this is an opinion thread so here goes

mods for performance---nah, it's an rs

exterior- clay bar it and give it 2-3 coats of a good wax

I like the chrome wheels on silver

if you must have stripes, then a black hockey stick

First thing is a Borla Adjustable cat-back, since I assume it's some stock exhaust that sounds weak.

Next would be shocks -- stock shocks are the worst part of 4th Gens, so SLP Bilsteins all around. Next would be some used SS sway bars (32/19 mm).

Doing just those three things will make the car at least 3X more fun to drive!

+1 on that. I'm glad the previous owners kept my Camaro 99% stock... they look good the way the are.

However, putting on what other Camaros had stock, like anniversary rims (Chaotic94) and SS hood I think look classy. Just DON'T put on 'euro' tail lights, dear God don't do it.

could you come up with a rough estimate of how much all that would cost?

^ maybe $1250 -- you need to shop around for prices & discounts.

Thanks for all of the responses! I agree that black stripes would look good along with the black rims. Maybe these? Corvette Wheels Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

it's personal taste

on my white vehicle (I best not mention what it is on this forum) I like chrome

on the red 4th gen, I like black

on silver i think chrome looks best. It's all what you want

I like to dunk my McD burgers into a milk shake and you might think that's disgusting

I prefer black wheels with black tint when you have the light colored body and black stripes might not be too bad. I think with this the problem you might have is the price range in which you will need to figure out. You can go with cheap rims but why do that if your trying to make your car nice? I have noted that Liberty absolutely loves his Borla exhaust, I agree with the sentiment there but it is also one of the more pricey cat backs available. search various catback options and listen to camaro vids on youtube with your catback options installed. I wouldn't mess with the engine or anything as I dont think it is worth modding v6s but that is my personal taste and I'm sure some guys are gonna beat me up with their telekinetic powers for saying that lol.

As stated before, Super Clean. If shes running good keep her that way, With some bigger mods your reliblitiy starts going down (especially electrical ones, so ive learned the hard way). If you must id say easy things, New exhaust, k&N Intake, I got a geat deal on rims from OE wheels LLC. Dont go full race car, you never go full race car.
