2012 2LT Camaro

Hi and welcome!
I have a 2012 Camaro on order and it should be here by the end of this week or beginning of next week! I'm so damn excited!
I've wanted this car since they came out and it's pretty much my dream car you know? Previously I've had a 2008 Honda Civic to get me from Point A-----> Point B back home in Kuwait. Plus I didn't need a car since I got a scholarship to study abroad in the States, my new home is San Diego, CA for the next few years!

I've ordered a 2LT/RS Automatic 2012 Camaro Summit white. I don't need a V8 because of the insurance and gas prices. I'm supporting myself and those would put extra load on me.

Once my car arrives ( I hope it does) I will be doing these mods ( if you call them mods anyways) Nothing big..
My Car Mod's will mainly be Cosmetics!

CAR ARRIVED! Sept. 6th!

Installed:

Cosmetics
4 Windows Tinted
Matte Black Grand sport hash marks
Fading black gills
Blacked out the tail lights and side markers
Matte White Chevy Bowties
Vinyl wrapped the hood/roof/trunk in Matte Black
ZL1 vinyl below the front bumper (OFF)
Black plasti dipped rims
ZL1 Front Bumper conversion
2SSRS Quad Diffuser
Quad Tips

Performance
MRT V2 Axle-Back
CAI Air Intake Chrome
Resonator Deletes ( Not sure what category this falls under)

Soon To Be Installed:

Future Mods:
1' Drop
Concept Side Mirrors
ZL1 Grill
Side Skirts
RS Embroided Headrests
White Calipers
P13W High Powered Plasma LED Bulbs
V8 Brake Conversion
ZL1 Hood+ Inserts
Custom Fenders

Dream:
SuperCharger

LAST UPDATED: July 3rd '12

That's all I can think of right now I'll see whats missing and add it!

Thanks for reading.

IMO I would check about the exhaust system since I beleive that youl have the new V6 version. Might be some difference in the fitting. Just my 2¢.

*UPDATE* PICS BELOW
Thanks Guys! San Diego is actually always nice!
Today my Camaro got wrapped with Matte Black Scotch Print 3M.
This was so difficult to watch with the spoiler coming off, the car being debadged, seeing the residue from the tape! Couldn't let them take off the antenna so the guy played around with the tape. The roof was a pain in the ass even to watch them and omg the antenna wow!! It turned out awesome better than I expected it! Going back in tomorrow to get the bottom front done, hash marks redone in matte black, and the badges whitened out!

I think a white Camaro with hood/roof/trunk black is an awesome look. You're off to a great start!

Good looking car man I used to have Grand Sport marks on mine. I miss them. I like your Idea of the whole top being done in vinal. At first I was like what is this guy thinking but as soon as I saw it I think you made the right decision

**Tuesday Oct 4th**
Will save up for a Corsa CatBack will take approx 4-5 months! No rush.
Cold Air Intake - Still to be decided! Probably won't go for something over the top since I want Corsa
Black out the rims - Project for upcoming weekends with Plasti-Dip
Red or black Calipers ( which would look cleaner and nicer ) - Still deciding whether to Coat them or get covers. Covers are expensive but they seem more *sporty*
