Project Budget 10 Second Camaro Thread
The grill swap was really simple. Took a whole 10 minutes. Just pulled off the stock grill and intalled the black billit grill with 4 screws. I had my doubts as to how the grill would line up, but it must not have been some Ebay special one because it fit perfectly. Couldnt be happier.

Some pictures...I need to wash the Camaro when the roads dry up. I dont want to drive the car to the car wash with salt covered roads.


I dont know if I want to run the bowtie or not, looks pretty good as is. Although Im trying to decide what to do about the turn signals...stock, clear, or blacked out. Stock is well...stock, clear would give it a nice clean appearance, and the blacked out would pretty much make the light "disappear" but I dont want to black out any other lights to match so I may just run clear...Just thinking outloud...Any thoughts?

Picked up a set of UMI tubular LCAs from am_muscl (Jason) on here today. These looks like they have NO miles on them. Great shape! Thanks again bro!
Cant wait to get these on!
Front I would like to get the front splitter from 6LE pictured below...
Also would like clear corners, the blue grill bowtie pictured above and Halo headlights. Think that should clean up and make the front end look nice. I would like to get the SS scoop decal also as shown in the Camaro below...

Side/Wheels Although I havent seen this completed on a Camaro, I saw one guy (glocklimited9) modify a set of Trans Am ground effects to fit a Camaro. I would like to try this if I come across a set cheap. Here is the ground effects on his Camaro...

For the wheels I would either like to polish my SS 10 spokes and paint them to match the 35 Anniversary wheels or get chrome 17 inch zo6 rims.
Rear End wise here is a pic with what I want mine to look like (obviously black though)

I want the rear valance and Corsa clone tips from 6LE along with the "CAMARO" stainless inserts (forget who makes the inserts off the top of my head) Also noticed the rear taillights are all red instead of the white backup light. Not sure how this was done, but note to self...research this...
Just the idea I have in my mind right now, Im sure it will change slighly but this is the direction I plan on going. I plan to attend alot of cruise nights/car shows this summer and with the new paint job and LS1 swapped interior, I think my Camaro should do pretty well in the shows.

Some other purchases I made this week include front splitter from 6LE, clear front corners from ebay, and "CAMARO" rear fill ins from Emblempros.
I dont think Im going to follow through with the halo headlights and side ground effects. Im still deciding on the rear valance panel from 6LE.
Pics to come as parts arrive!!!
Ive been meaning to update my total costs for the car so far. Its actually ALOT cheaper than people think. Ive gone on "shopping spree's" here and there but for the most part, alot of my parts are used that Ive traded for or gotten really good deals on.
They look like they are only partly whistlered but the groved part is black too. They are real good quality too
Pretty thick pieces and not the flimsy stickers I purchased when I first bought my Camaro that I ended up destroying trying to install. Here is a picture of the emblems after opening the package...They are actually like a mirror finish and not black like they look in the pic below. Really cool IMO...

Supposed to be warmer weather tomorrow. Plan on digging my Camaro out of the snow and installing the emblems along with giving her a bath. Ill post installed pics soon...
