5 best exterior mods to make your camaro stand out

I'm going to do a video on the best exterior mods to separate your Camaro from the crowd. What are some mods you guys think would be the best ones to mention in the video? I think wheels is an obvious choice. I think carbon fiber should be on there such as the VIS Racing Terminator hood I have on my Camaro.

anything that's NOT popular. cause realistically all the popular cosmetics you'll think of, that majority will already have it, and you don't really stand out when you among the many with the same thing. you become the norm really.

if you've ever been to a car meet, car show where its the same car just in various colors, you'll know what I mean

Wheels. Big brake kits, not Brembo's. Hoods....not just yours but in general.
Various spoilers.
And of course full wraps.

Clearly I have a soft spot for white 1LE 6th gens but, I'd have to lean more towards accentuating what GM did from the factor, as opposed to doing something that looks clearly aftermarket.

Some side skirts are ok.
Some hoods are ok--I really don't care for any of the tall cowl or ram-air style hoods.
Wheel selection is probably your greatest variance.
Some spoilers are ok.

For me, quality always stands out when an onlooker is unsure if a car came stock looking like that or not. When they look at your car and it looks like a hodgepodge of random parts, I think it brings down the classiness of a vehicle.

Love that hood does it offer better airflow to the procharger filter ? Do you have hood pins or is this ok without ?

+1 to the +1. Whatever mods you do, it should flow with whatever style you have in mind for the car.
One thing I always dislike is a combination of cosmetic Duraflex and Carbon Fibre parts. If you're going to put CF on your car, then at least try to make all of your cosmetic add-ons CF as well.

A 6'6" basketball player in a Tu-Tu stands out. Doesn't mean it looks good. And this is the rub.

Personally I like seeing something aftermarket that looks like it could've been an obscure factory option/accessory. Of course; the more turbo upgrades, headers, bigger superchargers, better brakes, etc, the better.

Not a fan of browsing Instagram and seeing the #checkoutmysickbuild dude-bros and their fake ZL1s with Lambo doors without a single performance mod in sight

Do you. It's your car, who cares what anyone else thinks? I get tired of the people who hate on someone else's car. It's annoying. If you like it, than roll with it.

Sometimes the subtle mods make the biggest difference.
-Lowering the car a little
-Smoked or clear side markers.
-Wider wheels allowing for a flush fitment
-Tint
-SEMA Grill
-LED's
-Exhaust Tips

I am EXACTLY the same in this respect.
