New to the group!
Hey all,
Just got back into the world of pony cars! I've owned a 96' Firebird, 00' Mustang, 02' Mustang, and an 02' SOM Camaro SS. Drove trucks for years and then last weekend made the jump back into the world of fun! Picked up my 2017 1SS convertible! Love this car. Car is completely factory. I slapped a coat of Plastidip on the wheels a couple days ago. Plan to powder coat them black later on down the road. Ordering my Red Fender Hash Marks this weekend and next week I'm getting a quote on Magnaflow and Borla catback systems. Exhaust guy was busy this weekend. You guys have some amazing rides!

Just washed and waxed. Put the red stripes on the wheels to. Keep them or take them off?

Sweet ride! I like the red on the wheels. It accents the car nicely. Are the accents PlastiDip or vinyl?

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.
oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!!

The accents are vinyl. But plan on painting them with plastidip matte red. Did the vinyl as a test run. This winter when I park the car I found a guy that will powder coat for around $150 per wheel.

If you’re planning on keeping the PlastiDip on for a while, you should get a Glossifier or Metalizer coat on it to make it pop some more

Tried to get the metallizer but no one local carries it. I'd have to order it
