I never thought I would see the day when I could say im upgrading from the a V6 to a V8...Well today (12/31/12) was day I went from being a V6 camaro owner to and V8 camaro owner. I originally went to the Chevy dealership with no intensions of buying anything. I took a walk around the dealership parking lot to see what they had in stock for camaros and such. All i saw were V6 2013 models and took a look at the new Blue Ray Metallic which was nice. As I walked down the next row I saw this Inferno Orange Metallic 2ss/rs that just calling my name. It was a used 2010 but the car was mint and it already had a Borla exhaust atak axle back system on it, so I just had to ask what they wanted for it. I decided its time to test drive this thing because I never got behind the wheel of the V8 so I really wanted to see/hear/feel the difference between the two. The dealer said let me go get the keys and temp plates so you can test drive it. Well he comes back and puts the temp plate on the back and what number is it? Thats right its number 28, my lucky number. I took it as a sign that maybe this was the right thing to do if the price was right. Well I took it out and noticed a huge difference in power and handling, when I got back I was sold on it. I told them to hold it for me Ill be back on monday and well now I own a beautiful fully loaded L99 IOM 2ss/rs. I was actually really upset and almost felt depressed after trading in my V6 camaro because of the memories that I had while owning it even though I had a V8 now. Its amazing how something like a car can truly make you feel on the inside, but I know ill have some great memories and times ahead of me while owning the V8 and looking forward to modding it. So without further or do, Id like to welcome to the Camaro5 community SSydney SSydney is a fully loaded 2010 IOM 2SS/RS L99 with IOM interior and gloss white rally stripes, I picked her up with 26k miles Current Look: Current Exterior Mods: +Matte Midnight Sand Metallic Wrap +GM ZL1 Grille +GM Splitter Painted Inferno Orange +GM Side Skirts Painted Inferno Orange +GM Rear Diffuser Painted Inferno Orange +GM ZL1 Front Fascia Painted Inferno Orange +APR Carbon Fiber Splitter w/Rods +ASC Composite TL1 ZL1 Ports Painted Inferno Orange +MPD1 Z-Force Hood Painted Inferno Orange +MPD1 Spoiler Painted Inferno Orange +Matte Black Vinyl Wrapped Roof +Matte Black SS Trunk Emblem +Matte Black Vinyl Hood Spears +Matte Black Vinyl Side Gills +Matte Black Trunk Lid Blackout +Matte Black Front Fascia Blackout +Carbon Fiber Rear Bowtie +Black Painted Tail Light Bezels +3D Carbon Fender Vents Painted Inferno Orange +Madico Charcool 20% Tints +CAMARO Fender Emblems Painted Black +20% Tint Side Markers +20% Tint Reverse Lights +20% Tint Tail Lights Current Interior Mods: +Fire Extinguisher w/bracket +Lloyd floor mats with “CAMARO SS” embroidered in IOM +Camaro SS emblem from stock grille below the shifter +Billet Shifter in Black w/Inferno Orange Camaro Lettering +Custom Interior Trim Piece Graphics +Custom Interior Door Panel Graphics Current Performance Mods: +NGK TR55 Spark Plugs +160* thermostat +KOOKS 1 7/8” Long Tube Headers w/Hi Flow Cats +Cold Air Inductions CAI Painted Black +Borla Atak Axle Back Exhaust +MBRP Square Exhaust Tips +VMAX CNC Spiral Ported Throttle Body +Tune by Rob Kats (RKTuning) Current Engine Bay Mods: +Custom Vinyl Designed Fuse Box Warp +Custom Vinyl Designed Engine Cover Wrap +Custom Vinyl Designed CAI Lid Wrap +Classic Industries Engine Trim Accents panels Painted Black +GM Strut Tower Brace Matte Black Vinyl +TPIS Strut Tower Brace Bracket Kit +Wire Harness Cover Painted Black Lighting: +LED RGB Grille Lighting +LED RGB Engine Bay Lighting +JDP RGB Colorshift Halo Kit +ORACLE LED Dome Light in Red +ORACLE LED Trunk Light in Red +LED RGB Footwell Lighting +LED RGB 3D Carbon Fender Vent Lighting Current Suspension: + Eibach 1” Pro Lowering Springs Wheels & Tires: +Forgestar F14s Custom color - Black Graphite w/ Carbon Fiber Center Caps +Gorilla Wheel Locks in Gloss Black +20×9 Fronts +20×10 Rears +Nitto Invo Tires 275/40/20 Fronts 295/35/20 Rears Future Mods: +Oracle Side Markers +Catch Can Painted IOM +Painted Break Drums Black +Painted Break Calipers IOM +R1 Concepts Rotors

Update:
So today i decided to create my own bumper plugs using the tops of those clips that hold down the black plastic piece when you open the trunk on either side. Applied some touch up painted doing several coats and then clearing them with a few coats. Held them together in some egg crate i had laying around. I couldnt take the plate anymore so it had to go, plus it was a free mod
