2013 Camaro Hot Wheels SE: To Mod or Not to Mod
I'm still kicking around the idea of doing a few mods to my HWSE but I'm a little concerned that I should keep it 100% stock... Has anyone done any mods to theirs?

Do what you want to it, just keep the stock parts. That's what I did.

Same here, I have all the stock parts off of my 45th. Even the motor is wrapped up in storage

I've done mods to mine, as you can see from my signature. Unless you are a collector or someone who does not like doing mods at all, I say go for it!
If you have the space to keep the stock parts then you can do that too. But I wanted mine to be just a little different from the other HWSE that I might see so that's why I did some mods.

Just don't do any thing irreversible and you will be fine.

All interesting points of view! I'm thinking CAI, cat back exhaust, RX oil catch can, Hurst short throw shifter, strut tower bar. But I'm not sure about lowering with the 21"s on it. Anyone lower theirs?

I concur with litle88 it can be a football edition Camaro and be one of a kind its still a Camaro anybody can replicate any kind of Camaro with the right parts so make it your own and mod on cam long tubes s/c anything you want!

NO RX, trust me and the people that will agree! Get an Elite or MN can.

I concur with what most of these guys have said.
Just don't do anything that is irreversible and keep your stock parts. Then if you want to have a collectors item years from now, you still can. |

There is stock plus OEM mods. Then there is stock plus aftermarket mods. For yours you could get (almost) all the parts OEM. CAI (Z/28 intake will be out shortly) Cat Back Exhaust (Chevrolet sells a rebranded Borla) Catch Can (No dirty side OEM, but you can buy the 1LE version for the clean side from Chevrolet). The Elite "looks" the most OEM (to me). Short Throw Shifter (ZL1 short throw shifter is available from GM performance Parts) Strut Tower Bar (Chevrolet Sells)
