Opinions about future mods?

It most likely I am going to get a 5th Gen Camaro "my father has a 69' so camaro love runs in the family" for my first car. I been saving up for mods to buy. Do you think this be to busy?

"this on a RS not sure if it will be 2LT or 2SS" "most likely can't get a v8 for my first car but I can dream. probably automatic because there a lot of hills and stop lights and really no where to drive to without being stopped often

most likely will never complete the list but it always good to dream

list in priority

Red ABL and dash mod

i think it should be good, but the rally stripes and hockey stripes might be too much. Pick one and itll look great, otherwise itll look like too much is going on.

Why do you say that?

Do the stang's get everything? They do double stripes, nope can't do that, they put stripes on the roof, can't do that either, oh they have a single stripe, let's not do that.

I don't think they own everything :P

Do what you like.

Just my .02 here but the red ABL and dash might be a bit tricky/expensive. If you're doing it DIY then cost shouldn't be an issue, professional install might run you a couple bucks. Don't take this as me not liking your mod idea, i think its great, I just want to give you a clue in as to how much work/trouble you'd be going through for it. If you get the IMO interior then you have orange already, so kind of close. Otherwise you will have to go out and find the LEDs, tubes, etc and completely gut your door panels to replace them, and then hopefully you have some experience with electrical work to do the dash. As if I remember right a couple diodes are involved and some tapping in to the existing ABL through the kick panel.

Again, my .02. I just wanted to give you an idea of what that mod would require from your end.

The Dash mod my highest priority so I might have to skip some stuff for it. My dad has some experience so he teaching some stuff plus I know there many shops around this area who experts at lighting and etc.

Yeah plus with all the other stuff this will be pretty expensive so to cut down I probably go with spear
