Hey whats up Camaro owners. I just bought my 02 z28 last year.

It already had tinted windows and an aftermarket exhaust(not sure what kind it is). Its a very clean looking camaro and I plan on keeping it that way. It has the stock bodykit on it as well.

So far I've changed most interior and all exterior lights to xenon blue. I put an aluminum billet grill on the front, shaved the stock red pin stripes off the sides, changed the stock z28 badges to custom chrome metal z28 badges with "5.7 ls1" etched underneath Z-28. Clear corners, clear rear side panels. I also put chrome "camaro" headrest badges on the seats and chrome "camaro" inserts to fill in the rear indention. Also on the front where the camaro emblem usually is at the nose of the car, I replaced that with a custom metal z28 badge that I got from the same place I got my z28 badges on the sides and rear. On the interior I have 2 12" volfenhags with a pioneer head unit, xm radio, and an mp3 player with the fm transmitter.

My whole point of signing up for this site was to get some advice and input on some basic, but noticeable performance mods to my car. As you can tell pretty much the only thing done performance wise was an aftermarket exhaust which actually sounds really nice by the way hehe. Thanks everyone for reading this and hopefully I can get some feedback!

Welcome to the forums!!!

Awesome car, I actually have a question for you, do you have any pics of your interior? I'm looking to customize mine, actually thinking about a blue theme so it sounds like that is what you have...lmk

Hey whats up man, actually I don't have any interior pics right now. The blue theme on the inside is strictly the lights... daytime everything looks stock which is black. My glove compartment light, dome, map light, gauges, hvac(climate control) and door lights are all blue. Also I have a chrome gauge bezel that helps add to the look. Overall I'm going with the chrome accents and blue lighting, but still trying to keep it clean as possible. I'm tired of little rice burners around here rolling around lookin all tacky, its disgusting i tell you

Yea...I'm looking for a place to buy some pre colored panels...I don't want to pull a ricer spray paint look.

I'm planning on doing the same thing with LEDS...how was the install?

Pre colored panels are a good idea if you don't really want to take the time to paint them yourself. The ricer spray paint look 99% of the time comes from impatient ppl. I used to have a 95 v6 camaro before the Z I have now and I painted the interior myself. I did the door panels, the shifter panels, a/c vents, stuff like that. It actually looked really nice after I really took my time on it. I did 3 coats of paint with 2 clear coats on each panel.

The LEDS were fun to do and I was really impressed after the install. Well worth the money. I recommend definitely taking your time making sure you do it right so you don't have to keep coming back to fix them. It really changes the look of the car, especially with the more you change on the interior. When I open the door to my car now anywhere I'm at, I usually turn heads pretty quick.
