My Camaro -

December 4, 2010 I talked my wife into trading up our Audi for a new Camaro.

The dealership I went to only had one used V6, and we ended up getting a pretty good deal.

She's an LS A6, but now you wouldn't know by looking at her.

Since the purchase, I've added quite a few things, and will show most of them in the pictures.


Interior Mods
2-tone heated leather seats
2LT/2SS door panels & dash trim
ABL mod for doors and dash
Blue carbon fiber trim
Gray "CAMARO" decals in door sill
Painted shift console
Painted steering wheel bezel
Painted radio faceplate

Exterior Mods
T3 Hood
SS bumper w/SLP mail slot
Blacked out wheels
Carbon fiber/painted bowtie (front)
Rear LED bowtie
8000k HID headlights
LED 2-way turn signals
8000k fog lights
20% tinted windows
Heritage Grille
HONOR and VALOR badges (blacked out)
Blacked out Camaro badges
Side mirror turn signal mod
Tail light bezels blacked out
Camaro5 sticker!

Performance Mods
Vararam Ram Air
Resonator Delete
Hotchkis Sport Springs
SS Struts
Magnaflow axleback
Studded winterforce tires for the winter
20" RS wheels w/stock Pirelli's

Stock:


HID's:


Winter wheels and tires:


New seats and interior trim:




LED front turn signals:


Stripe project:

White stripes


No stripes



Adding stripes



Done!!! 1,000,000 times better



LED Bowtie


Side mirror turn signal mod


Blacked out tail light bezels

Magnaflow axle-back and resonator-delete



Lastly, here's one of me drivin my baby!! PERMA-GRIN!!

Hopefully this summer I can get a MPD1 spoiler, sinister hood, and an exhaust! Time will tell! I also have door sill graphics and a carbon fiber interior trim kit in the mail!

I want to do some more lighting like you have as well (cup holder, floorboards). I'll hit you up in a couple weeks or so for some more LED's!

New door sill decals installed. Bought them from organgrinder, and they're great. Easy install and I think they look awesome. Here are a few pics:

Got my Vararam Ram Air installed today!!! Looks great, and they say it adds 25-30 RWHP, and 3 tenths of a second in the 1/4 mile! Can't wait to see the results!
