List of Camaro5 DIYs
 

I've been slowly compiling a quick guide list for all of you to view and use similar to the helpful links thread I started in the 4th gen section.

Some guides have not been selected, mainly due to lack of pics or detailed examples. Because like the old addage goes "A picture is worth a thousand words". I will be sending pm's to members who have already added a guide for more detail/pictures in certain areas because while some members might know what a part is or where its located, other members (and guests) reading the thread might not know exactly where/what someone is talking about. And in an effort to assist our fellow members (and to add to our database here), I want to ensure that we have the most up-to-date and precise information. This is still in work so bear with me as things get added.

Also, I will add the disclaimer that these articles are submitted by auto enthusiasts like yourself, and therefore Camaro5.com cannot be held responsible for any damage done to your personal property, or any injuries you sustain. Some of the articles may describe work that may void your car's warranty (if you still have one), and once again, Camaro5.com can not be held responsible for such things. By viewing the articles posted here you agree not to hold Camaro5.com liable for any damage, accidents, or any other harm to any of your possessions that may occur. Thank you for understanding.
