Hi Guys,

I recently picked up a black 2013 2SS/RSS 6 speed on December 17th or so. I've been reading as much as I can here, and of course planning what to do next

It came with 12k miles (apparently wasn't driven too much). One of the deal breakers for me, while looking, was a sunroof. I just didn't like the amount of headroom they take up. So I finally found this one without it, and with the HUD which I also wanted. It also has the NPP dual mode exhaust, which is pretty cool.

So far my impressions are great, there's nothing like hearing a driving a V8! I have a project car with my dad, but we haven't been working on it much at all these days (67 Chevelle). Before the Camaro I had a (from most recent to oldest) Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, S2000, G35 Coupe, and Evo IX MR. So as you can see I've been more of a sporty import fan (besides the Jeep lol) and I also have a 2005 GSXR-1000 I ride during summer.

The car came pretty much dead stock. So far this is what I've done (and most aren't reflected in these pictures).

*GM Strut tower brace
*Tinted windows to 25% (legal limit here in WA)
*Expel clear front bra
*Flat black tail light surrounds (I couldn't stand the chrome ones)
*Elite E2 Oil Catch Can
*SLP Skip Shift Eliminator (1-4, wtf?! So annoying)
*Vinyl blackouts for the gold parts of the Chevy logos
*ZL1 front rock guards (still need to install)
*CAI intake (still need to install)
*JDP Stage 1 Clutch Reservoir (still need to install)

Future upgrades include (in no particular order) Race Scoop+Washer relocate, SS clutch and brake lines, MGW Shifter, Vmax ported TB (wanted Bo White, but I see he's retiring), 3.91 gears, long tube headers, rear back up LED's, wheels (I'm not a huge fan of the stock SS rims) and of course I'm sure more things will come up, I have a lot to read up on in the suspension department.

Anyways, thanks for having me and for the wealth of knowledge here!

(I took the pictures off my FB so they may not be the best quality).

Oh yeah, and don't mind the Bill Pierre ford things. I took them off right away. They are a chevy/ford/mitsubishi dealership, and I guess they put whatever they had on hand.

Thanks! I actually edited my post to clarify that it came completely stock, the list of things are things I've done so far (already) haha.

I picked up a lightly used CAI, and I'm waiting for Apex to get washer bottles in so I can do that plus the race scoop

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Thanks Kayla! I've already purchased a few things from you guys. One thing I'm interested in soon is an MGW shifter, did I hear somewhere that you are a vendor for MGW now?
