I am getting my garage ready, getting some accessories ordered, doing some research, occupying my time. It'll come....

i bought that adams deal of the day thing. ( two microfiber towels, a gallon of detailer spray, a funnel, plus an already full bottle of spray) for 45ish bucks!!!!! cant beat that

and im also bobbling the idea of a vararam around..not sure if i want to pull the trigger this soon yet or not.

Car cover and locking fuel cap have arrived. License plate frame (yellow painted) is in transit.

Quarter flares and heritage grill are in the queue -- will probably pull the trigger on them this weekend or early next week. Might do a nano bra as well or at least something over the gill area.

I can't install some of this stuff for a while (until the car is officially mine) so I'm not in a huge hurry.

Great deal on the Adams stuff. I need to get some more detailing supplies soon. Just repaired a water spigot -- not going to be taking this baby through an automatic carwash

Bored, so I ordered some parts. Heritage Grill, Quarter Flares, Cargo Mat, Cargo Net, Cover Lock (already have the cover). Since the Heritage Grill comes with a bow tie, now I need to determine if I get that one blacked out, body color painted, leave it alone, or ??

Is this the polished one? Do you have a part # or a URL?

Already have my ******** factory amp replacement kit harness (got the second to last one). Just waiting to get the car to start working on the rest of the audio upgrade.

Hang in there guys!

I'm going to see how I like the audio system first before I start hacking away at that. I didn't think to take some tunes with me when I test drove the vehicle, and my kids were in the back (did not feel like blasting them out of the car).

******** does have some nice stuff -- might look into this:

Still at 4B00 . . .

I don't expect my car to ship overnight, so while occupying my time and surfing for all things Camaro I checked my dealer's inventory to see if they had any 2012s in stock. I was surprised to see my order listed as part of their inventory, although it was labeled "In Transit" . When I checked the details it was definitely my order. I clicked on "Window Sticker" and got a GM error message saying that it was an invalid VIN or that the car was already sold. That gave me some comfort.

Anyone else waiting for their car check their dealer's online inventory?

Thanks, I am already looking at those, but for now I am going to just update the amp to a JL Audio XD700/5 and see how it sounds. It is supposed to make a big difference. It may already be good enough for me. If I feel like I need more bass or better speakers I will work on that next.

Bayed...

[Camaro_krazee]

well.....
no brainer....my car didn't get built this past week....duh!
I'm beginning to think the constraints DO apply to all. Daaaayyyyuuuuuummmm!
Totally frustrating!! Guess it may be time to make some noise at my dealer??....dunno. I'm just pi$$ed!

Cool! Are you getting stripes? It might be shipping somewhere else first -- 4106 (Bailment Released) is the one you really really want to see
