What will be the first mod you will make?
Hey guys, kinda bored at work as things are really slow today, so I thought I would attempt to stir up some conversation. Now that most of us have our license plates picked out, I was wondering...
What will be the first modification you will make to your 5th gen? For me this is a tough one, but I would have to say it will likely be swapping out the stock exhaust for a magnaflow cat-back x-pipe set-up. |

Window tint will be #1
Tuning the PCM comes to mind. Intake/exhaust are usually good ones to start with, it depends on what comes OEM. Then there are wheel options.

Actually, the first thing that I'm doing is tinting windows too. Then, I'm installing the real radio (JL amp, subs). I couldn't tell ya whats going to come after that. We'll have to see how the exhaust will sound and see what the aftermarket companies come up with. Aftermarket companies are going to go nuts w/ aftermarket parts. It's going to be a goldmine for them. Well, I'm just going to wait and see what they can do to get my business.

I was doing some research and calculations, and assuming the the cost of a 2002 SS Camaro (MSRP) is a good baseline, with a 3% inflation rate per year, the cost of a 2009 Camaro would be roughly $32,500.
Those of you with a 200X 4th gen, do you recall what you paid for yours or what the sticker was on it? $32,500 seems like it is kind of low, although if I can get an SS for under $33k I will be one happy camper! I mean the GTOs were around $33,000 for the 06 models, and we still have 2-3 years worth of inflation to deal with. |

Probably a new set of rear tires. I don't think the 1st will make it home

Getting rid of that butt ugly gold Bowtie!!! Billet or some other color complimenting the car will be replacing it! I'll have to see what's available beyond that.
As for MSRP mine stickered for over $32K with ~$2800 in SLP options. I paid about $31K out the door with GM supplier discount and about $500 from my trade in.

Stereo upgrade Possibly wheels That's it though. I'm not going to change much. Just enough to make it a little different. |
