Ph4r's Car - Boobies - Build Thread
Here is my Camaro - Boobies
I am altering her a little at a time, and she will most likely never be complete, but always part of the family. Our family refers to our Camaro as our First Daughter and the Grandparents are soo proud as are we. We now actually have our first Son since 19 May 2012! The Name / Plate BOOBIES / 5318008 comes from the fact that the plate "Topless" was already taken, and she runs around most of the time with her top off! Since seeing the Camaro Coupe Concept in Detroit in 2006, I felt that GM could bring the power back. When I saw the Camaro Convertible Concept on Detroit in 2007, I decided I would make one mine! Then in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 I nearly drooled over the cars, waiting for the time that one would be mine. I need to thank my superb wife!! After 5 minutes in the new Camaro, she told me about how she loves me and that car is beautiful and great, but asked when we were getting a new exhaust because she felt it didn't sound like a car fit for her man!

I installed all the rest of the items with assistance from my wife. We love this car and plan to keep it in the household for many many years to come. We have a low and slow approach to our mods with about a 8 or so year plan laid out so far to keep the yearly investment down to a manageable level for a small young family. |

Well, It is now 2012 and time to start installing Modifications. The first thing that I just had to install was my new Lighted Wind Restrictor with Brake Module. Here are all the components as I received them Attachment 342129 All bundled up, once I removed it from the box Attachment 342131 All Items laid out ready to go Attachment 342130 Testing the battery feature of the Brake Module before installation **Battery not included** Attachment 342132 Before Install Attachment 342133 After Install - View 1 Attachment 342134 After Install - View 2 Attachment 342135 After Install - View 3 Attachment 342136 ABL Brightness Attachment 342137 Brake Brightness Going through the modes and playing with the ABL Dimmer! There is still ice outside my garage door, so I didn't want to open it. I apologize for the off-angle photo's and video, better ones will come in the future! Attachment 348930 This is as viewed through my 20% Tint on the Rear Window! Bull Brightness Red when I press the brake. 16 Mar 2012 The next thing that I installed are my JWM Tag LED's, this make a huge impact on the rear of the vehicle and brighten not only your license plate, but even the ground near them. Attachment 348933 Stock on the Right, LED on the Left Attachment 348934 Both Sides LED Attachment 348935 Close-up with both sides LED - Very Clear!! 17 Mar 2012 It was a busy weekend, and the next item up was my Stealth Bulbs for the front turn signals, this is a small modification, but it makes a lot of difference in accenting the front of the car, and would be especially important on a darker color car than my own, but I felt it was necessary. Attachment 348937 Stock Attachment 348938 Retail Package Front Attachment 348939 Retail Package Rear Attachment 348940 Stealth on the Left, Stock on the Right Attachment 348941 Both as Stealth Attachment 348942 Four-Way Hazards on - they still light up bright Amber 17 Mar 2012 MAF Sensor Thanks Becky and Maureen from Rodgers Chevrolet for coming through and getting me a Strong MAF Sensor which should help me out short term and for when I get my new Ram Air Intake next year! Attachment 348943 Out with the W, in with the K19! 19 Mar 2012 Last but not least for this weekend (Monday counts, right?), are my new DRL's!!! We go to local car shows, and attend meetings for our local 5th Gen Camaro Club [Detroit], so we see what other people have and that helps us generate a list of what we do and don't like... We don't like the Stock DRL Color, at all! My wife said they have to go and we need something that matches at least somewhat, the Stock looks old and ugly to us. We saw some people have the second Gen AAC Plasma bulbs (with the LED Driver, without the 4W Front LED) and they are very very Blue. We wanted to add third Gen AAC Plasma bulbs (with the LED Driver and the 4W Front LED), but after what we saw from the last gen, we decided that we weren't going to buy those until we saw them in person. Then I stumbled upon V-Leds, who previously had the SMD-Style P13W LED Bulbs which I don't find aesthetically pleasing. They now carry a set of Plasma options, the set part there is very important. AAC claims that their Plasma's are 6000k-8000k equivalent and there are not batch promises, with the best of their Plasma's still easily visible as Blue. V-Leds offer two batches, one at 5000k, and another at 6000k. The Stock RS HID's are 4300k, and 5000k is much closer to it than 6000k (at best). So I took a plunge, and boy did it pay off!! To start, they are half the price of AAC's option, and to make things better they look GREAT! Attachment 348948 Stock Attachment 348949 Stock on Left, LED on Right Attachment 348950 Both LED Attachment 348951 After Self-Made Harness Install & Remounted Stock Bulb on Left for Reality Check Again, LOL, yes the new bulbs look that much better!! Attachment 348952 All ON, and looking Great! Attachment 348959 I can't lie, these do have a slight tinge of Blue to them when viewed at night, but it is very unnoticeable. The camera really exaggerates the effect, but they still look marvelous! OMG We LOVE how close of a Color Match these are, we are glad we waited and stumbled upon such a great find! 02 Apr 2012 AAC Reverse LED's and LED SideMarkers Install, I completed this in two hours including the time it took to decide that the regular LED Reverse Lights needed to be tinted to look right on our car, then cutting and installing the tint also! Attachment 354537 First I chose to remove the rear fascia, and here is my girl with her butt hanging out... Rear Fascia removed Attachment 354542 Passenger Side Before [Off] Attachment 354541 Passenger Side After [Off] Attachment 354540 Close-up of a Reverse Light ON (Sorry she's soo dirty, I got caught in the rain a few days ago and hadn't gotten to cleaning her yet). I think that is just about it for cosmetic mods this year. Maybe I'll change the dome light and trunk light, but that's about it. Now, I have to figure out what I am doing about my missing underbody brace... stay tuned for further developments. 13 Apr 2012 Our new baby is getting closer, so here is a shot of our current family and a couple more of the car. http://www.detroit5thgen.com/public/...781.JPG?c=2c4f Our Current Family Photo http://www.detroit5thgen.com/public/...ae8.JPG?c=e899 What you see coming at you http://www.detroit5thgen.com/public/...658.JPG?c=2265 What you see once we've passed you, Her Upside-Down nametag! We also now have a plan to replace my missing underbody brace. We cut metal on Monday! 02 May 2012 I just realized that I hadn't posted any pictures of the new custom brace yet, so here we go. I was in a rush to install it and leave work the day we finished it, I forgot to take pictures of it after we sprayed it with BedLiner. Attachment 366168 Loose Metal waiting to be welded. Note how we accidentally drilled the wrong holes in one side and had to add a few more. Attachment 366170 Still loose metal from another view. Good perk of working at an engineering house, full-size plots! Attachment 366171 Welded together and Primered! I'm not sure that it is evident in these pictures, but we welded end caps on the square tube as well. Total weight felt to be about 40 Lbs which I am sure is much heavier than stock, but boy can I feel the difference in the car. |

I think you put people in an awkward spot when the "preview" of the thread mentions "your daughter" and "boobies" in the same sentence. Kinda leaves ya going "ewwww" I almost didn't even click because I wasn't sure what I'd see. I personally like boobies, so I took a chance :D
*cue the banjoes* RUUUNNNNN!! Otherwise, sweet ride. Looks really sharp and I normally don't go for drop tops. That interior looks perfect with the outside color. |
