Default F-Body Must Do MOds...

Ive been banging away on this board for a while and have seen allot of really cool mods...

Some I liked others..not so much..Its a personal choice..it is after all YOUR car

But here's my personal must do list for when I get my next F-Body....(and I will be back in an F-body..)...

So in no specific order

Berger Mod - Ive yet to see a car that didn't look good with this done
Stainless "CAMARO" letters

Lowering - Ive yet to see a Camaro that looked good at its original height
Originally Posted by The next to mods are sort of supporting mods that should be don at the same time as lowering
Larger sway-bars
Better shocks
Set of wheels - DUH!
Stainless front grill With Bowtie or 69 "Z/28" emblem I love that look

White gauge face's with TA bezel
CAI - just makes sense
Better seats - The stockers suck I'm partial to Arziens or Corbeau
Better headers...And YES shorties apply here..Shorty haters need not reply
SS exhaust..just sounds sweet or if you spending bucks BASSANI TD system

Shock tower brace - Controversy as to whether they work or not..I just think they look good

Optional Mods..either you love'em or hate'em

Fuel Door Mod
Rear deck wing


This is what mine looked like all thrown together


What did I miss

Oops...goes without saying..that was the first mod done to the vette..

Funny thing...When I bought the vette from a guy way up north in Redcding CA, just before I drove off from the guys driveway...

I started to unscrew the stock antenna...he asks...."What ya doing"....I said my first mod.

He saw the antenna that I pulled out of my back pocket..and said..Hey is that one of thoes BitViper antenna's...I just smiled and put on my BitViper hat...and said..yep!

+1 for no wing, but other than that, it sounds like you've got a good list put together.

Wheels/tires, lowering springs, dark tint. Everything else is optional, but those are absolute necessity.

I agree with the list, except for the grille.

Yes! - Change the grille, but there are more options than just a billet grille that look good.

Both SLP and RK Sport offer great looking pieces that are rather popular.

Other than that, I feel you have it nailed.
