S. Macias' Midnight 2016 Camaro
I decided this morning to create a build thread of everything I've done to the ride in the last year. Thankfully I had plenty of photos to show the progress during that time.
The first two photos are the same day as I bought her. The third photos is after the front windows were tinted and the car washed.

The next thing I did was add a carbon fiber set. It looks better than it did with the cheap looking shiny grey plastic.
I added extended paddle shifters, changed the brake/gas pedal, got a striker cover and added a red push start.

Decided to customize the knee pads.
For the knee pads, I wrapped them in foam followed by black vinyl. Definitively a better feel while driving. I added a net and first aid kit to the trunk, and also added visor covers.

Next came the tail lights. I couldn't stand the red and knew I wanted an all black theme like my old Cobalt SS Supercharged (RIP). I purchased a set of gray tail lights and a black third brake light.
I smoked the side lights and the rear reflectors with about three coats of VHT. They still reflect but blend better with the body.

Added an SS spoiler and ZL1 side skirts.
Debadged the trunk.

Over time, the rear diffuser was fading to that ugly gray color. I decided it was time to paint it black to match the body. Overall, I'm happy with my $40 DIY results.
Last image is before and after.

Added a yellow tow hook to match the black and yellow CA legacy plates and a splitter.

Wanted to change the rims. Ended up buying a set of ZL1 replicas. Rim size was 20x9.5. Went with a 275/35R20 tire all around (I like to be able to rotate my tires). Was told I couldn't go larger on the front without spacers. Also got all-season tires since this is my daily driver. I had General on my Mercedes and for the price and performance it works for me.
Before and after further down. Got the black ColorLugs to match.

With the summer months ahead I wanted to get my windshield tinted. Was able to get exactly the length I wanted. If I had gone any further down it would definitely obstruct my view.

OP, I like all of your mods. Tastefully done without overkill. Good job.

Added a yellow pull handle to close the trunk. Simple, and it keeps me from touching the paint.
