Cool IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!

If it wasn't for you lot I'd be happily driving around in a factory spec SS/RS and none the wiser to what changes I could make.
However now because of you, I not only knew what could be done, but how to do it.
Because of you I have found myself under a car at 1am.
I hope you feel guilty.

Here's a list and some photos of what you made me do

List of Mods includes

Stillen Front Splitter - http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...T&model=CAMARO
Window Tint - Sides and Rear to GA legal limit. Excellent work by the guys at http://soundproconyers.com/
GMPP exhaust - http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...umber=92206992 Installed by service shop at John Miles Chevy
SLP Spoiler - http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=100041 Expertly painted by Rod Fathers in Conyers http://www.rodfatherscandc.com/
Barton Short Shifter - http://www.bartonindustries.com/BUY-...ter---Acc.html
Pfadt Sport Suspension Package http://www.pfadtracing.com/catalog/p...roducts_id/180 Purchased and Professionally Installed @ Vengeance Racing http://www.vengeancerd.com/
Airaid CAI - http://www.magnaflowplus.com/showite...ntake%20System
Center Cap Overlays - http://www.thestickerwitch.com/
Chevrolet Sill Overlays - http://www.thestickerwitch.com/
V8 Engine Cover Overlay - http://www.thestickerwitch.com/
Red Engine Cover - http://gmaccessoriesstore.com/images...ne%20cover.JPG purchased from John Miles Chevy
Thin Vent Gills - http://www.thestickerwitch.com/
DRL Fog Light Harness - http://www.adaptiveperformance.com/camarodrl.htm
Skip Shift Eliminator Harness - http://www.adaptiveperformance.com/SKIPSHIFT.htm
G2 Brake Caliper Paint Kit - http://www.eagleday.com/brcapaki.html
Brembo Hi-Temp Silver Decals - http://stores.ebay.com/dindecal
LED Flog Light Bulbs - http://www.automotivelightstore.com/P13W.aspx
Red Bow Tie Floor Mats - http://www.lloydmats.com/images/819185_BOWTIE-RED.jpg
Camaro SS License Frame Holder - http://www.chevymall.com/All-New-Cam...info/GC707-70/

In truth I had considered the 21" wheel option but I thought there was more I could do with $5000.
So far my mods have cost under $4400. Think I could get a supercharger for $600?


Joking aside thanks to all the folks on here who have helped preparing DIY guides.
Here are some of the Mod Installation & Discussion Links I have used.

i think it looks good, but i wouldn't have spent $4400 and only got an intake and exhaust... IMHO, after spending all that money and still can be beat by a stock 11 GT would upset me...

Russo if I judge by your avatar photo you like me are a road racing fan in which case you should regard the suspension kit with sway bars and the short throw shifter as performance improvements also.

Of course there is also the fact that I was faster than all the GTs for a year before the 11 GT came along

Thanks.

I didn't have to remove it. There is nothing you have to do from inside the bumper so I don't know why they suggest that other than make it easier to work on.

Raise the car and then get a couple of friends to hold the splitter in place while you secure the center screws from below (15 mins work with most of that being sure, sure and absolutely sure you have it in the right place. Then they can leave and you can peel the adhesive liner off each side and bond it in place.

My only complaint would be that I would like the contour on the top of the three center struts to better match that of the bottom suface of the bumper. You end up with a very slight gap that I see every time I lay my head flat on the ground in front of my car.................In other words I'm the only person who notices
