    July 2010, my 05 Mustang engine seize up and i was told i was gna need a new engine or rebuild it. I was already in debt with charging a rebuild tranmission for the mustang, and 4 brand new tires. *How the hell do you get 2 flat tires at the same time!?!?* Well anyways enough of the mustang, i wanted a brand new car so i wont have to worry about auto repairs every month and just the feeling of a brand new car!

    So i traded my 05 mustang to the libertyville Chevy dealership for a new 2010 SIM camaro

    The 350z is my mom's car lol same color and only have like 10k miles for being a 07 model



    The camaro was my first manual car, took me about a week to figure it out and lots of embrassment stalling out on the road. First mod i did was added a SLP loudmonth II exhaust. The stock ones were so quiet i couldn't hear the engine! About a month later i sold it, sound wasn't my style and got a SLP loudmonth I.

    Soon winter hits and i didn't touch it till 2011 spring came around. Next thing was adding blackout truck area and orange hood spear stripes.







    Lot of people question me why i did orange hood spears. Well all the sim camaro i see has black stripes. And there were few i saw with orange. Like 2 i think. So just trying to be different i when with orange. Still like the black and silver theme with a hint of orange!

    After that i join the camaro5 forum and soon i found this c5g forum! and that's where i met Pete. Always wanted orange halos to match my stripes but didn't wanna installed it myself cause i can see myself ruining my headlights. Thanks to Pete for getting these in my car!

    Next were the wheels and tires. At first i didn't care mind the stock rims, kinda matches the paint of my car. But i was going for the black and silver theme so they needed to go. Got a use set of TSW strip wheels from camaro5 forum



    i was so excited i couldn't wait to put it on so i did it that night. It actually took a lot longer than i thought. These wheels were heavier than the stock ones




    when from 18 inch to 20 inch and liking it. i don't think i would go any futher than 20 inches. First thing i notice was that these wheels were making my mpg go down. i use to avg. like 25-27 mpg now with these wheels, its like 20-21. Guess you gotta pay to play right?

    Would love to do more to it but im saving for a house now. Of course leaving some extra money aside for later upgrades.
    some random pic i took awhile back



    kinda mess up this "camaro" sticker oh well fix it later
