New Member, New Car
Hey Gang ... I've been perusing the forum since taking home my 1LE, and figured I should probably register and participate here.
A recent divorce made me get rid of my pride and joy, a 2008 BMW 335i Convertible. I had done a lot to her, and really enjoyed driving. Here's a tribute: This is how she originally came: So imagine my surprise when I see a Camaro, with a Black and Orange theme, and already modded favorably from the factory. I've never owned an American car before, but I can say it's "not that bad" Today I decided to dig into my first mods... (if you can call them that) Plastidip and debadge. Here are some photos that you can jerk off to now! I pulled out the shrouds, emblems, and got rid of the "ss" badges... I was going to keep them, but thought against it... going with a "debadged" theme... Plastidipped everything, and this is what it looks like now: and a couple of other shots, just for good measure... the sun really makes this paint "pop" Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say HI. I am considering a blower, but my first big project will be a stereo overhaul. I'll post progress as I go through, but this won't be anywhere near the realms of Best Buy installs... It will be much much more involved and articulate. |

Congrats man. The car looks really good de-badged and plasti dipped, however I feel it would look complete with black ZL1 rockers. From wheel to wheel.
