I just wanted to pass on some of my thoughts since I had a 2016 Camaro SS for 3 years and decided to get a new 2019 at a great end of year sale price.

I bought my car in November and it only has 300 miles on it to date. I am not totally sure what route I am going to go in regards to mods. I have decided so far to do mostly cosmetic mods and only recently decided to change the exhaust system.

I painted my intake manifold cover with GM colour coded paint and added a strut tower brace. Picked up some GM splash guards which I highly recommend because of there quality. I previously had ZL1 Addons on my 2016 and the GM splash guards are so superior to theirs. Picked up the GM black gas lid which was not cheap and didn’t want to go the aftermarket route on that piece. I had a custom fuse lid name plate made with build info on it. I did a blackout kit on parking lights and rear brake light, added a Wicker Bill blade spoiler add on. I was not very impressed with GMs paint on the 2016 Camaro and it did not fair very well, so I got the front clear bra and did the side rockers, plus in front on the rear quarter panels. Did a paint protection on the whole car. I added AFR gauge for future tune and to monitor AFR because I am thinking of going catless with headers like my 2016. Almost forgot I painted the black pod for gauge Shock colour. I used special plastic bonding primer for both the gauge and intake manifold.

In regards to the exhaust system I decided to go with replacing the secondary cats with resonators, deleted the suitcase stock muffler system , replaced with 3 inch stainless from the crushed pipes to tips. Going to try some flowmasters super 10’s with super four inch black tips. Car goes in Monday to get the exhaust hooked up, already deleted the suitcase.

As of now no plans or direction to immediately decide with direction to go. I am on the fence to leave the engine alone or go the cam route. My 2016 to me sounded so nice with a cam.

Sorry about sideway pics I can’t seem to fix them.

I did two coats of primer, 5 medium coats of paint, and 3 coats of clear.

Nice 1LE! I almost didn't notice the rock guards until I saw the close up pics. Last I checked with GM they don't have the rock guards in SHOCk...yet

Your right no Shock colour in splash guards but I actually like the contrast with a some more black. The Shock colour can be over powering so a bit of black works IMO.

I am thinking of spraying the calipers Shock. They did that to the Sema car last year because same as the splash guards no Shock colour for calipers. The red calipers really don’t match with this colour, I would have preferred black.

Agree, I've been running around about 8 months now with no plate or registration sticker on the window and haven't had any problems.. but it's also an easy reason to get pulled over in Tx. Not displaying a registration sticker alone I think is like a $186 ticket

Blackbeast, love what you did to your 1LE. If your ever heading to the south Okanagan give me a shout.

Love the color combo/contrast sir. Gorgeous. My SS is going to have to undergo a black accent pckg of some type and I agree with you that the black splash guards work better to accent the car. Have you considered the black rocker panels? What are your thoughts on that?

Thanks for the comments everyone. BTW GMCVT Amen to 14:6

Yes I have thought about something for the side. I am going to pick up a pair of ZL1 Style Side Skirt Rocker Panel Extension in flat black. First I want to see what it looks like with those on. I am thinking of a COPO style black decal for rear quarters but this depends on what the side rocker skirt looks like first.

Which resonators would you use to replace your stock secondaries?
