Big changes... What to do next!

So in the last week I was finally able to change the one thing I hated about the 14-15 Camaros and got an amazing set of wheels! First off I needed to get the rear diffuser off. The stock SS diffuser was ugly as hell. Working at a dealership I was able to get the Z/28 diffuser for a steal!

Completely changed the look of the rear and helped out so much.

Next I worked with my new Sponsor Blaque Diamond Wheels and got an amazing set of BD-3 wheels. After some stupidity with the techs putting the wheels on the car now look even more amazing!


Now the questions is what to do next. Want to get suspension work done and eventually a pro charger. Any other upgrades y'all would recommend?

^^+1 to the 1" drop springs

My vote goes to z28 style side rockers and front splitter. That's what I'm adding next

Wow! That's good chunk of change. And, you probably had to get it painted too. I agree though, it makes back end look so much better.

Another dream mod I will do someday. lol!

Damn, I got mine in Carbon Fiber from G5 for $800 during their 30% off sale last year. I'm surprised that it's gone up so much since then.

exactly. Why GM got to the last 10% of the car and just said screw it we'll throw on some cheap plastic I'll never know. Thankfully the Z/28 came with this piece and they are losing up on what you can buy from Chevy for the 28's.

I like your choice, the car looks great.
I would consider more pieces as hixson said. I always end up living in the city now, and drainage dips in front of the parking lots and speed bumps would have me rule out any lowering. Done that in the past and dragging and pulling apart the exhaust on speed bumps and wrecking the front lower all the time wasn't worth the extra handling or looks where I lived.
I praise the ZL1 designers for making the front just high enough to clear those common height parking curbs when I pull to far in the space
