UPDATES!!!!!!!! new pics!

HEY CAMARO FAMILY. Im 20 y/o and brought the car in August with 6 miles on it. Its a 2011 2LS (as stock as stock can get lol). Tossed around a couple of ideas that i liked(after purchasing of course) and came up with a great finishing look. NO ENGINE MODS YET!, I went for appearance first! Its a DD for me and I keep it clean despite the DMV area weather changes. Here's a few pictures of before and after, tell me what you all think.
PS- I did everything on this CAMARO myself. No shop help at all, just the DIY section from Camaro5 and helpful tips from buddies.

1 day old(brand new)

Hated the front plate bracket(told dealer to remove the next day)
then had to fill hideous holes with white screws

painted interior and both bowties

Plasti dipped the front, added fog lights, added front gfx and vinyl covered bowties

Added MRT V.1 (Cut an inch forward so tips will stick out more), blacked out tailights, tailight bezels, and side markers

LEDGLOW for the interior and exterior

Added side fender stripes, painted rings on heritage wheels,painted gas cover, and painted side mirrors

Put bumble bee stripes on and changed parking lights to RED

A few finishing shots....

halos installed
caliper covers installed
and 20 inch MS rims installed

A few future mods to come.......halos, intake, tuner, black and white seats, floor mats,and side gfx

new pics

surgery started!

added new grill and halo in the fogs

complete

technostalgia led lights also installed

blacked out when lights are off

hood pins installed

Other random pictures

and yes I have RS badges on the side of my car and its a LS......RS is my initials so im leaving them!

Thanks guys

Very nice work. Yours came with a spoiler? Mine did not. Fyi, it is against the law to have red lights on your front of the vehicle while driving. You might have to change your turn signals back to amber.

Did you install your stripes yourself?

SMITTY8 · 01-25-2012, 06:56 PM

Lol yes mines came with a spoiler and I know It's against the law, had a few conversations with cops about it lol. And yes me and my brother installed them. Took about 2 1/2 hours
