2002 Z28
Hopefully it's ok to make one of these threads about a non-5th gen Camaro. Figured hey it's still a Camaro so why not.
I'm sure most of you by now know that I used to have a 2010 1LT/RS..pic in my avatar..which now be longs to dsirmans (username on Camaro5). After some family issues I was forced to give it up and I then bought a 2005 Silverado Z71. It was a great truck and I wouldn't mind owning another one some day but after driving it for a few months I realized just how much I missed my Camaro. One night while I was at work I was looking at some used car listings (third shift retail can get very slow at times, lol) and saw that a dealership about 1/2 a mile down the road from work had an 02 Z28 listed. Didn't say much other than it was auto and had t-tops. They also had listed a 98 Camaro Z28 convertible with an LT1 ![]() ![]() ![]() When I bought the car I was the 3rd owner and she only had 50k miles on her. One of the previous owners installed the SLP Loudmouth II exhaust with quad tips (the tips are going to be changed soon..I hate the quad look on these cars). Other than the exhaust and window tint (which is showing its age..soon to be redone) the car was bone stock. First thing I did was remove the dealership's name from the car (sticker, plate frame, and front plate). Since the car was originally sold in Virginia and then in Maryland it's always had a front plate. Since Pennsylvania doesn't require I front plate I drilled out the rivets that held the front plate frame in place and of course now I'm stuck with holes in my grille. I think I'm going to replace the stock grille with one of the billet ones with the 69 style bowtie on it. Or maybe the black SLP grille with the red bowtie. Haven't decided for sure yet. I'm fairly certain this car has every available option for a 2002 Z28 coupe..leather, auto, t-tops, Monsoon stereo, keyless entry, steering wheel radio controls. Mods so far (not shown in the pictures..they were taken a couple days after I got her) Volant Cold Air Intake SLP Loudmouth II exhaust (previous owner) UMI Performance Shock Tower Brace Replaced Z28 fender emblems with 5th gen CAMARO lettering (as a tribute to my previous Camaro) Replaced rear Z28 emblem with Emblem Pros ZR1 style Z28 emblem (left the stock red bowtie as is) Replaced nose emblem with Emblem Pros Z28 nose emblem Added stainless inserts in the rear CAMARO lettering Painted brake calipers red with silver CAMARO lettering Not really a mod but I had to put on new Falken all season tires (was a lot of fun "using up" the tires that came with her ![]() Mods ordered but not here yet: SLP 25% Underdrive pulley and required belts SLP Chrome lug nut caps (I'm missing a few of my stock black ones) Mods I want to do (this is gonna be a llloooonnngggg list lol) American Racing torque thrust wheels 17" chrome (probably on Pirelli P Zeros like my 5th gen) Cowl hood of some kind Throttle Body Dyno tune Lowering Springs Sub frame connectors Sway bars Cam..no clue where to start with that, anything I read on the subject gives me headache ![]() Redo the window tint Drilled and slotted rotors and new pads Heavy duty plugs and wires Upgraded stereo..right now my passenger door speaker rattles something awful Headers Probably forgetting a ton of stuff but that's what's on the top of my mind right now. ![]() I'm open to suggestions from 4th gen owners past or present but I'm trying to stick with stuff that can be undone (should 4th gen prices skyrocket ![]() ![]() So for now here's some pics as I got her. Once this snow goes away and I have a chance for some pictures I'll post them up. Meanwhile enjoy the pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Just got a box from SLP on Friday morning with my new pulley and lug nut covers. Think I'm going to hold off on doing the pulley until it gets warmer out. SLP sure ships their stuff out fast though. I ordered Thursday morning and 24 hours later the UPS guy is dropping off a box. I'll try and get some pics once it gets light out. ![]() ![]()

Just found out my new personized plate was approved.."NOT FAST". I just ordered a custom license plate frame that says "JUST KIDDING". I'll post pics once I get them on the car.
