Mako22 Build: v.1.0 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

mako22 · 10-29-2012, 02:59 PM

When I sold my 2002 Z28 (below) a couple years ago to buy my house, I told myself it was time to grow up and that I would have to do without having a Camaro for a while. That sentiment lasted about 3 months.

Based on recommendations from this forum, I sought out Becky from Rodgers Chevrolet to help me track down what I was looking for - a white 1SS (tired of swirls...) with a sunroof. Sure enough, she was able to acquire one from a nearby dealership that matched my needs. After a great buying experience, Becky put the car on a truck and sent it down to me.

Once I stopped staring at it in the garage for a few days, it was time to put Phase I of the build into action

GM Ground Effects Package
Blade Spoiler
ZL-1 Grille
3M Cobalt Blue Hood & Hockey Stripes (ProMotorStripes)
Front and rear bowtie overlays (ProMotorStripes)
Black front bumper and mail slot vinyl (BigWormGraphix)
Custom SS emblem and blue rear 6.2L emblem (emblempros)
15% Tint
Smoke Fog Light Covers
Tinted side markers front/back
Magnetic Rear Panel blackout
Black Plasti-Dipped Wheels, Tail Bezels, Camaro Badges
Borla ATAK Cat-Back
CAI Cold Air Intake

Next is long tubes & a tune but here's where we're at:
