Cleaned up the engine bay today. It was already pretty clean, but the underhood area was covered with dandelion seeds or something. Luckily they wiped right off with a damp cloth. Looks much better now.

Installed some black Trim Illusion door handle covers from American Muscle. I think they look pretty nice!

Those do look good! I wonder how they'd look on my Rapid Blue...

I need to wipe down my engine bay as well. I haven't touched it since getting it in Novemner.

Check them out on American Muscle. Lots of pics of them on Riverside Blue, I bet there are pics on Rapid Blue as well.

Started polishing the car today, to get ready for a ceramic coating when the weather warms up a bit. Looks like the previous owner didn't do a great job of removing the bugs off the front bumper, so there were a lot of bugs etched in to the clearcoat. Got most of it removed on the front end. Noticed plenty of stone chips, more than I was expecting. So I'll be ordering a Dr. ColorChip kit to fix those. Still plenty of work to do, to get it ready for a coating. It's a lot of work!

Also installed a set of blue Dewhel Lift Pads from Amazon. Pretty easy to install, and I put some threadlocker on them too.

Have you tried Spotify? I pretty much only listen to music on it. Can create playlists. Also plenty of podcasts available

Nice car!

Will those work on 2019+? The listing says 16-18...
Also, that car is screaming for some window tint to match all the black accents. Haha

Yes, they work on my 2020.

Also, I do plan on doing tint. I hadn't really considered it until some friends mentioned it recently, and I agree, you all are right, it needs it!

Word of advice on tint, I usually do limo tint (5 %) on all my cars, but on the Camaro you only need 15% because it's already a dark cave in there. For the windshield do at least 35%, it really helps against the sun's glare during sunrise and sunset.
Also, do you happen to have a picture of your amp wiring connections to the battery and ground?
I've seen a few different ones here on the forum and everybody does it differently.....

Cool, thanks for the tips on that. I don't know too much about tint, but picking up some tips here & there. I'm thinking I'll go with ceramic when I get it done.

Sorry, I don't. I was going to do it on Saturday, but I decided that nobody was probably interested anyway, so I put all the plastic push pins back in & put the plastic panel back in the trunk. Guess I should have done it! I honestly don't even remember exactly where I wired everything up.

I'm interested!
On another note, its funny to see your 2020 next to the Z28. It's amazing how futuristic and aerodynamic the 4th gen still looks after all these years, the 6th gen looks like a bloated pig in comparison.

I'll have to open it back up and take some pics. It's getting a bit warmer out, so it's not so hard to get out there & do it. I know I would have appreciated more pics of setups, when I was looking for information to do mine.

I would agree with that! The funny thing is, the 6th gen is actually smaller, measurement-wise - it fits better in my garage than my 4th gen did. The early 4th gens, the 6th gens, and the early 2nd gens are my favorite-looking Camaros.
