Just bought new Camaro...any advice or tips?
Just bought a brand new 2013 Camaro 1LT with the RS package in Victory Red with black stripes. I was thinking about a 2014 2LS same colors but zero features, so I chose the 2013. Never owned a Camaro before...any advice, tips, or neat things I could do with the car? I will also be driving this in the winter...any tips on keeping everything clean?

Plenty or wax before the snow comes. Get good mats to protect the carpets - Weather Tech.

Absolutely need front mud flaps right away.
Preferably in combination with paint protection film on the rockers & gills (and anywhere else). Search the forums, and there are plenty of threads on these. |

Stay away from the fender hash stripes unless you want to pretend it's a Mopar.

you can buy mudflaps from a dealer as a GM accessory, and think about getting a paint protection kit to protect the side fenders and front end. companies that tint windows also usually do paint protection
