New items and jealous people! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I have had my 2011 1LT/RS for a couple of weeks and loving it. I have been reading all kinds of threads on camaro5 and decided to install A few items over the weekend...... Friday started with the Volant CAI that really wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. Car had a great sound from the engine and the exhaust opened up really well for the stock system. I drive 40 miles round trip everyday and usually get 20.9 miles per gallon combined. I am very happy to say that not only does the power come on at 2,000 rpm instead of 3,000 rpm, but I am now getting 25.2 miles per gallon.

Saturday morning first thing I did was cut the stock system from the axel back and added the American Thunder Flowmaster kit. I love the system. No more suitcases under the car. The growl isn't that tuner sound that you hear on the ricers and the 4 inch tips really show well on the backside of the car. I added the AAC tinted/black painted side marker lights and I have to say that if you don't have a set on your car you are really missing out. The side markers make a huge visual difference on the car. If you have a stock Camaro and not much money to change the look, the side markers are the best first step anyone could take. Lastly I removed the front and rear (gold) bowties and added the billet (black) aluminum emblems. The rear one was a little tricky because I had to wire in the custom (AAC) blue illuminated bowtie. All in all the car looks, sounds and drives amazingly.
So here is the new problem..... My brother came to town and I took him out to a night life spot downtown Jacksonville, FL and some #%|£|%

keyed my passenger door. Yes the passenger door is ruined. I have already spoken to the body shop and the door panel will take a day to fix before they can do any paint work on the car. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! So pictures will have to wait until I get the car fixed. I will update on the progress as it comes along.

Welcome to Camaro5! Sounds like a very nice car, we always welcome pictures! Sorry about the A-HOLE who keyed your car!

OOLIE · 03-14-2011, 03:48 PM

Yeah That really sucks!!! I don't understand people sometimes. Good luck getting everything back the way it should be.

R7243E · 03-14-2011, 03:53 PM

Here are a few before the car was completely mutilated.

GoPaul · 03-14-2011, 04:08 PM

sweet ride, love the sidemarkers.

next upgrade should be lowering springs - will look and handle a lot better

R7243E · 03-14-2011, 04:16 PM

I plan on doing the Ebach Sport package. That includes springs and sway bars. I'm so glad I bought the 1LT because I will be doing the AAC carbon fiber door and dash kit with the custom Katskinz leather. Should be a fun progress as long as I don't get keyed again.

Sorry my iPad doesn't spell check

The Stig · 03-14-2011, 05:07 PM

Do you have AAC side markers in the front and then Showstoppers in the back?

R7243E · 03-14-2011, 05:15 PM

I'm telling you your back ones are from Showstoppers. They are another company that makes the LED side markers. Nothing wrong with either one, both are great companies who make great products. I just noticed the differences. AAC's side markers the LED is in the middle of the side marker. But with Showstoppers, the LED is at the top of the side marker.

R7243E · 03-14-2011, 05:38 PM

No they are AAC. Here is the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2010-...ht_12165wt_982
