Hey everyone....Kinda new around here, but I'm ready to start some mods one piece at a time. I kinda have an IDEA of what I'm after, but of course I NEED/WANT opinions as I go on BEST BRANDS AND ETC!!!

This will be a LONG TIME CONSUMING THREAD as a I will only do a few things at a time(military pay isnt the greatest, especially with kids/wife

), but they WILL be coming!!

Performance
1. Oil Catch Can
2. Eibach Lowering Springs
3. CIA (roto fab/injen)
4. Exhaust

Exterior
1. Window tint (done)
2. Bowtie delete (in work)
3. Tail light and side marker tint
4. Engine dress up (eng cover, fuse box lid, etc.)
5. White LED's under the car (tasteful, NOT RICE!! lol)

Here is the car currently:

MIT'13 · 02-18-2012, 07:45 PM

nice, now let the modding begin!

collinsRS · 02-19-2012, 12:29 AM

Thanks guys...bowtie delete is en route.

So, question....to stripe or not to stripe? Thoughts?

Jaime068 · 02-19-2012, 12:31 AM

Stripes........Mine didn't have any but once I installed some it added more to its looks

camaro_RS · 02-19-2012, 12:48 AM

I vote not to stripe unless they're painted on!!

camaro_RS · 02-19-2012, 12:50 AM

Also....your car was the same as mine stock....except mine was a 2011. It's been fun modding. I'm sure you're addicted already!!

Just something about a white camaro with TINT!!! Looks great! Congrats and welcome to the club....

tr1gger · 02-19-2012, 08:25 AM

Welcome! Scratch the under lights though...

collinsRS · 02-19-2012, 07:46 PM

^ thanks for th advice on the lights!

collinsRS · 02-26-2012, 08:20 PM

Update!

Wheels/Tires have been purchased. Got a GREAT deal on some OEM SS rims..Gloss Black PC w/clear. 245 in front 305 outback..1 has about a 5" curb rash, but very small...using gloss black model paint and then doing white vinyl rim stripes on them...they are shipping in the morning.

Buys:
White 20" wheel stripe vinyl
LED license plate lights(match headlights/halos perfect)
LED fog light bulbs (match headlights/halos perfect)
Gloss Black hood spears (temporary until I go with the stripes)
Krylon Fusion White gloss (DIY engine cover and fuse box)

To buy:
Tailight/sidemarker blackout kit
Stainless Onyx CAMARO lettering for rear
Lowering Springs

This is the stuff I'll have done before C5Fest

I'll get pics of the rims/spears/lights installed sometime when it all arrives..

It's fun to have a plan, and then go a different route...of course $$ makes a big factor but I'm happy so far!

I definitely want to see how this turns out.
