Found a Surprise In the Trunk of My 2010 Camaro! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I found a nice little surprise in the trunk of the Camaro while I was replacing my 11 year old OEM battery over the Easter week-end. I ended up going with a MotoMaster Eliminator AGM battery from Canadian Tire. Hopefully it lasts as long as the OEM did!

Now on to the surprise.

Tucked all the way at the back of the trunk, just behind the rear seat and under the trunk carpet was a long black canvas carry case, about 3 feet long by 4 inches square. Inside the case was what looked like a portable projection screen, but it was an original Callaway Camaro display from 2010 that Wilson Niblett Motors used to promote the Callawy Camaro.

I can't believe that I never spotted this before, but in the 10+ years that I've owned this car, I've never completely removed the carpet from the trunk. I just rolled it back towards the seat when I put a charger on the battery.

I was expected a dead body but this is way cooler. Can’t believe you never saw that before lol

In my defense, it was all the way at the back of the trunk covered by the carpet LOL

Definitely a cool find
