My First Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Last week I picked up my first Camaro. A 2011 1LT with the limited edition XM Package (Only 230 of them were ever made, It's the blue Camaro at the top of the web page.) I'm already ready to start making modifications to the car. So my question to you fellow Camaro owners/veterans is what are some of the first things you guys did to your Camaros. I'd like to totally redo the audio and do a scoshe kit with my 7 inch pioneer head unit from my last vehicle. Any suggestions there or anywhere?

????? WTH is a limited edition XM package? I think I got one of those as well. It was limited to 6 months without paying more money. Used you're probably limited to 3 months. Whatever you do don't give them a credit card number.

Congrats on the new car though.

nice welcome to the familia

I like to start with exhaust, CAI and lowering springs because I feel like intake/exhaust note could have been better from the factory, and also feel the stock stance leaves too much gap around the wheels.

Enjoy it!

Congrats! I would start with a catch can (protect your investment). Then go for CAI, Exhaust, and some light changes to (leds). Once those "cheaper" mods are done, I would then work on wheels and actual body mods.

Good luck!

Still don't quite understand why its called "XM". I got a free year of XM with my purchase too but didn't get an "XM" SE.

Would think you would get lifetime free of the car with that

Sweet congrats!

Nice looking car! ... Personally when I got my 1st Camaro I was disappointed in the way the exhaust sounded (very quiet). So for me the first mod I did, and the first one I personally think anyone should do, is exhaust. You want it to sounds like a Camaro should.... And this is of course after window tint. Tint is the first thing to add to any car, not just a camaro.
