Got my car, now what?
I just bought my car today for 2,500
99 z28 with ls1 and 6 speed
I was wondering if anyone knows any good websites that sell products to fully customize my camaro?
Like for mustang they have americanmuscle.com
BTW, what are some things i should do to my car before i start moddifying it?

I personally wouldn't worry about modifications just yet. You need to get to know the car and you may find some things that need done to it. Just my opinion. I bought mine and thought hmmm...paint job and tires and good to go. What a joke on me!

Start by using the search function and looking around the site a little. Here's a good place to start.

Also ask yourself what you want out of the car. That would determine what you need to do before you start modding.

First thing I would do is a tune up. Spark plugs/wires, o2 sensors, air filter, oil change, and if you really want to, the coil packs.

I agree with the above, Unless the car has all its records your going to want to go over everything. Flush out the coolant system, Tuneup, Service the rear, Change the brake fluid, Inspect all the hoses and replace anything questionable.
This will give you a base line so you know what needs done when in the future. Things like coolant changes and brake fluid changes can be hurting your car right now if they are not kept up to date. Brake fluid draws in moisture that will rust your brake system from the inside out and with age coolant will break down and one of the results of the break down is a acid. These aluminum engines can not hold up to old antifreese like the old cast iron ones.
Congrat on your car, You got a heck of a deal. I am a little jealous.
