Get'n Er' Dun ... Modification Update on my car

Finally, it seems like I'm catchin up to be called a "modded" camaro. I ended up purchasing that RKsport ca-100 body kit from my friend for 300 bucks, I just have to sand it and paint it and throw er on.

My CAI is supposed to be here by tommarow, and I chose instead of making my own to buy a full (from throttle body) cold air intake with a K&N filter from ebay ... One guy makes a pretty good looking kit. Same idea as the lingenfelter intake, but saving 150 bucks.

My TSP Rumbler is waiting for me at my other house and I will be there on Friday. I'll pick up the girlfriend, and go straight to midas to get it installed! Might just put slash tips on and wait for my Z to get SLP dual/duals.

Just about to make the custom ram-air underbody scoop as well. I have all the materials and the scoop blueprinted, I just have to cut a hole in the underbody and put it on. So excited ... (http://www.charm.net/~mchaney/ramair/ramair.htm)

I'm almost ready to go see how much the shop wants to fix my nose too: HERE IS WHAT WAS HIDDEN BY MY OLD BRA Finally showing you .. I was a little nervous to bear it all ...

I also found this car on ebay that I want to copy an idea off ... The WHITE chevy emblem on a white car ... looks sweet... so I will be doing this soon too:


So if all goes right this weekend, by next Monday I should have: Cold Air Intake installed, TSP rumbler installed, white chevy emblem, 35% window tint, Custom Ram-Air underbody scoop ... And MAYBE my body kit ready to paint.

I'm just getting pretty damn excited to finally be rollin with the past-time of modding the almighty camaro!


OH, here is how my painted calipers turned out too... Thought you guys should check it out


And Just cuz I'm on a roll ... Here is a new picture of my car

lookin good bro!! keep up the good work it looks nice can't wait to see pics afterwards. By the way what did you use to paint your calipers and did you take them off or what? I can't get mine to look halfway decent at all.

Thanks. To paint my calipers I just used a 17 dollar brake caliper paint kit from Shucks or Checkers. It took me like a half a day because I'm so meticulous, but I didn't even take my calipers off and they look great. I just cleaned them real good with the provided cleaner and then I painted them in thick even brush strokes and did like 3 coats. It took forever, but it looks pretty good and bright in my opinion.

nice job on the calipers, man.
I was thinking about doing something like that intake scoop to my car. I'll have to look into that.

get sound clips when you get your exhaust done

Oh yeah, hopefully I can get you guys pictures, sound clips, and maybe video by next week. It might be a little bit longer for me to get the body kit on though ... So don't hold your breath on that one.
