Default Hello Ladies

Hi I'm new to the car girl stuff so I'm not sure what to say.....I'm 50+ and just bought me a 2002 Camaro 35th anniversary edition. Has some flaws (paint. and some small spots that need fixed) currently I'm in the process of replacing the wheel bearings and hubs.
Looking for cool and neat ideas to customize and personalize my new baby.

Welcome to the site!

Just an FYI though; the car pictured above is not a "35th Anniversary Edition" version, it's just a typical 2002 model (all 2002s had the 35th anniversary plaque on the dash, even V6 cars). The actual 35th Anniversary Edition (LE, or RPO "Z4C") was a specific cosmetic package only available on an SS and looked like this:



Additionally, the wheels on yours are actually from a 1993-'96 car, that design (typically called "salad shooter") was no longer used after 1996.

Welcome aboard.
Yes please start with better wheels. Then along with bigger better wheel / tire combo, make it more enjoyable to just drive. This is to make the car handle much better. We don't know if anything has been done to the car prior to you. But you will want a good suspension. So good struts up front, good shocks in back, subframe connectors and a strut tower brace. If you're not looking to race the car, those few mods will just make to car 100% more enjoyable to drive and will handle 100x better.
Then just make sure it's mechanically sound and enjoy.
You didn't say what you're goals are, but whatever it is, we can assist.
