Nothing will kill the warranty in the US unless it specifically is the part to cause a part to break or not perform to spec. I wouldn't be surprised if several other countries have similar laws. Basically, GM can't claim a warranty violation if you install an intake and your windshield falls off, for example. They have to be related, and the new part has to cause the factory part to break.

When we find out the specifications of the audio system, I will begin ordering parts for the interior of the car. I won't install any external mods until I drive it so I know what I want.

I didnt think the new camaro was going to be introduced in europe??

The warranty over here goes three ways:

1. GM bring the Camaro to the UK (in RHD.. or more likely, like the Corvette, in LHD) and we'll get the same warranty the Corvette enjoys.
2. GM don't bring the Camaro to the UK (seems more likely at the moment) and I import one - then the warranty is moot.
3. GM do bring the Camaro to the UK but they charge $/£ conversion - ie, you pay $30k and I pay £30k (more likely I pay £40k ($80k) just like the Corvette) so I still import the thing and have to haggle for a warranty!

Either way, I probably lose. <shrugs>

When the Camaros come out, a lot of people will be buying them so I would want to do something to mine to make it stand out apart from the others. But not in a bad way, I would probably tint the windows really dark, look into a nice cal hood, and possibly look into lowering it if its too high..

Jay · 12-25-2007, 04:15 AM

Maybe just some new wheels ans suspension drop if necessary in the beginning... really want to keep that new factory look for a while when I buy the car... maybe go crazy mod's later on.

*Dragoneye* · 12-31-2007, 11:15 PM

Sorry it took so long, Camarochick - Hope you like it!

85convertibleZ28 · 01-01-2008, 01:34 AM

Nope going to keep it stock I plane on getting the the top dog so I don't think I will need any kind of mods, From what I seen on you tube I really like the sound of the exhaust as long as they keep it the same.

*DGthe3* · 01-01-2008, 01:53 AM

It won't be the same since it will be a different engine, but very similar is quite doable

85convertibleZ28 · 01-01-2008, 10:43 PM

Ive seen them on the mustang for so long that's where they belong, personally

TheMadHatter99 · 01-04-2008, 11:41 AM

Exhaust, probably SLP.
Maybe some aluminum door sill inserts to protect any plastic that might be there (I like light-colored interiors).
Probably customize the leather seats to be a retro two-tone.
Whatever it takes to get the shifter as close to the concept as humanly possible.
Depending on the final shape of the rear side windows I might look into some side window louvers (not really traditional, I know).
Probably a cold air intake kit just for that little bit of added power.

hmm i see one exterior mod on that list.....lol.......i do like the 2-tone seats though, black with red inserts please

i have a colorado with the light leather eats and they show so much dirt, black is better if your lazy like me....

TheMadHatter99 · 01-04-2008, 08:52 PM

Yeah, I got slightly carried away...although the exhaust and the window louvers would qualify as external so I get two for six...

Navy Blue · 01-08-2008, 08:11 PM

my camaro will have a camaro 5 sticker on the back

then tints/i'll have a decent sound system/car alarm/xm satelite radio/and loud pipes

very loud, rims? maybe depends on the color i get

willisit · 01-09-2008, 03:26 AM

Now the prototype pics are out, I'd say there might be some improvements to be done - however, until I'm walking around a production car... it's hard to say at the moment. I still like the looks - but those wheels are too small.

Jose_The_Great_Cuervo · 03-07-2008, 09:04 PM

I'll probably get the convertible so I'll add:

Convertible Bar
RS Headlights
Side Exhaust Kit
Hood (Stinger hood, maybe)
Rims
Paintjob

TheClassicCarKid · 03-17-2008, 10:02 PM

I'll be getting some mirrors that look more like the concept car's if anyone makes them.
Other than that though, I'll keep mine just the way it left the factory.

I really wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of vendors start trying to make parts that look like the concept. I would definitely jump on some concept mirrors, too. They just need to fit really well, so I won't do it until someone else plays guinea pig and posts pictures for me.

Jose_The_Great_Cuervo · 03-18-2008, 01:52 AM

Man I hope they make aftermarket manual shift kits like on the concept.

I was so blowed when I found out they weren't going to be on the Camaro. It just looked so bad az.

Emu the Foo · 03-18-2008, 02:20 AM

i doubt the concept mirrors are practical or even legal. but i would like to have side exhausts and hid healights or projectors. depending on what stripes come on it i might change those. and i will use ZAINO products only to clean and polish my car. make that shine stand out. as for rims. 20/s are perfect for performance. i will prolly keep the stocks unless boze wheels get more affordable

Phantasm · 03-18-2008, 12:05 PM

The majority of what I plan to do to mine revolves around the grille area (maybe some sort of RS lights and possibly a tasteful replacement grille). Plus, the idea of side pipes is very intriguing.

TankSS · 03-22-2008, 06:20 PM

I used photoshop to mockup what I want to do to the exterior:

^ Nice work Tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That looks AMAZING!!! Now if you could do gunmetal and a coupe, that would be even more incredible!
