The subtle wide-body of the Z28 gets me every time, appearance wise… I know the OEM parts are kinda hard to find, but I guess if you want to drive and enjoy the car to your heart’s content, then they still have some aftermarket replacement parts options out there.. The OEM 5th gen Camaro Z28 wheels and rear exhaust diffuser are so sought after, most people with the 14-15 SS 1LE (either 1SS or 2SS) love the rear bumper valence/trim and the quad exit exhaust. The vented hood on the 14-15 SS 1LE, as well as the front bumper splitter and rear trunk spoiler (with wicker bill), is what I’d love to eventually put together on my 2010 2SS (unless I manage to get ahold of a 2013 or 2014-15).

Nice Z and congrats. Good luck finding anything OEM on the Z. Somebody is hoarding them parts. Front splitter, carbon rotors, brake pads, whicker bill, rims, intake covers, list goes on and on. Enjoy the ride dude!
@isnowyazn9 ай бұрын
I haven’t looked it up, but isn’t there some way you can downgrade the pads and rotors on the stock Z28 brake calipers? I know the OEM brake parts are some super pricey 2-pc GM Performance rotors, and some kind of GM Performance or Brembo OEM pads; but there has to be some kind of alternative, I’m sure… You might not be able to get it back to 100% OEM shape for the specific stuff, like the wide-body or carbon fiber body parts; but the other non-discontinued parts usually have some form of replica aftermarket replacements.
