Sorry

I didn't mean to stir up such emotions. I was saying it was a possibility. When I saw the 'Stang that Itialian desing house Guardo did it got me thinking. The kit that I have is built by LSD and it works very well on my XLR-V. There was nothing to do except unbolt the factory hinges, install the LSD kit realign the door and tighten everything down, The hardest part was extending the wiring harness. It only took about 3-4 hours with some help. ANYWAY....I said it was a possibilty, I'm building horsepower first!

Even if you didn't build up the Horsepower, and just put on Lambo-type doors...that would get the most attention at any autoshow, I'd wager...

I propose a name change...we call the pseudo-lambo doors: Bumblebee doors...

I'd second that.... apologies for my ranting.... just a huge Lamborghini fan and i have been for as long as i can remember (plus a biit of a perfectionist to be fair)... and i hate the name being used for things i consider not to be the best representation of the brand!!

Oh, that doesn't bother me too much: probably because I don't follow the Lambo too much, I just thought that they look like the "wings" on Bumblebee from the movie

Flow Masters is a must, I don't typically like any factory exhaust apart from Ferrari and Lamborghini.

On that note, I don't mind stock exausts, typically - and supposedly (or rather, hopefully) GM's tuning this cars exaust like they did for the concept(Lutz did say the prototype sounded great).

but I digress, one of the first mods on mine (after warranty)...and only done to suppliment a future blower - would be headers.

My first modification will be a baby seat... My wife and I found out about two months ago that we are going to be blessed with our first baby! We are very excited, but that means that I have to convince my wife that the Camaro is capable of being a "family" car (can fit her and the baby in it with relative ease).

This leads to my next question, who here has used a Camaro as a 2nd car for the family?

Congratulations!!!

I use the 4th Gen as a second car and it isn't fun w/ the kids. I have to put my seat forward so the childseat won't hit mine. Now, when the 5th Gen comes out, it looks like is just might be a little more roomier inside.

Whatever it takes to set it off from all the other ones running around. I hate seeing another car that looks exactly like the one I have.

FIRST MOD????

Okay, of those people who are deffinately going to purchase a new Camaro.

What, if any, will be your first MOD. It can be anything...Drop suspension, Rims, Body Kit, Paint...

My first project will be an Intake swapout adding an NOS kit and ASAP a total exhaust swap to add in the old fashion style Headers and Glasspacks.

I want that Bitch to shake fillings lose when I drive by.

Then in a year or 2 custom paint job...I have a total graphics package that I am working on... GM used a Bumble Bee (X-Formers) thing...I am going to use some type of imagery from Kids Next Door (KND) with some modifications to upscale and "ADULT" it more. I really dig Numbuh 4.

If this has already been a topic...then just add my stuff to that list.

Glass packs, sweet. ^ and yes, glass packs have a resonance set up to amplify certain sound from the engine... they sound so much better than the 4 inch wide import mufflers...

First is likely to be an aftermarket shifter as close as possible to the concept's (yeah, I'm obsessed with it).

The most important will be an exhaust upgrade, likely to a complete SLP system.

Eventually I'll do some two-tone seats if those aren't stock, maybe some mood lights on the interior, possibly ground FX (although unlikely...too ricey), maybe a billet grille, and probably a CAI.
