HOW MUCH $$$ HAS CAMARO5 COST YOU? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ghost1LE · 02-05-2011, 11:41 AM

I am going to calculate right now and list:

Adams Products - $550 ( Stocked up this week )
Black-Out Kit - $120
Lighting - $175
Gauge Cluster - $355
Leather Shift Knob - $50
Plaque for HUD Spot - $26
Metro Vac - $75
Gilmour Foam Gun - $40
Heritage Grill Installed & Painted - $335

Future Mods (Very Soon):

Leather Seats - $1000+
Custom Leather Steering Wheel - $400+
Colored Halo's (Headlights and Fog-lights) - $250
Black Lower Billet Grill - $150
Custom Bowtie - $65
Lloyd Floor Mats - $150

That should be it for now. Total so far $1,725 and total soon $3,740.

I guess it could be worse

I joined trying to find more info on the 5th gen cars. I had always been a Corvette owner. As I scanned thru post's I ran across all kinds of mods. I finally decided to purchase a Camaro and went with a Nickey package. I wanted to stay more old school and nostalgic....granted if I wanted to be true old school I should have bought a 69'...but none the less I'll like it.........so it was the cost of the new car and another 41 G's.

Probably Several thousand dollars and more to come. I love looking through this site and getting ideas from all of your beautiful rides out there. Everytime I buy something i get to hear the wife say "you are the only person I know that spends thousands of dollars on things for a brand new car" Then I smile and tell her to look through Camaro5...end of story lol

I will only partially blame this site for the amount of money I have spent on mods. Camaro5 is responsible for giving me ideas and allowing me to research stuff. However, I have to blame my years on LS1Tech for giving me the incurable mod bug...

According to my handy dandy spreadsheet, the mod tally, to-date, on the 2011 Camaro is $9512.65.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! I'd love to see a list of the mods. What about motor work, what have you done. Would love to hear. How much RWHP?

Thank you for your service to our country.

Oh, the next owner will enjoy it, they just don't have to pay for it.

Too much to list. There isnt a stock piece of equipment left on it. It is capable of 1500rwhp.

Here is a link to what is going on right now. Should be finished in a week or two as it has been at Cincy Speed since July getting its make over.
