the camaro is SW
-painted sky blue stripes
-get the grille painted white
-RK Sport back spolier painted white
-get the in door panels painted the sky blue to match my stripes
-some some nice blue ambient lighting aftermarket mod
-looking for new wheels but havent found anything that gets me really excited
-blue oracle halos
-rear halo lights

Are we talking just aethstetic mods or performance too? Cuz I would get an Airraid CAI and a Borla Cat-Back exhaust if I was you!

If you are going with the LS, I would get some wheels and tires, CAI,tune, and drop/sway kit.

Definitely look into some Eibach springs to give it a more aggressive stance. It will help it handle a little bit better as well. Throw some sway bars on along with the springs and it will be like a whole different car.

thanks for the opinions guys, im looking for mods that deal with appearance not as much performance

fourmz · 07-30-2010, 11:22 AM

If you are going for appearance then the list you have above should look pretty good. The first thing I would change on an LS would be the wheels and tires.

Nice idea for the white with blue combo. I've never seen that pulled off before. As said above, since you can't get the RS package, I would definitely go for upgraded wheels and tires. The 20"s just look so intimidating. Also, you're gonna end up spending A LOT just to get those halo lights put in. Just my opinion, but you'll probably be better off sticking with the 1LT and getting the RS package (not an option on LS).

HALO's aren't illegal. Blue LED's on the other hand, ARE illegal in most states. I also would have gone with the 1LT and gotten the RS package. A lot more will come with it that you can use or trade/sell for other items.

Be careful of the colored halos. Here in AZ it would be ticket time. No blue or red on the front. Get some inserts or decals for the fake vents on the quarterpanels. Looks a lot better and costs next to nothing.

nards444 · 08-01-2010, 09:59 AM

That V6 is pretty much maxed out unless you were to charge it. Beyong a CAI in my IMO is waste of money really not much else to do. personally im more about performance I would have used that extra money to get an SS. But to each his own.

Not AM, but I'd say go for a set of 4-pack gauges... They just look right
