Yellow Jacket Update - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Again, I would like to thank everybody for the ideas and the support from the forum

! The car is stunning and beyond what I expected. I ordered my DD with 2SS 1LE, NPP, Recaros, Moonroof, and Navigation. With the excitement of the car and with all the new things to learn, I guess I was overcome by perma-grin! I didn't pay any attention to the sound system. I told my salesperson that I would handle that part, it would just give me a reason to sit in the car and enjoy the experience all the more.
I drove from the dealership to my work to do the following things. Changed to conventional oil, added the gold magnetic plug, rock guards, skip shit bypass, 1LE emblems, awesome custom SS floor matts, and yes the fuse pull! I wonder where I got some of these ideas from! That was round 1 and now to drive some. I didn't turn the sound system on for 3 days, to busy driving or working! The exhaust was my music, just running through the gears. Guess what, my car doesn't have; navigation! I see it on my order print out, but the car window sticker doesn't show it. I am going in to the dealership early next week for them to also look at my wrap. When I got to my work my co-workers and I noticed that someone wrote my camaro in the wrap, it was faint. They then tried to scratch it out

. You only see it at a certain angle, but it is there. Perma-grin striks again! I guess I was to busy looking at Dat Ass!
I am 6'1", and I fit quite comfortable in the car, no clearence issue even wth my 1LE hat on. The seats are awesome

. Today is window tint and clear bra. This weekend an oil change, along with the clutch reservoir, and catch can. I can tell ya'll one thing, this car is freakin awesome. Now I am just going to enjoy the ride and keep on grinning

Great set of options! That yellow is definitely a head turner

Yellow is an amazing color that you don't see very often. Here's mine!

Love your write up and enthusiasm. Brings back fond memories when my Red Dragon and I were making our relationship changes. J

Beautiful car brother !!

Kinematic, I chose the LLoyds Luxe SS floor mats. They are a very nice quality floor mat. I am now at 5,114 miles and have lost no excitement at all when driving this car. This is what I look like today. Fixen to darken out the gill area and got my personalized license plate 14SS1LE on order. Thanks for ya'lls comments!!!!

Thanks Ragnar, Looks awesome!

Yellow is an eye catcher for sure

I'm always getting compliments

This is my 2nd Rally Yellow Camaro. Your car looks great.

Why conventional over synthetic oil?

It's part of what many believe to be the correct break-in procedure. You switch back to synthetic after the first 2 oil changes or so.
