2011 First Mods

Newcomer alert ... Here is my very first post!

I've been lurking this forum for a while, but chose to stay in my "stock" lane and keep quiet. I bought a 2011 2LT RS RJT as a graduation gift to myself in 2011, and haven't done a single thing to it other than 15% tint, until now (inspired by another thread I saw on here).

I don't do any racing with it, and it's my every day car, so I'm mainly going for cosmetic mods. First changes I'm in the process of doing are installing a ZL1 front fascia, and body color matching painted bowties.

What I eventually plan on is to add chrome gills, body color matching brake caliper covers, and upgrade the exhaust to make it sound more aggressive. But for now, this is my starting point. Feel free to provide any suggestions you may have!

** Update, finally got my front end finished up!

You're probably below the equator.

(if it is fine on your end... how do you know that it is upside down??)

Get a catch can, cold air intake, Showstopper side markers for sure. Rock guards, good paint correction with sealant.

Get a catch can. IMO painting your calipers will look better than the covers.

Do you have the NPP Catback on yours and possibly a video so I could hear what it sounds like? I've done a little research so far and had found the Loudmouth and Cherrybomb as pretty good options.

No, but I heard it in person from a person. It is deep in low tone with sound during low RPM, while pretty loud enough in high RPM, which is AWESOME!!! I regret my choice of MRT V1 after hearing it.
