If you got into an accident would you try to create the exact same mods? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Would you track down the manufactures to buy every mod to put
your car back the exact same way it was b4 the accident? Or would you
settle with eliminating some of the mods you already bought b4 the
accident?

I would replace everything except the underglows I never use

ActNup NY · 04-23-2013, 11:27 PM

Don't have much mods as of yet. But the little I do have I would do the same just about and possibly add a twist to it.

yup...im very happy with my car the way it is. although if the hood got messed up id try and cop a ZL1 with a carbon insert.

In respect to our recently departed loved one, I would observe a respectful period of mourning, then try new cooler things with all the cash my personal injury attorney got me!

rberns · 04-24-2013, 12:14 AM

Interesting thought. Hope I don't ever have to come down to this. I would probably get the Elite Engineering CC next time as its easier to drain than the RX, I would keep my CAI w/scoop and ARH LTH, probably do something different for underhood cosmetics than what I got from RPI Designs.

sscamaro · 04-24-2013, 10:13 AM

I would do the same things to the new one.

angie7 · 04-24-2013, 10:29 AM

Yea probably. I love the way my car looks.

menendez1293 · 04-24-2013, 10:30 AM

As of right now I wouldn't change a thing. I take my time on my mods to make sure it's what I reall want

viper blue · 04-24-2013, 06:33 PM

Would defiantly do the paint job again no ground effects the rest the same I think hopefully I never find out.

StangKiller-SS · 04-24-2013, 06:59 PM

Agreed that you'd never want it come down to that, but it's probably smartest to take the chance to do something different than what you had before unless you loved your set up that much.

daveagogo1 · 04-24-2013, 08:28 PM

I would take my cash payment, drive my Traverse until i took delivery of my new Z/28 and yeah you can bet i'd DD it too.

Rhyder · 04-24-2013, 08:32 PM

depending on which one I got to replace it, color for one would make me maybe go a different route as far as looks,

but one thing I probably wouldn't get would be headers, just get cat backs and be done with it. Headers are great and all and I like them now that I have them, but would rather put the money elsewhere.

other than that I'm extremely happy with my other mods

OHIOSS · 05-01-2013, 07:35 PM

Kind of surprised the majority wouldn't change much if anything. Personally there is likely only one mod I wouldn't do again because I did it before a later mod. That would be the windshield banner that says CAMARO SS
