Agreed, but I'm having an engine cover custom made around the arc reactor.

Just ordered a Firebreather spoiler. It was an impulse buy (read: my wife is going to murder me) after reading Stieger's build thread. I'll have it painted when it arrives, then I'll need to do a trunk swap with someone so that I won't have to fill in the holes.

If you guys decide to get this spoiler, make sure you put in "camaro5" in the coupon code section. It will save you $55.

Here's a photo of my Camaro the day I brought her home. I was going to wait for a ZL1, but when I found this deal I couldn't pass it up. And I realized I would never actually use the ZL1 for its intended purpose.



First mod was an aftermarket sub, and it's still a work in progress. I'm planning on adding an additional 10" sub on the driver's side and building a custom cover for the amp and wires.

I ordered a Revolution Styling cowl hood with the reverse kit. Had a lot of issues with the company that painted it, but the actual ordering process was great (despite all the negative comments on this forum about Revolution).





Now on to the project I'm tackling for my car...
How did I not see this before?! Fantastic! We should add an article about this to Advanced Iron!

Subscribed! This is gonna be one awesome looking camaro and def one of a kind. Good luck! Looking good so far. I know you already bought a new hood but it would look really cool once you get that arc reactor in if you had the hood that has the window in it that way you can see it but that is just a thought. Def looking good.

Damn, you beat me to it CamaroKid, lol. Package should be here Friday hopefully. I leave for Ecuador on Saturday until the 15th, so I won't have any updates until then.

If it gets here Friday, I can drop it off at the shop that's doing the engine cover and hopefully have it finished before I get back.

you should have a window installed on the hood to show off the arc reactor, like all the ironman suits. I've already seen a couple camaros out here with the window on the hood that shows off their engine covers, no negatives just positives from it. good luck
