Thanks for reading!

Finally finished reading your thread and am impressed at the level of detail you put in to your mods. Obvious thought went in to what, how and when you would do them. I have also said "I try to make it look like it is supposed to look".

On my 2012 "Synergy" edition, I bought it, planned and did all the mods in a few months and have been driving it with a smile now for 3 years !

I put some thought in to the front of mine to "make it look like it is supposed to look".
Went with Black Heritage Grill, Black Vinyl below Headlights, Chrome Turn Signal Bulbs (so the yellow would not show when off), Billet Bowtie that I had de-textured and painted gloss black, and to finish off the 'blackout' ... I ended up with three different levels of tint to get the right look - 10% Headlights, 20% Turn Signals, 30% DRL's.
Speaking of DRL's, I also did the DLR Harness so Halos and DRL's would be on simultaneously and painted the DRL Bezels and the Lower Grill Gloss Black.
^^^ that wrapped up the front end that I imagined...
Did the same level of thought on the rest of the exterior, engine compartment and interior. No Performance Mods as this is my Daily Driver.

I do not have a "Build Thread" here on Camaro5 but have all the pictures and stories in other places.



Thank you for sharing the story about gram... Hit home because I do the same to remember a dear friend of mine (necklace).

Glad that you got COTW and actually because of your thread...
- I looked up Spring Motorsports and Ron Fellows school of driving.
- Buying front Splash Guards from RPI (to protect my Gills)
- Considering new Rims - Chrome OEM style.

Awesome to hear from you man. Sounds like you have a lot of nice mods going on. I love the 12 synergy as well. Seeing that car in person is what inspired me to put out 2 grand for ground effects! Thanks for your kind words and I appreciate you checking out my thread!

Awesome build and very inspirational. Makes me want to empty my pockets.

I like that you did not sheep it, you made it your own, and that is what makes it so awesome (explains all those awards). Your car has a very aggressive look to it, plus I really dig the wheels. You know what mod is next right? Got to take it to that shop that makes the Trans-Am look-a-likes and have T-Tops installed, you know, to have the Gen 3/4 memories.

The before / after pics of your P13W Fog Light Bulbs convinces me to update mine. What's brand did you go with?

matthew, what a great ride.

Facetiously speaking, I don't like you much, after reading through this build thread. Makes me want about $10K so I can get everything I have in mind for my 2015 and get started on really adding in the touches to make it a 1LT ES.

Only mod I've done so far was upgrading the overhead console to include the Homelink Garage door remote.
