I've blacked out my bowties, done the sport pedals, various interior and exterior emblems, etc ..Take it from these guys on here, it is super easy to do. You will save a ton of money doing the work yourself, and buying a lot of the parts on eBay and Amazon

OP to me the red seatbelts help to jazz up a blah interior. And I think as a first car the I4 is a great choice if I understand your post. And once you learn how to handle a fast car (the I4 is that!) you can easily make it as a fast or faster than a stock V6 or just enjoy the stock power. It is also fun to personalize your Camaro to make it yours.

I think the I4 Camaro is a better sports car choice than say a base Supra as the Camaro handles just as well and even the small back seat is an advantage for car usefulness. Looks are subjective, but the Toyota looks like ouch to me. Randy Pobst, a famous race driver, bought the I4 Camao as it is the best balanced and lightest Camaro. On a road race track big power is not your friend. I should know. Randy can just enjoy picking his lines, and exits without worrying about the brakes fading coming into a corner at 150 mph.

The I4 Camaro is a very fun car but learn to respect the power and all will be well.

Also note us older folks may not grasp the fun side of a turbo I4. We were raised on cars of a different era.

The options for the RS package is $1,950 you get HID headlights, clear lens led taillights, 20 inch run flats black bow ties and RS badging. Added options for my V6 where sunroof, 8 inch touchscreen and 9 speaker Bose system, sticker came to $32,400.

The pedal covers are a package with a part number that you can just as easily order online for typically less than half the price after the fact and install for free.

Also, there is no way a dealership tech will do a better job fitting pedal covers or emblems than you can, when you have an infinite amount of time and maximum care and concern for your vehicle.
ok I get it, look i rather have the dealer take care of the rear bowtie and the peddles will come from the factory(technically its not an LPO option) and I'm a little technically and mechanically inclined and I'm going to get a lot more accessories for the car and going to work on it

If you're concerned with the cost of gas, I think the slight MPG improvement of the turbo 4 is canceled out by the higher cost of premium gas. In fact, it's probably cheaper overall to run the V6 on regular.

Sorry but I think I need to say it...

Peddles is not the thing you press in a car to accelerate or brake.

Pedals is the thing you press in a car to accelerate or brake.

Well, if that's the case, then I need to say this:


PEDDLES is what a door-to-door salesman does with his wares.

PADDLES are what you use in a canoe.

PEDALS are for your feet whether they be in a car, on a bike, etc.
