Talking Just bought my new Camaro! (pics) Any suggestions for mods?

Pretty pumped to own my first cool car haha. 2LT with the RS package. I'm starting with a fresh slate here, so Any suggestions for some mods I should do to it from you more experienced guys? I know right off the bat I wanna black out the chevy logo and also black out the wheels. The guy at the shop I went to said black paint won't stay on those wheels so I may have to invest in some black rims..

anyway here's the pic, I'm excited as hell! Picking it up tomorrow, had to wait til tomorrow so I could get my insurance and everything squared away

First off Welcome and congrats on the car... Nice 1st post w/ pic and all...

There are a ton of V6 threads on here with discussions on every mod you can think of... type in the search box and it's just like google..

Start with a Cold Air Intake and get rid of the front plate...

Sometimes I wonder why dealers dont just put CAI in the car themselves. Saves us alot of time. Ill gladly pay the 300 extra bucks.

Welcome aboard. Thanks for buying a CAMARO. Enjoy the surfing and reading. Get ready for a new addiction. You'll see.

As for mods, here is my thread of items I have done to date to start you off with as you look for things to due to your Camaro.

First thing I would do is tint the windows. Then look at lowering it. If you do want to go with black wheels then you can either have your wheels powder coated or look as some black chrome replicas maybe.

Welcome new Permagrin owner. We want a pic with you and the car tomorrow....

CAI, good start IMO (it's the 1st and only performance mod I've done). Have done several appearance mods though. There are dozens of threads on this site from washing your car to turbocharging it, there is nothing you won't find.

Get out the reading glasses AND your wallet..

Welcome to the family.

congrats on the new car, it looks great. the bad news is you will probably end up spending more money on the mods than the car itself. but the good news is you will have a perma-grin the whole time.

tints are def a must.

not gonna lower it but only because there are some shitty roads here lol the govt here spends millions to get Regis & Kelly taping shows here but cant fix the p.o.s. roads

i'll ask about the wheels tomorrow. unfortunately i don't know much about appearance-related mods yet, but im a fast learner

picked it up at 4pm today....been driving it ever since....1:23 am here in my time zone, just got home for the first time haha. i parked it at a restaraunt and sat by the window and soo many people walking by stopped and looked at it. lots of great feedback from my friends and ladies

there's a scratch on the side, the dealership thinks it came from being on the truck or something, they're fixing it tomorrow. i'll also see about getting the wheels powdercoated black tomorrow while i'm in there.

camaro's look 100x more amazing at night too!

Keep the front plate (I chose to not get pulled over)
Cat/Axel back exhaust (I chose Flowmaster AMT)
Cold Air Intake (I chose Injen)
Black and Silver Painted Bowties (I choose Gary's Customs)

Congrats! your car looks super cool!

My favorite mods have been...

tint windows
MRT v2 exhaust
Foose Wheels...

I wanted to give my 6 a little rumble an the MRT was the answer.

Enjoy!
