Build List

Perhaps it would be best to start with a build list; A list of all the things that I want to get done to my Camaro. There is a website called www.PhastekPerformance.com which has a plethora of accessories and ad-dons designed specifically for the Chevrolet Camaro. Keep in mind that this is my build list, so many of the pictures are going to be of random colors and other accessories that will end up being Inferno Orange/Black So, here goes:

1. First I wanted to accent my black Camaro with Victory Red rally stripes, but then I thought that many of the people who own black Camaros do that, and I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon. Also, that synergy green bandwagon, didn't interest me in the least; so I started with what I thought would be the best choice: Inferno Orange. Imagine the color below, on Gloss Black.


2. I didn't dislike the stock rims that came on the Camaro, but I also didn't like them enough to keep them. So I scoured the internet and looked through a bunch of rims. I looked for weeks until I found the right size, and look I was going for. I ended up ordering a set of 4 Matte Black Drag rims. It wasn't until later that I decided to accent the wheel in inferno orange, and paint them a glossy black. http://www.dragwheels.com/home.asp

 3. Next, I wanted to install interior lighting in my Camaro, so I purchased a kit that include the dome light,  trunk light, and LED strips for the interior of my car. I made sure to get Orange/Amber lights to accent the rally stripe I now had. The picture below, shows the lighting in blue, but just imagine it Orange until I show the finished products.

4. After the interior lighting, I want to jazz up the look of the front of my car, by adding grille lighting. The picture below, is what I wanted my car to look like, in orange.Note the Halos around the lights? That's the next item on my build list!

5. So after those lights are installed, I plan on installing LED halo lights as well. Instead of the blue you see above though, it will look like this:

6. Since the Camaro I purchased didn't have fog lights, I decided that I wanted to add my own and the pictures below represent the type of fog lights I ordered, and how they look, compared to the stock fog lights. The fog lights represented on the left side of the Camaro, are what I plan to install.


7. If you haven't noticed yet, my build list is pretty big. I really want to make this Camaro my own, as I mentioned before; the next item, no one can really see unless they enter my car or look through the driver side window from a high rise. I decided to get Inferno Orange Covers for my Pedals, and I was sure they would look fantastic, especially with the interior lighting glimmering off of them.
8. If that wasn't enough interior lighting for you before, my next build item would certainly be enough, right? I decided that the door sills of my Camaro, were pretty boring. They were plain black and actually there was no real sill at all; so I decided to get a Custom Illuminated Orange and Black door sill. Instead of saying Supercharged though, mine will only have my name.

9. When I found out that the halo rings wouldn't look that great on the lights I already had, I decided that I would upgrade my lights before I put them on. I decided to go with Spyder Lights, http://www.spyderauto.com/home.php which are pretty awesome looking.
 10. I liked the look of those lights so much that I decided into looking at new tail lights, and that took my to my next build item. The lights were made by Spyder as well, and they are really unique looking. I have never seen them on the road yet, but that just makes my car more unique!
11. Leather Seating; The Camaro I bought did not have the option for Leather Seating, so I feel an upgrade of the interior would look really great to accent the cars looks. Of course, I'll go with the Orange/Black.

That's my build list for now; but if I find anything else I want, I'll update this list.
