2011 Victory Red Camaro w/ White Rallys Cosmetic Mod Help

Hey guys, I own a victory red 2011 camaro. With white rally stripes. I
have been looking for cosmetic/visual modifications to put on my car but not
everything matches the white. Im looking for both exterior and interior mods.


What I have done so far...
RPI Designs painted bowties (white)
White "Gill" vynil inserts
Interior lighting system (footwells and cuphoulders)
Borla Exhaust System
Splash Guards (Victory Red)







Possible future mods...
Oracle Side Markers
1 inch lowering springs
ZL1 Rear Spoiler
Ground Effects
21 inch wheels from GM

So guys any help would be very greatly appreciated. Again im looking for mods
that change the look of the car. Also additional info about the mod(s) or
pictures would be great. Thanks everyone!!

Interior on mine I did footwell lighting, custom door panels, dyed the stitching in the steering wheel and shifter... there's lots of stuff to play with. Check out some of the other areas of the forum that discuss visual mods, and have fun!

I love my oracle sidemarkers. They really make a large visual impact on the look of the car. I would consider a hood and front grill as well.

Depending on how much you like your stripes, a taillight panel blackout or front headlight panel blackout is pretty stunning a well. The reason I comment about the stripes is that I don't think either would look good with white stripes. Black stripes would match though.

yaa i agree about the blackouts not going too great with the stripes and i would switch to black but i already have the white bowties and I'm on somewhat of a tight budget "for now"

i am considering though buying a new rear diffusor that has wide enough holes so i can cut the ends off the borlas I have on there and replace them with duals on each side.

And also i notice on your thread that you have a light strip going across the dash of the car and not just the doors. Where'd you get that from?

The same guy that makes the quad tip diffusors from a stock one. His name is Ofer and goes by 2SSRS on the forums.

Alright thanks I think I might buy the diffuser and tips from him. Do you know if they will fit on my borlas? And are they welded on?

Check out my garage. I have the VR with white rally stripes, didn't change my bowties yet. I have a blackout stripe on the rear and unpainted ground effects. There are varied opinions on the unpainted ground effects, but for me it works, because of the black in the grill, the tires, the interior.........I also have a Hurst shifter with the white shift knob, and a future mod will be black and white houndstooth interior, a la old school!

Hey so far you've done a good job with the car I like it. I'll definitely consider adding some black mods. I'm going to paint my engine cover. I'd do it tomorrow but i graduate from high school so I'm doing it monday. Its going to be red on the out side and white in the middle and have red stripes coming up from the bowtie in the center. I have a v6 as well. Ill post pictures when I'm done so you can see if you consider doing it. By the way I've noticed that we seem to be a minority. Red and white doesn't seem to be too comon.
