After some prompting from Camaro_RS I suppose I will start a build thread.

I ordered this car at the end of March and took delivery the first week of May. Prior to getting the car I had already picked out some mods I wanted and as of this post here are the pictures. So in about a month it has gone from stock to what you see here.

Got a call saying the car was here and hauled ass to get it!

After the detailing they let me pull it out of the bay.

Day 1 bone stock...wait til night fall.

Got it home from work and straight onto jack stands

With a little help, all of the badges and wheels were dipped before day 2.

Couple pictures from St George Island. Sorry about the bugs, I had just gotten back from Atlanta.

Not pictured yet are the footwell lights. Oddly enough those are the only pics I don't have yet. They were mod #2 if I recall.

Window Tinting done! 20% all the way around and there could be a 50% Crystalline on there too

While on a trip to Houston for some silly Ironman race I stopped in the Oracle store and grabbed the headlight halos. The scanner had to be shipped and I am still waiting on the DRL halos.

Front clip off. This is not hard at all. I actually got it all back together on my own...without hurting anything.

Headlights got baked of course. They came a part ok I suppose. Ended up cooking them twice each. Used a dremel to make sure they laid flat in the little black tray.

Headlights and scanner installed.

I should have the color matched showstopper side markers in next week and hopefully the ACS T4 splitter and rockers in this afternoon...no word on the DRL halos. Borla catback S-Type and CAI will be next.

I am super happy with the quality of the parts I have received and how the work has come out so far. There are few very minor things I need to touch up but overall I LOVE this car.

Thinking Guy Fawkes would be a good name for it.

Originally looked at this picture and thought of Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes from GI Joe but as I look at it more I see Spy vs Spy. Camaro_RS has far more show but I will get there...tomorrow!

Finally!!!!!!!!!

Black on AGM....looks sick, man. Stealth.

I still like the idea of Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. Hahahaha. Never thought of Spy vs Spy though. That's a good call!!

Guy Fawkes?!

I dig it.

After you get your splitter and side skirts on tomorrow and on Fri we're going to have to get some MAD pics of the cars together.

Oh yeah.....did I say thanks for helping me with my lights??? Not sure if I did or not??

Thanks a ton!!!!

Where's the finished product????

DefusingDanger · 05-31-2013, 09:28 AM

I'll get some better pictures today/night. I still have to snap the interior lights as well.

Anyone have thoughts on sequential taillights? I am kind of torn.

I like the sequential taillights. I haven't seen them on any 5th gens in person but I think I'd like them quite a bit. I've seen the technostalgia lights in person and I liked those as well. A local guy had those on his car but I think a lot of people have had problems with them. Not sure if that's the case with the sequential. Just my two cents.

Got a tracking number from AAC. DRL halos should ship next week. Showstopper side markers should ship today...I hope.
