Suggestions

Not sure if this is the right section please inform me if it’s not.

I bought my 2012 Camaro 1lt the 3.6l v6 about 3 or 4 months ago. Here’s a picture the day I picked it up.

Tonight I installed the zl1/1le spoiler and rear window louver.
Here’s some pics of those plus the plastidip I’ve done, hood wrap, and smoke lights.

I want to get all of your opinions/suggestions on what I’ve done so far and what I should do in the future!!


Performance mods:
Vittesse Throttle Controller
Muffler delete
Spectre Cold Air Intake

Aesthetic mods:
Plastidip side “Camaro” emblems
Plastidip Break light bezels
Plastidip Chevy Bow ties front and back
Vinyl 20% Smoked Headlights
Vinyl 20% Smoked Taillights
Vinyl Satin Black hood
Vinyl Sayin Black Gastank lid
Zl1/1le Rear Wing spoiler
Rally Racing Stripes removed on the back
Rear window louver

Sounds like your building a six banger ZL1 so really really wide black wheels and tires?

I like the wheels you have but if your doing all that black they kinda clash.
Or its just me and my dysfunctional fung shui skills.

I agree with the clashing part, I’m thinking about just getting 1.5” lowering springs and plastidipping my current wheels black until I can pick up a new pair. And a zl1 six banger.....love the sound of that. I do have the ikon zl1 style front bumper and 6th gen headlights on my to-do list!

I like MeGuiar's M62 (Amazon) car wash and I use MeGuiar's wax products. There are lots of threads here that talk about superior products and all these levels of paint protection you can use.
