Top 5 mod list?

vexss2010 · 02-14-2017, 02:33 PM

Just got my BRAND NEW 16 summit white 2ss Camaro a couple weeks ago and trying to figure out what to do with it...I just got 20% tint all around and now trying to create a list of what to do next...I usually have "mod" fever and want to buy everything at once..BUT do not want to make this mistake like i did with my previous 8 cars that I have owned for only a yr or 2 before getting rid of it, due to being bored...

So what's your top 5 list usually when you first purchase your car? I am thinking coil overs,wheels, and tinting my tail lights for 1st year..And next yr worry about a new splitter,rockers, diffuser and exhaust...Thoughts?

For me:
1. window tint. Always first thing.
2. suspension
3. wheels/tires
4. exhaust
5. intake

I may be biased, but I usually start with lighting upgrades since they are easy to install. Then window tint.

Then I'd go with an SCT tuner, exhaust, wheels, coilovers, power adders (ProCharger) etc etc

Ive already started and have a few things...here's my top 5 as of now...
1. EFI Tuning ported TB/intake kit
2. BMR trailing arms
3. BMR front cradle brace
4. Street scene body kit
5. ACS rear deck lid spoiler and ZL1 wicker

There was a huge thread on Camaro5 not too long ago about a guy who was denied warranty on a failed oil pump due to having a catch can.
