2011 RJT 2SS RS Sketch's Car Journal
Just a little thread to help me keep track of my mods. Most mods will be done myself. I will give credit to those that deserve it. I will also post before and after pictures for comparison. Thanks for viewing.
My first car was a 1996 Honda Accord. It was a High School graduation gift from my parents. It served me well until I got into an accident in October of 2010. Since the Accord was my only means of transportation, I needed a new car. I fell in love with the Camaro after seeing it on the Transformers movie so I started looking for one. On November 24, 2010 I picked up my new 2011 RJT 1LT RS from Portor Chevrolet of Newark Delaware. I was so excited to finaly get my Camaro. Here some first pics After a few years I decide I wanted a V8 and the hunt began to find a 2011 RJT 2SS RS. After a lot of searching and patience, I finally found one in New Jersey. On March 10th 2014 I traded in my V6 for a 2011 RJT 2SS RS. Since it was the same color, transferring my cosmetic mods to the new Camaro was easy. V6 used to look Like: 2011 2SS RS: Mods: Cosmetic: 5% Tint by Accurate Tint December 2010 Painted Calipers August 2011 GM Ground Effects June 2012 ZL1 Bumper Conversion May 2013 Painted Bow Ties May 2013 Ghosted side markers May 2013 Panted break disks June 2013 Mud flaps June 2013 Red interior stitching June 2013 Black 10 Spoke 1LE/ZL1 Wheels June 2013 3 Step Opticoat September 2013 Performance: RX Catch Can CAI Intake VMAX Throttle Body JBA Headers (Not yet installed) Magnaflow Catback (not yet installed) Wish List: Red foot well lighting GM High Wing Spoiler Sinister Hood BREMBO 1N5.8001A2 - GT Series Front Slotted Red Brake Kit (6-Piston Caliper, 355x32 1-Piece Rotor) BREMBO 2P5.8001A2 - GT Series Rear Slotted Red Brake Kit (4-Piston Caliper, 365x28 1-Piece Rotor) Im Currently Deployed and will continue to work on my Camaro and post pictures when I return.
