New to me 2010 Camaro SS/RS

Dave1222 · 01-05-2014, 07:02 PM

Gents/Gals,

I recently picked up a 2010 Camaro SS (LS3) with ~5K miles. I absolutely love the car and am looking forward to learning from you all and meeting those of you in the DC metro area.

I dont know if this is the right place for this, but here are the mods that are on my radar:

Performance:

Cold Air Inductions intake with scoop
Exhaust with quad tips (I guess I will need a new rear diffuser, too)

Interior:

MYLink w/navigation and backup camera - from what I've seen, Ofer is close to having a plug and play version for the earlier Camaro's.
New floor mats, with a drivers-side billet aluminum insert (where your heel hits the floor mat)
Camaro SS vinyl logo on the upper right area on the inferno orange trim (maybe black?)
Speed Dawg GM license shift knob (with camaro in script/black with white stripes)

General cosmetic maintenance:

Leather cleaner/conditioner - just received some Lexol conditioner but am tempted to buy leatherique instead since it seems to be held in high regard.
Meguiars plastx to remove some small scratches on the existing radio.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Hey all - thanks for the warm welcome. The car is truly excellent! The fit and finish is incredibly good and the LS3 engine is perfect. I was surprised to get mid 20's on the highway with it...cant beat that considering the HP/weight of the vehicle!

One criticism that I knew before I bought it...i'm having a hard time figuring out where the front/back/sides of the car are when pulling into parking spaces. I'm hopeful that i'll master this after having it a bit longer.
