Got everything done yesterday for the front camera, thanks for all the info! You can check out my pics of my camera on my thread, thanks again.

Glad I could help.

Excellent documentation on your upgrades. I have a 2014 LS and I'm about to start on mine and this thread has given me some really good ideas. Keep it up!

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Have you considered adding a rear camera since your monitor will support the second one? Would make it much nicer for backing into parking spaces and shouldn't be all that much more difficult.

yzark99 · 10-22-2015, 11:13 AM

I already have one from the day I purchased the car. The monitor is in the rear-view mirror; which is about the same size, but the hassle to tie into the OEM system and get it to switch between rear/forward/off was something way too involved for me. Figuring out heated mirrors was a piece of cake compared to that cluster.

Dark_Horse · 10-22-2015, 11:56 AM

Understood. Wasn't sure if you had the back up camera or not. This looks like a nice setup your car has definitely given me some ideas.

Jac-Fab Extendolator

I bought one of these on Black Friday to help with low-end torque. It now comes in a dark-grey color; which should blend in better with the intake. I wasn't expecting the hat and the 2 coozies; a nice bonus.

Update 12-28-15:

I installed this on Christmas Day between rainstorms. The instructions had a bunch of old info that had to be weeded through. Total time was about 90 minutes, with lots of double-checking to be sure things were removed and replaced correctly. When I started the car today, there were no warning lights or problems with driving. Now I'm waiting for next weekend to get some miles on the car, and hopefully it will be noticeable then.

Update 12-30-15: I went on a longer drive than usual, and everything is louder. The performance gain hasn't really been noticeable yet, but the sound definitely is. I also noticed some annoying drone cruising at 70 that has never been there before. Time to adjust the J-pipes on the cat-back.

Update 1-10-16: The idle has gotten louder as well. Here is my first video for 2016: 2012 Camaro Exhaust Cold Start
