Driving to HI - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Neversat808 · 05-15-2010, 07:08 AM

First off, Hello everyone, I've been reading to forum for a while, but haven't posted much.

I recently purchased a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, 1SS/RS, Black/Black, 6sp Manual,

Quick background.
I just got back from a trip with the Army, cleared and released (14MAY2010), caught a bus up to the Atlanta airport, got picked up by Jim Thompson of Thornton Chevrolet, finished up all the paperwork, loaded my gear, and drove to the nearest hotel to clean up and get some sleep.

First couple days will be in GA, getting a 9500ci installed, and some PPF(most likely VS)
Then probably a quick run north to visit some friends, then back along the south to visit with more friends and family, eventually hitting CA, where I will load the car up and ship it home to HI.

I will get some pics up asap, and try to keep this updated when I can, who knows maybe I'll cross paths with some other forum members on this run,

24MAY2010 update:
Added a few pictures,
first 2 are stock shots,
3rd is a shot of the Escort 9500ci display mounted over the rearview mirror.
4th is a shot showing left side black chrome tail light bezels, right side stock bezels... don't mind the mess in the trunk
5th is a shot of the front black center, black chrome outer emblem installed... ignore the bugs all over the bumper
6th shows the side, removed CAMARO from the fender, smoked side indicators, tint, and the "stealth" splashguards

Plan on doing any visual modifications?

Neversat808 · 05-15-2010, 06:49 PM

For now just some small stuff, I'm thinking about shaving/removing the CAMARO badges on the front fenders when I do the Ventureshield and tint, also possibly blackout the bowties, and probably do something with the tail light bezels.

I've got some other ideas too, but I'll probably try to hold out until I get back home

congrats

Michael_Js · 05-25-2010, 02:52 PM

Congrats and Welcome!

a great way to break her in!
Thanks for your service!

Neversat808 · 05-26-2010, 09:32 AM

Critteral: I didn't really think about it, but in the front shot you can kinda see the antenna in the upper grill next to the "SS" emblem, and the laser shifter/sensors are in the lower grill, almost straight down from the edges of the indicators.
The rear shifter/sensor is bolted to the top of the license plate, I might need to move that, it blocks a lot of the light for the license plate.

Thanks to everyone else for welcoming me, I'm lovin' the car. I'm still getting used to how big the "mainland" is, but it's a lot more fun here than trying to break her in doing laps around the island!

what are you talking about what is getting a 9500ci installed, and some PPF(most likely VS) why not get mc sc,arh w/c,bmr ta's,bse,mi and cai instead ?
