Thanks man! Yeah, you should definitely come out with us next time. It's been too long since we've seen "Lawbraker" too!

PS: I never knew you had a build thread going until today.

Ports and splitter were done at Valens Collision Center in Clovis. They painted them there as well.

The next mod I added was the Oracle "Concept Style" Side Mirrors. (www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=287909) They are both functional AND sleek...They actually improve side and rear visuals quite a bit as they are convex mirrors. Plus, they have a ghosted LED strip in them (which match the side markers perfectly) I love the way they look, and they definitely get attention at night.

It had been a long time since I had been able to do any other mods...I had just been too busy with everything else going on in life. Fortunately, it also gave me some time to save some cash, so I bought myself a gift with some Christmas money- Commemorative Edition Camaro Emblems.

I was really excited when these came out, and they were actually pretty hard to find, even from GM parts direct.

At this point, my stock Pirelli tires were getting VERY low (but I did get 42xxx miles out of them)...and I decided to use my need for new tires as an opportunity to shop around for some new rims.

It wasn't long before I came across the Factory Reproductions (http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=292326) "Style 41" rims that looked great and were very reasonably priced! I've always been a huge fan of the black ZL1 rims, and I loved that these replicas are extremely similar, but still different:

ZL1 Rims:


My Rims:


Plus, I was able to order them in all the same size, which will finally allow me to rotate the tires when necessary! I chose the gloss black Style 41 rims in 20x10 +23 all around with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires in 275/40. (As usual, installed at the local Saints Motorsports)Still at the stock ride height...for now...

I absolutely love the way it looks.

Another mod I decided to go with during this "modding spree" is kind of unique and it goes well with the other accents I have in and around the Camaro- Red seatbelts!

The company I used was called Seatbelt Solutions, based in Florida-

(866) 904-BELT(2358)
15835 Corporate Road N
Jupiter, FL 33478-6422
www.seatbeltsolutions.com

They are good at answering e-mails and have good communication/customer service. There are tons of colors to choose from as well.

It was quite a process to get the seatbelts done. In order to re-web them in the stock retractors, they require you to send in your factory seatbelts. Not wanting to have to take my Camaro to the shop to have them removed and wait for the new seatbelts to arrive, I saw some stock belts for sale on the forums from user "Steve_ZL1", who had also purchased some for the exact same purpose. So I bought his stock belts and sent them to Florida, hence preventing 2 Camaro-less weeks of waiting.

The finished seatbelts (in "Flame Red"):







I had them installed along with the new rims, making for a pretty great day of mods! The ONLY issue was that the plugs didn't match. I have a 2011 1LT/RS, and the stock seatbelts I sent in to be re-webbed were from a 2015 ZL1 with Recaro seats. My guess is that Chevy changed the plugs between 2011 and 2015 (), so my installer had to splice the wires together.

You can see the two different plugs, the new on the left vs. my original stock on the right: Freakin' GM...


Other than that, they look fantastic. Really go well with the other red accents I have in the car. The guys at Seatbelt Solutions (and my installer) do great work.
