New Camaro, What to do first, second etc....

Hey there my fellow Camaro family and friends, just purchased a pre owned 2014 Camaro 2SS/1LE black on black with Recaro seats, nav, aux gauge pkg, RS pkg. I am in love with it and just want some opinions of what people would recommend to start ading for some mino performance an aesthetic upgrades. The previous owner has alrady welded on a pretty nice Magnaflow exhaust cat-back and put a K&N CAI on there. Where would you go with it from there? Thanks everyone and hope to see everyone around the world eventually in there Camaros!

First we recommend posting pics. We dont like to be teased here. As far as mods go, I own a V6 and V6's are frowned upon by many of the members here. Mostly V8 guys, so the only mod i would recommend would be some tint. Other than that, its above my pay grade.

Congrats on a sweet new ride! Everyone is going to say "didn't happen without pics" so I'll start off by saying let's see the new ride. After taking pics and posting here, the first mods I would recommend are ported throttle body, and whether you are or aren't concerned about warranty will dictate whether I'd say go for headers or not. If you don't care about warranty then I'd say go with long tube headers with or without cats, up to you and a tune for the car. If you want to retain your warranty, then go with some high flow cats like JBA or Solo. Should really wake the care up both in sound and performance. After that it can get wild, either from a cosmetic stance or a performance aspect. There's always superchargers/turbos, cams, etc. etc.

like said above, def knock out the no-brainers.
window tint
Ported throttle body (either Bo White or V Max)
read about the "fuse pull" go ahead and do that. (may not be needed, but it doesn't hurt.)
Catch can
I like the Apex winshield washer bottle relocate and air scoop. (roto fab makes one too)
wheels
lowering springs

other than that you need to know what direction you plan to take the car before anyone can help you better.

For power? Headers and a tune. Hands down, best bang for the buck. You will think someone stuck a different engine in your car. It's that good. Lots of great tuners in Texas, so you are lucky there.

Very nice ride! Congrats! I would recommend an Elite Catch Can to keep all that nasty oil vapor out of the intake system. VMAX Ported TB is inexpensive and an easy upgrade as well. For looks, maybe an Oracle lighted rear bow tie?

Kind regards,
