun in my driveway. It's metallic ashen gray.

At 16, the best mod you can buy is a high performance driving school, like this...

OMG. i dont know how you young teens afford cars like this. insurance? etc. gee, when i was 16, i was lucky to have a rusted out CHevelle with a 327 and no air in it. took it to college and then eventually bought a 73 Chevelle with air. both cars were 7 and 8 year old cars respectfully. i was grateful to have them. now at 55, i bought me a new 13 2LT vert. but congrats young men and be careful and responsible with these cars. alot of power there.

I want you to think of the most incredibly stupid thing that you could possibly do to your Camaro.

For example, race some idiot in down a crowded road.
Rev the engine and drop the clutch into the back of another car.
Try to take a corner your don't know like the back of your hand and end up wrecking your shiny car.
Or acting like an ASSHOLE at school because you have a nice car and getting your car keyed, egg'd, or stolen.

Oh and by the way listen to your god damn parents you may think you know everything in the world but your parents didn't reach the age they did or love you as much as they do out of DUMB LUCK, they know way more than you ****ing ever will right now so respect them.

For you, go ahead, dress that shit up. You currently can't/don't have respect for what that power can do, achieve great laps times, drag race like no other, and kill the people you love when you act a fool.

When you wrap your head around responsibility in life, then add horsepower.
