New Camaro Owner! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Kaleb49 · 07-22-2016, 09:22 AM

Hey guys and girls, my name is Kaleb. I've been reading thru these forums for about a month or two and decided to finally introduce myself. As a child I've always loved muscle cars, especially Camaros (I hate Ford). My first job ever was at a Chevy dealership, where I still work today for almost 3 years. So you mightve guessed, I'm only 20. Well my last car was a 2009 Mazdaspeed3 which I absolutely loved! It was actually a little faster than my camaro was stock. But I thought it was time to let it go and get the car of my dreams. I searched and searched and searched for a 2SS 1LE, and finally found the perfect one. I tried buying it but couldn't get approved withough putting a ridiculous amount down. Then my wife begged me to get an automatic so she can drive it. I decided to compromise since she was actually letting my buy a camaro lol. So there at work we had this beautiful car that is now mine. It's a 2013 2SS RS L99. It's black with IOM stripes and interior. I bought it a couple months ago with 15k miles, and since I work there they gave me a good deal and sold it to me for $24k. I have a pretty cool history with this car. I remember when I first started working there we had this car brand new with no miles on it, and I got to be one of the first few people to drive it. I always thought this was one of the more beautiful camaros I've ever seen. But being 17 and working part time as a Porter I could only dream of owning it. Now a few years later and after working my way up to Internet manager, my dream became reality. But anyways sorry for rambling on. Time for the mod/future mods list.

Current mods:
Interior- steering wheel bowtie stickers, LED lights
Exterior- camaro emblem removal, rear SS removal, bowties blacked out, IOM gill stripes, plastidipped wheels, LED drls, 5k HIDs, fog lights harness, blacked out side markers and rear lights, black taillight bezels, LED license plate lights
Performance-K&N air intake, muffler delete, GM strut tower brace

Future plans:
Exterior- ZL1/1LE wheels (probably replicas), gen5diy halo harness, sequential taillight harness, maybe knight Rider lights in mail slot, IOM brake calipers, chrome on bowties painted IOM, 1LE rear diffuser and front splitter
Interior- probably painting gray pieces the IOM
Engine- LT headers, corsa ZL1 exhuast or Borla atak quad tips, cam, tune (basically I want around 500 rwhp)
Suspension- don't know yet really. Do want to lower it a little. Was thinking of buying the 1LE suspension package from GM accessories

Kaleb, CONGRATS on your 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, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's 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!!
