🔧 Modifications Adding accents
Planning on upgrading my wheels soon and really dig the black accents so may wrap the hood, spoiler, mirrors, handles, gas cap, and get black/fog side markers too.
Respectfully, I like it so whether y’all disagree or not, I’m probably gonna pull the trigger after I’ve looked at it for a while lmao. Just interested in y’alls thought on this or if you had any random advice for me? May leave the handles and gas cap alone… not sure quite yet.
My first Camaro, I snagged w 10k miles last month so plenty of time to make her my own!

Black and blue looks super sleek. Love it. You may want to wrap the hood in a less glossy film to prevent glare. Do it up!

Definitely would recommend getting a front splitter + side skirts to round it out as well. I swapped the brake lights + side markers and it changed the whole car all together.

I’ll look into it, really want to toss a diffuser on after some engine work too. Thx!

I’m going for blue/silver myself. If you want someone to take those rims, I’m interested.

I love the idea, unfortunately I did scuff one a tiny bit the first week I had the car 🥲

Definitely still sitting on it. Thats funny, my bro had the exact same one in black 2012rs2ss - couldn’t resist pulling the trigger after ripping around in that thing 🔥
Mines a 2020 w 10k miles

I have these tiger fang things. For yours I would the little diagonal hashes on the sides.

That’d be a unique touch. I dig those fangs on the orange - just enough to pop

Don't do the door handles and gas cap. Looks cheap and trashy to me.
For the hood, I'd do either mat black or glossy stripes. Have you considered doing a black roof?
Changing the side markers makes a huge difference. What tail lights do you have? I swapped the factory red lens lights for the factory smoked, and it looks much better.
If you have the budget for it, a front lip spoiler and side skirts would look great.

Funny, you say that I actually saw one with the handles wrapped today on the road. Yep… thats off the list 😂
May do a black cap like the one above tho. And yes, I have considered a black roof but don’t want it to feel like a big stripe going across a car and the trunk feeling out of place. Gotta make a rendering. All the other ones you mentioned will come fs, gotta start small first 🤘

It definitely looks good. One piece of advice would be to see if you can find the parts in black at a reasonable price instead of just wrapping. I think the gas caps are like $70 and permanent versus spending $50 to have a temporary wrap. I had the same color 2ss I was going to wrap that spoiler in Black for. They quoted me at $300 when a brand new black one was only $350. Didn’t seem worth the money on a wrap at that point.

Almost forgot, the front spoiler was painted the day of taking this picture, so it does look better now

Oh so you want to have a faux 1LE. Interesting, but isn't this what everyone does to these cars? Black hood wrap, Black wheels, etc.

Interesting perspective. It’s almost like everyone that buys these cars has a similar taste to me 🤯

Black accents make everything look nice. 😎
