You are handcuffed having a 45th anniversary. You need to keep your mods reversible. This is a Camaro that will appreciate at a slow pace, it will do better if you keep it in the long run stock . Just like when I was 17 in 1980. It was cool to have your SS or Nova' s and Camaro's fairly stock. Yes now it is quick to move to the Restomod. The money is hard to get. They need to have the right recipe . Go for cosmetics . Just look at how many you see. Keep it tasteful.

You probably have to be more careful with cosmetics & aesthetics than suspensions and wheels/tires done up for performance reasons. As tastes in appearance change, what looks good to most people today may not age well.

here is an inexpensive mod you can do, just cosmetic and can easily be taken off. you can find them on ebay. I have ordered a set for the Camaro I just bought. also, some slotted and drilled rotors set off the car nicely. here are a couple pictures of my old crossfire, I put the slotted and drilled rotors and the caliper covers on it and got a lot of compliments on it.

took a best of class with ny camaro at a local car show last friday.not a huge show but there was a modded ZL-1 and an SS there.keeping it as clean and swirl-free as you can might pay off more than a bunch of money spent on lights and chrome.my car is completely stock,but well cared for.

1990 to present.have no idea how or why,maybe that extra layer of tire black i put on it deserves all the credit...beat out a couple of mustangs and a vette too.lets just say i take it with a grain of salt.i never even bother to open the hood.maybe they didnt know or care that it was a V6?

So what you are saying is that because I am polite, am good at writing and using proper english, I worked for my grandparents along with working at a grain elevator since I was 10 makes me sketchy? A 17 year old kid with a dream can't make it come true because he isn't considered a "true adult"?

he is probably skeptical because you are an outstanding young man.not many in your generation are motivated enough to make their dreams come to fruition.i wish you the best in whatever you choose to do.

He's obviously intimidated because he couldn't measure up to you when he was 17...
I for one think its awesome you worked towards the goal of a Camaro SS at 17. I was looking at used Hondas when I was 17 lol good job and keep it up! You'll run this bitch someday.
