I need that front spoiler

[@tonyrandal1155]

Easy decision was color wise, black and for the rear spoiler I opted for aftermarket opted VR active wing, couldn't be more satisfied.

[@joetheunknown8413]

My first mods for my 2SS were Flowmaster X-Pipe and Exhaust, Oil Catch Can, Lowering Springs, 1LE Replica Wheels, Secondary Cat Deletes, Blacked out side reflectors, and Drilled Rotors. Now i'm working on more engine mods.

[@roadblock539]

did you have to get a tune since you deleted your secondary cats? and if so where did you get a tune?

[@keneofugotti4957]

I just bought a 2018 SS 1LE... Red with black rapped hood. LOVE the look already.. The only mods i plan on doing is custom painted red or carbon fiber fuel rail covers and maybe a 1LE decal well placed somewhere... Just not sure yet. Not doing any cold air intake as of now. I'm a believer in how well paper air filters keep dirt out of your engine. WIX 69699JH.... It's one of the best out there. These cars cost a crap ton of money. I know mine did... I absolutely LOVE it though. Would take it over a Mustang any day...

I have a '21 Lt1 I purchased in Jan of this year, and would love to add a front spoiler / side skirts / replace the rear deck spoiler. Unfortunately, the majority of things I find are for the SS; I'd very much appreciate being pointed in the direction of parts that would fit onto my Lt1.

[@PhastekPerformance]

Here are some links to some ideas that would fit: www.phastekperformance.com/2019-2021-Camaro-SS-Exterior-Front-Splitter-s/4699.htm www.phastekperformance.com/2019-2021-Camaro-SS-Exterior-Side-Rockers-s/4710.htm www.phastekperformance.com/2019-2021-Camaro-SS-Exterior-Rear-Spoilers-s/4708.htm

I would skip the springs, and go for the 1LE brakes instead.

My first mods were a pulley swap, new fuel injectors, flex fuel sensor, new headers and a tune.

Will that stop the fouling of the outside pipe of my quad tipped ss?

[@PhastekPerformance]

A catch can is up on our list as well! Great suggestion!

[@PhastekPerformance]

Unfortunately there is no way to keep the outer tips from collecting the soot from the exhaust. With the way the exhaust is designed its something that is a weekend chore to keep maintained.

[@josephsherlock7286]

Not unless it’s forced induction a catch can on a na car sounds kinda weird

[@kadian299]

Thanks, you’re 100% right about the weekly chore.

[@almoheissn]

At the end of this section, it is clear that the Camaro v4 has 9 or 10 inch wheels in the front. I do not know if this is possible and does not conflict with the suspension devices at the coils.

[@Villani_AV]

It's a camaro, it can def handle at least 9 inch wide wheels in the front, given the offset is right

[@andrewdolenga8715]

Are those factory GM lower grille inserts? If so, what color? They look awesome!

Yes! The color on this car is Silver. Here is a link for that product so you can see the other color options. www.phastekperformance.com/Chevrolet-Lower-Grille-With-Painted-Inserts-p/gm-v6lg19.htm

[@robertswick7654]

When you change your springs, what happens to your magnetic ride? Also when you change you air cleaner equipment and your exhaust does this kill your warranty?

[@PhastekPerformance]

The mag ride will not be effected too much with a spring change. It will still be operational and effective but there will not be as much travel with the shorter spring. Technically changing the intake and exhaust will not void the warranty unless those items caused the issue that pertain to the service visit. But we do suggest to check with your local servicing dealer to ensure what they think. Sometimes dealers can make the final call when it comes to warranty.
