Guess we don't all agree on whether these are necessary, I don't mind the look and they do protect against rock chips. Even GM offers splash guards, in body color nonetheless, but that part is expensive, has as very narrow profile and installation (at least in the front) is practically final, it has to be riveted in place.

Roto-Fab is good and Cold Air Inductions good also. Roto-Fabs are open and seal with the underside of the hood and the Cold Air Inductions is enclosed. They are both priced about the same and you can order through Summit Racing and get better pricing. They are designed to run with the factory tune but the Chevy Performance made by Cold Air Inductions has a tune that the dealer puts in the ECM. I installed a Cold Air Inductions CAI on my 2016 SS and it ran fine. I haven’t put a CAI on my ZL1 yet because of the cost but I did put a high flow panel filter in it when I was up at Summit Racing back in September at a Camaro show/event. It is a Summit Racing part probably made by K&N as it looks the same but no logo.

Yes, you are right arpad_m about the GM Accessories rock guards but the ones that RPI Designs sells and ZL1 Add-Ons look better to me and are less expensive. I’m really thinking of getting some for my ZL1 when I order the jacking pads from ZL1 Add-Ons!

I saw those pics, I just wish I could see one from like far out haha. Those are close up pics. Also did you add their premium splash guards option down below ? or just standard ?

Ill definitely consider that once I move onto cold air intake. So far first on to-do list is tints and after that a blackout kit for my taillights and other lights around the car, just like arpad said! Also do you guys have any recommendation on front/rear dashcam and radar detector? I am also looking for those two and cant decide which ones are good ones haha

Also greg, I saw you suggested floor mats from GM. which ones did you get? And did you put them on top of existing ones? Because they already come with some no?

LT4Greg · 12-02-2019, 07:22 AM

I bought the ones that have Camaro on the front mats. They offer several different sets(front and rear) and I think they have some with Camaro SS too. Can’t remember though. My 2016 SS had the cheap looking black mats that came with the car so I ordered them from a parts guy I know that has been working at a GM dealership for years. The ZL1 had front floor mats too so I kept the ones from the 2016 when I traded it in. No the GM Accessories mats are thicker so they don’t do well over the cheap black mats. Check out the website GM Accessories.com for all they offer for the Camaro and other GM vehicles!

c4racer · 12-02-2019, 02:03 PM

c4racer · 12-02-2019, 02:04 PM

anyway - yes, all SS get brembo brakes, but the 4 piston not the 6 piston that come on the 1LE and ZL1 cars.
