Here it goes, my story...
All of my friends have all had BMW's and Mercedes' but i wanted to be a little different. It was my first car and i had a choice the :chevy:2011 Camaro 2SS/RS Victory Red or the Mercedes-Benz E350 Coupe. It was a tough choice but I feel like I made the right choice with the Chevy and honestly don't regret a thing.

Just to clarify a few things yes, I am 18 years old and yes I bought this car when i was 16. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 16. Just before anyone judges me and says you don't deserve it and you're a spoiled little brat and what not be a little more gentle and here my story. It's a build might as well spill everything out. I had to leave high school at 15 because my father had developed cancer and couldn't work for a while. So I left school to get a full-time job to support the family. My sister stayed in school and continued her part-time job and my mother barely worked because she really couldn't. So long story short, I worked my ass off for a year, got the money for the down payment, and now i pay the monthly payments and insurance every month. My father got better and is now in remission(Thank God). And now he's battling everyday for another day.

So i guess hard work really does pay off, who knew :D.

Well back to the reason why I'm here, my 2SS/RS. I picked her up January 27, 2011 and ever since then I am in love with it:wub:. I really enjoy cars so Having her and realizing you could learn so much by having your own is incredible.Attachment 415013 Attachment 415014 Attachment 415015

As you can tell I got her fully stock and just had to change that. The next thing I did was get my stripes on :happyanim:. I did this 3 weeks after I got my car so she wasn't naked for long ;)

I later got my tints and it just drastically changed the look of my car. Then I did probably my most favorite mod on my car and all Camaros out there, I got Ground Effects, Gm Ground Effects :happyanim:
Attachment 415018 Attachment 415019 Attachment 415020

Then I was introduced to a world of Plasti-Dip :drool:by one of my close friends and fell in love with it INSTANTLY!!! I did my tail light bezels, my lettering on the sides, and i gave her the ZL1 look that I absolutely must have on my car. I also bought the Fading Gills, I forgot where I ordered them from, sorry.

Then I wasn't extremely happy with the sound of my car I mean ya I had a 6.2 V8 but it wasn't right. So I decided to go with Magnaflow. I got the Magnaflow 10791 Tru - X Stainless Steel 2.5" Exhaust Pipe and the Magnaflow 16482 Stainless Cat-Back System :thumbup: I took off the resonator that was on the exhausts that I had bought and replaced it with the X-Pipe. I don't have a video of the exhausts but when i find myself a nice video camera instead of my Iphone then Ill get to it.

Then I got a little present from my friends for my birthday and it was some really sweet stuff.
Attachment 415033 Attachment 415034

Next I had to help out my engine a bit since I haven't laid a finger on it yet so I needed this, I bought the K&N 63-3074. It's one great addition to my car and think that it's something everyone should have.
Attachment 415035 Attachment 415036

I Painted my rims and calipers and it changed the look of the car tremendously :confused0068: To paint my calipers I used G2 paint and hey came out great. I bought Brembo stickers online so when the original paint gets painted over I still wanted everyone to see the Brembos :cool:
Attachment 415037 Attachment 415038 Attachment 415039

The after a while of thinking and asking around what would have been better then a personalized license plate. So I finally came up with one and I loved it. ARSSEN, My name is Arsen and I drive a Camaro SS. Some people didn't understand it and others thought it was amazing.

I always wanted to lower my car but then I was scared of scraping the bottom and just flat out damaging my car, but then I thought... Why not? So I dropped them an inch and man does it handle better, WOW.
Attachment 415041 Attachment 415042 Attachment 415043

So far for the backside I'm done, I think :iono:. I'm most probably going to get quad tips and make those suckers fit into those Gm Ground Effects!!! But for now here's a before and after moment...

After :
Attachment 415044

Now for the front end it's a little different, I thought to myself since I love the ZL1 front end so much might as well buy it so I did, Thanks to Gary :thumbup:. My birthday was also a few weeks ago and my friends knew exactly what I wanted for my birthday, a mod for my car and what better than to bring a little bit of my Armenian heritage to my American car. Get some Bosh horns from Armenia, TUNED :happyanim:. I will soon post a video of the horns as well becasue they are so freakishly loud:thumbup:.
