Winter(ish) Mod on my SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

richj92 · 02-05-2016, 08:30 AM

I am not entirely sure if it is winter or not anymore, but it is snowing right now. Nonetheless, I just got this done to my camaro. And for everyone who knows about my turbo problems, this time it is fixed for real. New PCV setup, new turbo, no more smoke screens!

(Can't see it really in the pics but the roof is gloss black as well)

Looks great!

How do you like the rear louver? I'm interested in one but not sure how I feel about it...whats the visibility like out of it?

The_Driver · 02-07-2016, 08:54 PM

I really like the black roof. It makes me wonder why GM never offered it as an option on the 5th gen. I think the 4th gen had a black roof option in certain model years.

wrapped? time to tint the reverse lights

BTRSS · 02-08-2016, 09:49 AM

Nice job. Are the window louvers plastic or metal? I have them on my `81 Z28 and loved them. Thinking about adding them to the SS.

Thanks everyone.

Originally I was going to just have them put new stripes on from the bottom of the front bumper to the bottom of the rear, but after I saw some of their other projects I decided to cover the whole thing.

It is a matte charcoal and gloss black combo. Looks really nice in person too.

It's a vinyl wrap for all of it and they did a really great job. They disassemble the entire car; every single piece (outside that is) is removed and wrapped. They don't cut around objects, so it looks insane. The headliner comes off so they can remove the shark fin; the plastic traps that are on the driver/passenger sides of the roof come off; door handles; literally everything. Once the shows get up and running again you guys can check it out for yourselves. ACI Dynamix has a 3 year warranty for the wrap on paper, but will work with you afterwards too, they stand by their work 100%. They were also half the cost of other shops I checked out and with wrap it however you want NP. You can check out their site and Facebook to see their work!

Louvers: I have the metal MRT ones and the visibility is as if they aren't even there. From inside, it looks like the rear defrost lines. Though I honestly only have them because my buddy sold them to me in the box for $200 lol.

For the tail lights, I really need to tint them, but I'm thinking of changing them out because they are the afterburners and i keep having problems with my battery dying since they suck juice 24/7. Maybe I will give them a call/email first to see if there is a fix I can do.

Looking good man!

Glad you liked it Rich. I didn't get a chance to help mike with the wrap but I did take pretty much everything apart for you haha I am the camaro expert there after all.
