EXTERIOR PARTS


2016-2018 CHEVY CAMARO ZL1 STYLE FULL FRONT BUMPER REPLACEMENT

There are two types of ZL1 style bumpers common in the market currently. I opted for this style as the other option has front canards which look nice but can be a little too much if you are going for more of a factory look.


ECOTRIC BLACK ZL1 STYLE SIDE SKIRTS 2016-2022 CHEVY CAMARO

Side skirts are a must on a build like this. They improve aerodynamics, make the car look lower to the ground without actually lowering it and lastly improve the look of the car.


X AUTOHAUX BLACK SIDE VIEW MIRROR COVERS FOR CHEVY CAMARO 2016-2023

I've always liked the look of white cars with black accents. This is a great way to add black to the mirrors and improve the factory shape. For best application spread the plastic apart when installing on the vehicle to avoid unintentional sticking during the application process.


2016-2023 CHEVY CAMARO GLOSS BLACK DOOR HANDLE COVERS

These door handles installed easily and fit well. They have a gloss black finish that matched the mirror covers. They also have the cut out for the keyless entry so everything functions like factory.


MICROCK GAS TANK CAP FUEL FILLER DOOR COVER FOR CHEVY CAMARO 2016-2022

A great option to match the door handle covers and the mirror covers. There are higher quality fuel door options that look nice however I couldn't justify the large price tag for small differences between the two fuel door options.


DEWHEL FRONT TOW HOOK LICENSE PLATE MOUNT 2016-UP 6TH GEN CAMARO

I live in California where its required by law to have a front license plate. So when I found this mount which offsets my plate and eliminates the need to drill my brand new bumper I was thrilled. Install was pretty easy and I love the custom look.


SLANT SS GRILL SIDE FENDER TRUNK EMBLEM BADGE

To support my red, white and black theme with the exterior of the car these SS emblems fit the bill. They are great and have many color options. I remove the old emblems with a heat gun, fishing line, goo gone and rubbing compound.


YOAOO CAMARO EMBLEM 3D BADGE

When looking to replace my fender emblems the options were slim. This met my needs for red, white and black. Make sure to mark with masking tape and measure prior to sticking on the car and hoping for the best. Also make sure your surface is clean and using heat improves adhesion.




EXTERIOR LIGHTING


ACANII [HID/XENON TYPE] 2016-2022 CHEVY CAMARO SEQUENTIAL PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS

When looking for replacement headlights for Camaros with factory hids your options are pretty limited. These fit the bill and were a reasonable price. The turn signals are sequential, and the look was nice. Keep in mind you have to swap over some of your components from your hold headlights.


VLAND LED SEQUENTIAL SMOKED TAIL LIGHTS CAMARO 2016-2018

While my car already had these aftermarket lights installed when I got it I figured it was worth mentioning that I love the look of these lights and sequential function. It is also great that VLand is a large manufacture of automotive lights.


KOJEM LED DRL FOG LIGHTS 2016-2022 CHEVY CAMARO LT LS LT ZL1 CLEAR 2PK

When converting your SS bumper to a ZL1 style front bumper your old drl/fog lights are not going to work as they are mounted horizontally. You would need to purchase a set of lights for LT LS ZL1 or RS as they all are vertically mounted.


RUXIFEY SMOKED 2016-2021 CAMARO SIDE MARKER LED LIGHTS

These lights upgrade the look of the factory side marker lights with higher color accuracy and vibrance as well as a smoked out look. A nice low cost mod that improves the side look of the Camaro.




WHEELS & BRAKES


2 NEW OHTSU FP8000 245/40ZR20 TIRES

For the price its hard to beat these tires for the front of the Camaro. They have excellent traction and a great look. One of the drawbacks I noticed was some added road noise however I was replacing some bald tires.


2 NEW OHTSU FP8000 275/35ZR20 TIRES

For the price its hard to beat these tires for the rear of the Camaro. They have excellent traction and a great look. One of the drawbacks I noticed was some added road noise however I was replacing some bald tires.


G2 HIGH TEMPERATURE RED BRAKE CALIPER PAINT SYSTEM

In the past I have always sprayed my calipers with caliper spray paint. This system was a paint on brush method but what I loved most about this kit is the paint is a two part system which is going to improve resistance. I would suggest having extra brushes for the best application and finish.


R&G BREMBO HIGH TEMPERATURE BRAKE DECAL PACKAGE

Since my calipers are Brembo brand I wanted show it off. These decals add a nice touch to the calipers and look great. So far I havent had any issues with the decals either.

Cheap, easy & a big result - Win, Win, Win.




INTERIOR PARTS


JENEROUMAN, 6PC CARBON INTERIOR TRIM KIT FOR 2016-2023 CAMARO

Sure, true carbon is nice when you can afford it however the weight savings between real carbon and plastic isn't substantial. This is much easier than vinyl wrapping your interior parts. I personally would save my money for real carbon when strength and weight savings are a must.


SUUONEE CARBON STEERING WHEEL TRIM COVER FOR 2016-2019 CAMARO

It sucks that the kit listed above actually has this part in it however it doesn't have the cut out for the SS emblem on the steering wheel. So I had to pony up the extra purchase to ensure my steering wheel looked correct. This should only be required for SS and ZL1 Camaros.


HOOLCAR CARBON PASSENGER DASH TRIM COVER FOR 2016-2022 CAMARO

One of my favorite parts added to the interior of the camaro. It just made the car feel so much sporty and refined. Sure I know its just a plastic cover but once installed I felt it completely change the feel of the whole interior.


iJDMTOY GLOSS RED CARBON START/STOP BUTTON COVER FOR 2016-UP CAMARO

When building a car its the small details that add up to a big result. This button does just that. It makes your push to start button stand out and gives a nice pop to the dash. An added bonus this part is actually true carbon not that it makes much of a difference.


iJDMTOY RED ALUMINUM PADDLE SHIFTER EXTENSIONS FOR 2016-UP CAMARO

To support the red push to start button these pair nicely to break up the black and carbon theme of the interior. They also improve the reach of the stock shifters and help you see which is up shift and down shift at a glance.




TOOLS & SUPPLIES


FOXWELL NT604 ELITE CAR SCANNER

I had the hardest time clearing the srs and diagnostic codes from the Camaro, my normal scanner just wasnt cutting it so I decided to purchase a higher end scanner and I am so happy I did. This scanner is high end and has no problem with srs and also even finds issues that are present even though the check engine light isnt on. I must say this thing was worth every penny.


VViViD GLOSS BLACK VINYL WRAP

If you have watched my channel for a while you know I love to use vinyl to add a personal touch to all my cars. Its hard to beat the price vs reward and as a plus its always reversible. I opted for gloss black over satin/matte for longevity and ease of cleaning.


RED ORACAL 651 RED VINYL WRAP PINSTRIPING

Before I have cut strips to add a red pop to add contrast to my vehicles. This was so much easier as its already precut to different widths and more accurate than trying to hand cut thin vinyl strips. Make sure to apply to a clean surface and with heat for good adhesion.


RUST-OLEUM 352724 BLACK VINYL WRAP SPRAY

This was my first time using vinyl wrap spray over Plastidip for the wheels. I must say I was very happy with the results. The finish came out to a nice gloss black and smooth. If you didn't know they were wrap you would think I painted them.


RUST-OLEUM 363547 GLOSS CLEAR VINYL WRAP SPRAY

I did not want to risk my wheels looking cheap so I opted for a clear coat as well for a maximum gloss finish. Overall I think I used 3 cans of black and 1 can of clear. Obviously you can do more if you would like but 5 coats total (3 black, 2 clear) met my needs.


CUSTOM COAT 1K HIGH BUILD DIRECT TO METAL PRIMER

I love this primer. When painting over direct metal you need a special primer that will stick. This primer is DTM (direct to metal) and high build which is great for sanding smooth. It works great an eliminates the need for two different primers.


COOLBESTDA RUBBER KEY FOB COVER FOR CHEVY CAMARO

If your key looks like mine did when i got it then you know the Chevy keys wear out and look horrible after a while. This cover refreshes the look of the key as well as adding protection.


GORDITA ALL WEATHER CAR COVER UNIVERSAL FIT UP TO 193"

When I got the car, the windows were stuck down and I'm working outside. Rain was coming and I needed a solution. I got this car cover and it barely fit but it did the job kept the car dry and was a reasonable price.




AIRBAG COMPONENTS

CHEVROLET CAMARO AIRBAG MODULE RESET (CLEAR CRASH DATA)

After an accident your srs module is going to have crash data that cannot be deleted with a general scanner. So you have to pull the srs module and send it in to have the codes cleared. This company does it for a great price.


CHEVY CAMARO SEAT BELT REPAIR - UNLOCK AFTER ACCIDENT (SINGLE STAGE)

After an accident your seat belts lock up to prevent you from going anywhere. However when this happens they need to be rebuilt to be used again. This company is very affordable and gets the job done. This is for a single stage seat belt which I think was for the driver seat.


CHEVY CAMARO SEAT BELT REPAIR - UNLOCK AFTER ACCIDENT (DUAL STAGE)

After an accident your seat belts lock up to prevent you from going anywhere. However when this happens they need to be rebuilt to be used again. This company is very affordable and gets the job done. This is for a dual stage seat belt which I think was for the passenger seat.


2016-2021 CHEVY CAMARO STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG OEM

Probably the most common blown airbag in the car since someone is always in the driver seat. Thus they are not cheap but always required. I like the seller LKQ because they are a large company that doesn't play games or sell stolen items.


2016-2021 CHEVY CAMARO LH DRIVER KNEE AIRBAG OEM

I love to replace knee airbags because they are typically affordable and easy to install. Usually two nuts and one connector and your done. This is for the driver side.
