New Camaro, What to do first, second etc....

[8balldeluxe]

The first requirement is to enjoy your new ride today.

Moddin the new ride comes tomorrow.

In that order.

Headers and a good tune absolutely first. I recommend Stainless Power long tubes, priced very well and they're the same design as Stainless Works' US made line.

Aesthetics are all up to you. Window tint is a solid choice. Tinted lights if you'd like... I dig it on my white car. Are the 1LE calipers painted? Nice detail to do if not... Take a look around the cosmetic section and photo section. You'll get plenty of inspiration.

The previous owner has alrady welded on a pretty nice Magnaflow exhaust cat-back and put a K&N CAI on there. Where would you go with it from there? Thanks everyone and hope to see everyone around the world eventually in there Camaros!

Awesome ride, looks great. It begs the question though, what happen to the original owner? They did some decent mods on it, and then had to bail on it? Were you given any info on it?

MORE TO COME LATER ON!!

It may just be me, but that thin chrome line between the hood and the grill, really makes everything stand out. Beautiful Maro........ I mean Camaro, Camaro. Forgot Maro isnt an acceptable word here.

[JCunningham]

your car needs nothing cosmetic other then turn the chrome strip above the grill black. Get a shifter. then headers and a tune. then id be done with it. It would be perfect

[JCunningham]

is the hood sitting lower then the bumper cover?

Saw that too?



Very nice ride!

[MrChrisLS3]

Beautiful car! Congrats.

I would suggest holding off briefly on any mods. Why?

First give yourself a chance to get to know the car. See what it does well and then decide what you need it to do better. We all have different ideas and expectations in the regard. Don't throw money at stuff that doesn't work for you.

Second, you said you bought the car used. I would give it a few thousand miles to make sure everything is solid before opening that warranty can of worms that modifications can sometimes create.

Beautiful ride! There is a 1LE specific section on C5 too, just FYI. I have done a SHIT TON of mods to my 1LE. But first and foremost...best mod/upgrade was the Xpel clear bra on all front facing surfaces including the gils. Trust me...it will be your best money spent! Everything else you do is worthless if the paint gets beat to shit from stone chips. These 1LE tires pick up EVERYTHING they go over...every stone or rock or fleck of fine grain dirt! They all chip rockers, bottom of doors, gils, etc.

After that I say- ZL1 rockers, stone gaurds front and rear, black lugs, headers, PTB, High flow cats, catch can, CAI, body color bow ties, body colored oracle LED side markers, etc.

Here is my ride...

Congrats!! Looking good!

[snarky]

dat car be sexy.

mod the hell out of it then sell it in a year taking a ten thousand dollar hit.
that seems to be trending here.

Do headers, and scrap the K&N. Not sure if vararam intakes fit the 2014 models, but if they do, go for that. A good intake, long tube headers, nice exhaust and dyno tune will really wake up the car and make it sound like a real muscle car

Looks great!

[DFWZ28]

that is a sweet ride. triple black is greatness.
