How to know you are finished with Cosmetic upgrades - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Angrybird 12 · 11-05-2015, 05:56 PM

I was sitting looking at pictures of my car from when I bought it until this past January and noticed I had not done any cosmetic changes this year. I thought to myself why I had not done anything to it this year and realized that I was done. It looks just how I want and I have no desire to change anything.
I love the way it looks and from all the compliments I get on it when I am out driving it I guess many others like it too.
I know many on here would not do the things I have done and would probably change the wheels and other things but that just isn't me. It's a reflection of me and my personality and most of all when I look at it and drive it, it makes me smile.

So step back, look at your car and if it makes you smile and you cannot imagine it looking any better to you, then you are probably done.

Happy modding everyone!

Love that splitter. Nice looking ride!

I'm fairly certain I know where I want to stop before the car becomes overstated. The parts I want are small but for some reason, they're stupid expensive. It's real different for me, though. I've always focused on performance and left the aesthetics alone so, this time I actually have more money in aesthetics than go fast parts. Which admittedly makes me ashamed.

Just set your priorities and a goal then go for it.

Car looks great man!

I have a couple more exterior bits for me, then holding out for a couple years for headers when the warranty is about out.

I look back and smile though. My wheels are my favorite, and the tail!

I know exactly where I want to be when I'm done. I can very clearly picture it and it's fantastic.

That money though.

By the time it is actually done, with paint, I could have gotten cam and heads installed. Have to go about it strategically lol.
