MY 2011 SS DAILY DRIVER

[cz2815]

I like to thank you for checking out my build. In july of 2013 I found my 2011 2SS/RS M6 Inferno Orange Metallic Camaro. It already had American Racing Headers, high flow cats and K&N air intake. It also had Bravado Americana Wheels and Nitto tires. I lost the pics of when i got the car, But these are after the Heritage Grille I put on.

So originally I figured with the exhaust and wheels done. I wasn't going to do much else. Well boy was i wrong lol. At first I just tinted the windows 5% and drove it. After about a month I added some leds in the grill and under the hood.
I also polished the throttle body and few other things under the hood.

I pretty much just enjoyed the car for the rest of the summer. Then I found out how bad Nitto Invo tires are in the snow. So I bought four 50lb bags of sand and put them in the trunk and made it thru the winter somehow. The problem is I couldn't afford snow tires and my only other car is a 1993 Z28 Camaro that is not registered and a lot worst in the snow. I wound up actually selling the supercharger off my 93 and getting some stuff for my 2011. First up I got GM Dovetail Spoiler and Pro Custom Products RS Headlight Covers.

Next I got some fog light black outs, new SS emblem for the grill and flame stripes. I also took the car to a local dyno day at Tune Time Performance.

The flames look amazing!! Your car looks great.

Thanks, they are stickers me and the wife put them on.

At this point the engine cover bothered me. It didn't really look like an engine to me. So I relocated the heater hoses and flipped the fuel rail. I also got Holley LS valve covers and painted them chevy orange with engine paint. While i had things apart I painted the fuse box cover, intake pipe and the positive post.

So still not happy with the way the engine looked. I had some time off work and decided to port the throttle body and intake, rewired some of the wiring on the coils and injectors. Then I painted the intake, relocated the evap solenoid and polished some more stuff. This took a lot of time and this is the only car in my household. Having it down is very hard I basically didn't sleep till the car ran again. I don't remember how long some of this stuff took to do but i do remember working something like 40 hours straight. with porting, painting and rewiring lol. Wife only had 2 days off and I needed the car running to drive her.

After some looking around I found the Transformer Autobot Edition front fascia grille decal and really like how it looked. I messed it up a little when putting it on but not realy noticable. Also got a new pulley for the belt tensioner and a new belt a little smaller because the pulley is a little smaller then stock.

The next weekend I started polishing the water pump.

Then in late july it happened. My friend bought the enemy, now I have to really sit down and figure out how i'm gonna go about beating this car lol.

[cz2815]

I tried making one of those rad covers but didn't like how it came out so I scrapped it. I also painted the rear tail light bezels black and found a nice hideaway lic plate holder on Ebay.

I had been looking for a decal to match the flame stripes for a while and finally found some nice ones for the side of the car.
