What did you do to your 6th Gen Camaro today?! - Page 324

Ryanbabz71 · 01-28-2018, 02:37 PM

Finished the ceramic coating process and Installed the rear rock guards

I think the rims are my favorite feature of this car

Looks very shiny! What product(s) did you use? Did you coat the wheels too?

It looks awesome 😎 the gap between the wheel and the fender looks quite high on the last pic or is it just a visual illusion.

Started out with the Adams clay mitt
Black fire polish
Car pro essence
Adams ceramic coating (prep, coat, ceramic boost)

Haven’t done the wheels yet. Not sure what I am going to do yet

Congrats! I guess you made up your mind. Summit White is the best white.

The gap is likely there because he had just jacked up the car. It takes a bit for it settle down.

Must be the camera angle or lighting. There is no wierd gap and I didnt jack the car up to install the rock guards.

I just installed a front facing camera to help me with parking and to keep from crushing the front of the car on curbs and parking stops.

The install wasn’t easy but the end results were worth it.

Thanks to 2SSRS@Gen5diy for the tip on how to route the wires from the interior to the engine bay. I kept racking my brain how I would get the wiring through the firewall and he gave me the tip that there are access points near the door hinges and that worked out perfect. Sledgehammer70 did a video on his dash cam install and showed where to tap into power which was also very helpful.

The front camera is actually just a back up camera and the display is a small LCD, both from Amazon. I have the display hinged and used 3m tape to stick it to the center of the dash above the instrument cluster. The camera is mounted to the front license plate bracket which i think you could make a bracket to go in the front grille if you don’t have a front license plate.

As I’m approaching a parking spot, I just flip the display up and watch what’s ahead to know when to stop. I had been backing into a lot of spots and using the backup camera as a reference or pull forward into a spot and put it into reverse for a second to see how well I was in the spot based on how it looked in the rear camera view.

The concept was pretty simple, the installation was moderately difficult but the end results are pretty awesome.

Here is a video showing how simple this is to use and you can see what I’m seeing on the screen as I park.

That's awesome! Flip it up and done...I gotta get this.

donaldp · 01-29-2018, 05:48 PM

Love where you put the display.

Replaced left/right front air deflectors. The previous owner evidently used the deflectors as curb feelers.

SDG23 · 01-29-2018, 08:45 PM

I took out the little piece of foam sitting inside the sound tube from the engine, haven't tried it out yet but I "hear" it makes a pretty noticeable difference.

I got to pick it up and drive it home for the first time!!!
