1. CAI & Catback
2. Maybe a tune (not positive yet?)
3. Full stripes (not from Chevy) probably green or red
4. Lowering with a set of rims (still choosing)
5. Depending on how I like the BOSE soundsysteam, maybe throw in a sub and amp..(as I'm going from an 800watt amp powering two ten inch subs and two tweeters)


well don't even have the car on order yet but I will and those are my plans for it unless i end up with maybe a z/28? lol

Before purchasing a CAI, you should read this thread...

Unfortunately, Hennessey has not stepped up to the plate as of yet which is speaking volumes...

1) Tint
2) Bow tie colors, debating black or silver.
3) Gill accents.
4) Possibly blacking out lights and side markers.


Anyone seen a SIM with blacked out tail lights and side markers? Debating if i should. Not sure if it would look better or cheapen it.

I'm glad I put this post up, it's really interesting hearing the upgrades you all are doing. How about posting some cost's for your upgrades so everyone can get an idea of what this stuff cost.

Russ
I added mine up and I will be spending probably a little over 10k lol but not all at once, prob within a year to year and a half

I had most of mine before the car arrived. The first day I had my car I painted my calipers orange, installed the '68' fender badges, installed the '69' header badge on the dash, orange bowties on the wheel center caps, orange front and back bowties. all thats left for now is to get my head rests embroidered.

tint, exhaust, intake, lowering kit, Hurst, and that'll probably do it.

I just got the new DefenderWorx chrome "Camaro" locking refuel door.

Don't waste your money. The lock broke in 1 minute, one of the 2 (very cheap) keys broke right after. The lock doesn't fit very well, latch doesn't fit well, the whole premise is just WRONG. Now I've clipped my original door mount - as required - so I can't go back to the original door, and I've got a very pretty door that doesn't lock, and even if it did, doesn't work very well.

For $189.00 I expected a lot better than this.

Update: I am in contact with Defenderworx, they are sending me a replacement lock and key with no problem. Apparently, they are even going to call me for further input.
