Default Finally an upgrade!
I just got my camaro about 2 months ago from someone in a trade for my vette. 383 stroker ss spoiler zr1 rims.. etc etc.

well after getting it home i have been finding nothing but bad and disappointing things. loose bolts, burned wires/hoses off the headers, 3 rims that match and the 4th one has a different offset, radio wires were all hooked wrong driver door didnt work passenger side was hooked as left, changed that all at the back of the stereo etc.. the list goes on with minor things everywhere. anyway i finally found a positive in the stereo department!!! aftermarket speakers!!!!! check it out!!



sorry i couldnt help myself. as you can see its not positive and my list continues!

wanted back in a 4th gen. had one before the vette and just liked my space better. when and if i get another c4 itll be a zr1. when i trade the car had no exhaust on it yet. loud.. made it hard to determine the main stuff i was listening for and i kinda shut my mind out of looking at all the little things
