Just bought a used 2013 1LE - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2SS 1LE rally yellow 2900 miles. Almost went with a new 2014 because of the whole used car thing, but I prefer the 2013 look so I feel fortunate to have found one. Hopefully was broken in well, I've put 400 miles on last 3 days and seems to be running perfectly.

Great color. Good for you!

Mikey D · 07-04-2014, 07:46 PM

Thank you! Was going to shoot for white on a 2014, but I agree the yellow looks great.

OP Nice car! 2900 miles is basically a new car! THE YELLOW really looks nice on that car, and with sunroof too. have fun!

whats your first mod?

Mikey D · 07-04-2014, 10:48 PM

Thanks Kevin!

Shinzon, I got it for 37K. I probably would've paid more in all honesty, I was so happy just to find a 2013 for sale.

Good question, beany. I hadn't given it much thought! This is my first Camaro, so I have lots to learn. Anyone have suggestions? For now, I'm sure the base 1LE is plenty beast for me!

Hell yeah I'm going to try this!

Very beautiful ride, very nice pic, congrats, welcome to the '13 clan.

I'd protect that paint with clear film in the appropriate places. It was the very first mod I did, and I suggest you do it ASAP if you plan to keep it long term. Film on rear gills and lower quarters, first few inches of the roof leading edge from windshield onwards, A-Pillars, the entire front bumper, spoiler, and around headlights and grill, entire rockers, lower portion of front fender right behind the front tire, entire rear lower section behind rear tires, and oh yes, I I almost forgot, the side mirrors. Then_ you_are _golden, lol.

I recently installed these, http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=367051 . I personally think that it is a "1LE must", they should have done this from the factory, but that's imho of course.

Your mileage is still low, not too late to keep things inside squeaky clean, install a catch can on the dirty side, you were supplied with one for the clean side already, if not installed already, it should be in your trunk.

As for headers, high flow cats, cold air intake, custom remote tuning, then maybe cam, SC, or even just a TT and nothing else, calling it a day

, plenty for you to play wit here.
