2019 Camaro SS

[EZ SPEED]

I loved my 2016 Camaro SS but it got totalled.

So I bought a 2019 Camaro SS with the 2SS package. This one has everything that my 2016 had plus a few extras even though it was a 2SS package also. ( i have adrenaline red seat and door inserts, sunroof, and newer updated infotainment system that i didnt previosuly have)

2019 Camaro SS gets a cosmetic refresh and a 10-speed automatic for the SS.
cosmetically for 2019 they changed the hood, front bumper cover, headlights, rear bumper cover, and tailights.
added front collision avoidance and a review camera in addition to the backup camera

but the biggest change was throwing out the problematic 8 speed auto for the 10 speed auto !!!
this transmission is so much better. increase fuel mileage buy 3-4 MPG, quicker 0-60 by a tenth and 1/4 mile quicker by a tenth. Also get line lock and launch control.

24 hours into my ownership of this Camaro I had already completed these little projects:

Painted front flowtie satin black
Painted brake calipers red with a G2 paint kit
Installed white Camaro and Brembo decals onto the calipers
Carbon fiber wrap strip between taillights
Move SS emblem from rear bumper to between taillights
Installed smoked LED side marker lights
I tinted my side windows 20%
Painted muffler, exhaust tips and rear diffuser satin black
Made custom carbon fiber rear reflector covers with vinyl wrap


And the following weekend :

Strip and re-paint side rockers and front splitter from 2016
Install 3 piece rear diffuser from 2016
Install carbon hood and rear spoiler from 2016
Hardwire radar detector
I tinted the rear window 30%
Install LED trunk light
Install license plate and reverse LED bulbs
Install new Powerstop Z16 brake pads front and rear
Install BMR 1.0 inch lowering springs

Sounds like all the mods will be done in a month lol. I like how everyone is getting to the 10 speed transmissions

yep, its moving pretty quick. I wasnt able to get all my carbon fiber pieces out of the interior, but I got the big pieces (small pieces broke when trying to heat and remove them). so I re-ordered all the small carbon fiber stuff to replace what i had. most of it is coming from china so it will be a couple of weeks.

Still waiting on the replacement locking lug key ( the original key got lost in the wreck and transportaion process) hopefully it will be here soon so I can get my wheels off the 16. Once i have the wheels i need to order one replacement rear wheel, then I already have the paint to paint them all black... then install on the 19.

updated pics of the progress so far.

Thanks!!
Yeah i had to swap a while back when they started blocking photobucket here at work.

Oh, got my wheels off the 16 friday finally. One front tire had a gash in the sidewall i didnt notice. So ordered 2 front tires , they will be here today. Messaged my contact at MRR wheels and waiting to hear back from him about a replacement wheel. I have the other 3 wheels all dismounted to bare rims and got them all sanded down yesterday.

Big money...:jester:

Big money...:jester: nope, just big payments..LOL

Well i have had it a month now. LOL
I finally finished up tinting my windows and gave it a good washing this weekend.

Now just waiting for the powder coat guy to call me and tell me to bring him my wheels that i took off my 2016. Going to PC them in "Ink" Black which is a really glossy deep black.

Then the only thing left is to decide if Im going to wrap it the same color as my 2016 or wrap it in Satin Black.

Nice Ride! I like the hood.

That's because you're from the hood T-dizzle :metal:

Still waiting for the powder coat guy to finish up my wheels.

I also bought some full rocker panels from a 2019 ZL1 Camaro so no more stick on cheap looking side skirts (ZL1 side rockers have the side skirt built into the whole panel.)

But in the mean time I made my choice on the wrap color.
I'm going with Matte Magnectic Black. Its darker than the Satin Nero that I had on my 2016, but still has that pearl look on the body lines when the sun is on it.
I ordered the roll of wrap yesterday and have all the tools already.
I plan on starting to wrap it during the week of Thanksgiving since i'm off work all that week.

Cool thanks

Nearly finished wrapping my car this past week. I still have to finish the side mirrors, door handles, front spitter, and the front bumper cover. then reassemble everything. (Thats a extra piece of wrap on the hood in the 1st pic not air bubbles..lol)

Im slow, I have about 50 hours in just wrapping it so far. Im guessing it wil take me another 15-18 hours to finish it up then about a full day to reassemble the car. Still havent decided if im wrapping the roof or not.

Time consuming. How much do you have in it doing it yourself vs paying someone?

I spent $670 on wrap and about another $75 on wrap tools. So right at $750. I paid Atlanta Custom wraps $2500 to do my 2016 Camaro almost 3 years ago.

Thanks! hopefully I can find the time to finsh up the whole car this weekend.

Its finally finished. (well except for the roof, going to do it in gloss carbon fiber)

The first 3 pics were taken back to back, just changing the angle makes it look darker or lighter.

Looks good. You planning any performance mods?

Thanks! nope. no performance mods planned.
This is my daily driver (about 1600-1800 miles a month) so no performance mods till its out of warranty @ 100k miles.

Over the Christmas holidays I wrapped the roof in the same color as the rest of the car, changed out to a different style rear diffuser side pieces, and installed some Powerstop cross drilled and slotted rotors front and rear.

finally got a decent pic of the 2020 bumper insert on my 2019.
I like the front end "bowtie delete"
I will be so glad when all this rain stops around here so I can get really good pics.

This weekend I vinyl wrapped my inside door handles and shifter knob in Matte Magnetic Black to match the outside of my car and to go with the lighted door panel inserts I wrapped last weekend.
I think it turned out looking awesome. I really like how you can still see “Camaro” and the stripes ghosted in on the shifter knob.
And yes I know its not appealing to everyone how I went crazy with the carbon fiber stuff inside, but I love it.
