New 2017 2SS Owner From Ft Worth

Hi everyone. Life long car lover here. I have respect for all makes and I'm not brand loyal. However, I do prefer both GM and Ford over most other brands, is that even legal to like them both? I've owned a GTI, k-swapped civic, multiple trucks, and a 2013 Mustang GT 5.0 with very extensive bolt ons (Full exhaust, tune, full suspension done right, mgw short throw shifter, wrap, 20"s, etc). I'm now a proud owner of a 2017 Red Hot 2SS A8. The car has dual-mode exhaust, magnaride, navigation and remote start along with the other standard 2SS features. Given my vehicle ownership track record at nearly 27, I wont be quickly jumping into heavy mods until I can prove to myself that I will own the car longer than two years. Been there, done that, learned a lot and spent more money than I want to admit on vehicles. BTW, For anyone that believes a tune or full exhaust voids your warranty, don't believe all service managers out there. Ask me how I know.

I'm here to meet fellow car lovers and find out where GTG's and meets are in the DFW area. They don't have to be just for Camaros, GM's or domestics.

There are several things that I do want to do to the car in the short term and would like recommendations on brands and where to buy from:

-Gloss Black Vinyl Roof, wheels, spoiler, window tint (any good companies in DFW? Big Worm Graphics?)

-NPP Axle back (Need help on brands and group buys going on here; I guess the days of a $400-$500 axle back are over with NPP?)

Other than that, this car is plenty fast for me and was a bargain for what's included. We are living in the golden era of muscle cars.

I look forward to hearing from other members.

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. 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!!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new ride, Honk! If you have any questions when it comes time to do exhaust, let us know! We currently offer a few axlebacks which retain functionality of the NPP valve system.
