Well I thought I'd start a journal page to log the progress on my camaro. I'll try to keep this updated as things are added to the car. It's going to be a slow process but a fun one.
So.. in February 2010 I ordered this beautiful camaro and just picked it up a couple days ago. Some completely stock photos: I love this thing, there's always a huge smile on my face when I drive it So here's what I've done so far. I added a radar detector that was from my last car and I decided to mount it using BlendMount's mount. Well worth the money because it rocks! So clean: Hardwired my Garmin nuvi. I actually used a separate cigarette lighter plug and wired it into the one by the 4 pack gauge cluster and plugged the nuvi into there. That way I'd be able to use the FM traffic. I used the ProClips Mounts and it is wonderful, a clean install I also got some LEDs from Superbrightleds.com, 1. Front Turn Signals, 2. Dome/Trunk Lights, 3. License Plate Lights. They are much brighter and better. Lastly, I painted a bunch of interior plastics: 1. Front strip 2. Speedometer trim 3. Random top vents 4. Steering Wheel Trim 5. Trim around gauges and shifter That's all I got for now. Future mods include black tail light trim and a bunch of stickers Leave some comments and/or suggestions for my ride!

looks great! did you take apart the steering wheel to do the silver piece on there? I'd like to do this myself in black. I wonder if I have the patience...

Looks great ! Love the idea of painting those pieces? How did you keep them dust free while painting and drying?

I was able to install some blackout stuff as well as paint my tail light bezels black I did mess up on trying to put the gills on though :( so I suppose I'm going to have to order another set lol here's how they turned out. I also bought a 160GB iPod Classic for the car since my iPod Touch doesn't seem to work great with the stock iPod integration.
Blacked out bowties, tail light bezels, reverse lights, turn signals and DRLs: Showstopper LED mirrors should be in sometime soon. Also my AAC LED sidemarkers will ship out according to them next week. Probably going to buy another set of gills Afterwards I'll be getting a Roto-Fab CAI and probably going to lower it with some nice Pfadt lowering springs. That'll be fun Last edited by RedRyder; 08-02-2019 at 06:54 AM. |

Got my ShowStopper LED Mirrors on! They're pretty sweeet, thanks to Pete at Showstopper for an awesome product
Almost done with the exterior stuff, I'm thinking about going to a local shop and getting the trunk blacked out. I'm weighing the idea. Last edited by RedRyder; 08-02-2019 at 06:55 AM. |

It's been a little while but I have a new addition! AAC Painted LED Side Markers!
Decided to leave the gills out, at least for now. Also I'm putting the springs on hold because I'm slowly remembering how driving a lowered car in Atlanta can be a huge pain (Although could be worth it). Next up when funds allow will be either a trunk blackout or the Rotofab CAI. But first, I gotta pay for a big dent I put in the side of the camaro Last edited by RedRyder; 08-02-2019 at 06:57 AM. |
