Fishing for new ideas. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Alright, guys... I'm getting to a point where I'm not sure what to do to my car next!

My build thread is here, post 61 is an updated mod list: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...03#post4287403

You can see I've done a lot of mods-- most of them appearance or interior functionality-wise (except for the MRT V2.0 and the CAI). I've got a resonated Magnaflow X-Pipe coming next week and that's all I've got really planned for the immediate future.

What should I do next? I'd love some input and fresh ideas from you all.

Right now I'm thinking about the PDIM and Bluetooth setups; MAYBE a backup camera; then I want to start focusing on the engine and suspension. I plan on getting a ported throttle body as my very next purchase after I get back from my cruise at the end of the month and have money to spend again

Keep in mind that I don't want different wheels (I love my wheels) and I don't want to lower the car, since I live on a gravel road (unless it's by putting SS springs in it. No lowering springs for me).

Also-- I noticed curb rash on one wheel

I have polished aluminum SS wheels; can that be fixed?

Anyway-- give me some ideas! I hate that she's getting so many rock chips as my daily driver

but I fully intend to take her to a dozen more car shows this year... gotta do something to take people's attention away from the paint a little

The biggest thing I don't see on your mod thread is a Catch Can .. I'm running the RX can and breather . I've posted pics of the amount of oil it collects and its amazing !! That would be my Next mod for sure !!

If your looking for a big mod I'd go suspension. Check out the Eibach Pro Street coilovers.

Body colored Heritage? Custom bowties? Painted Stripes? Body colored splitter or full body kit? Just some suggestions to take the eyes away from the paint a little. Mine is a DD also and I hate those darn paint chips.

Oops, just saw the front fender stripes....count that suggestion out :-)

Haha did you see the body-color Heritage and custom Aqua Blue bow ties too?

I use to have one of those invisible car bras on my Mustang. The guy who installed it covered the whole front and below the doors. Basically everywhere you get those nasty rock chips. You couldn't notice it unless you ran your finger along the lines of the car. Saved me from getting the dings. I'm thinking of doing that with my Camaro.

It's too late for that on mine and I couldn't really justify the expense at the time. I'll probably have her repainted in a few years anyway.

I think the wheels and calipers need to be painted to match your GS stripes. Let me clarify. The inside of the wheels where the black is would look good in the color of your GS stripes.

For a second there I thought you believed I didn't know where the calipers were...

until I re-read the post!

woodstock · 02-07-2012, 02:15 PM

You can have those wheels repaired Belle,check for wheel repair specialists where you live. BTW Beautiful car.

cyberLS · 02-07-2012, 02:18 PM

Body kit time http://www.pfyc.com/SC1200.html
I would sell the spoiler and front air dam and get the ACS front splitter.

Edit: Or you could get some custom emblems from emblempros!!!
