Upgrades All Over: Multi-Layered Mods for Your Camaro

“Camaro upgrade” means many things to many different people. If someone has already upgraded their Camaro’s engine, the term may apply to the next modification – perhaps a front splitter, rear spoiler or maybe a little bit of vanity with some new wholesale vinyl wraps . Conversely, if a Camaro fanatic has just put the finishing touches on their car’s exterior and they’re looking for a nice surge in horsepower, “Camaro upgrade” could mean a performance exhaust or engine tuner.

Of course, the novice Camaro tuner has plenty to work with – the exterior, under the hood, wheels, brakes and more. The near-endless variety of Camaro aftermarket parts available for mod enthusiasts is just one reason why the Camaro is such a popular car to modify; just when you think you’ve done everything possible to your car, a new product or do-it-yourself project pops up.

This blog will look at a handful of the most popular Camaro upgrades available. Because there are so many ways to focus on Camaro modifications, we’ll take different parts of the car – the front, rear, under the hood and even under the car – to highlight a few different ways you can enhance your Camaro. While it’s easy to focus on pure performance for your Camaro mods, we recommend taking a balanced approach with your Camaro upgrades. This way, you can always go back and fine-tune and tweak different modifications to create a car that’s right up your alley, in terms of performance and appearance. But remember…there’s no “wrong” way to upgrade your Camaro. Everyone has their own preferences – and each one provides a legitimate reason to try another Camaro upgrade!

Regardless of your skill level, these Camaro modifications are doable by just about anyone. No master mechanics or certified auto body technicians need apply; with some common-sense mechanical application and maybe a buddy to help, you’ll soon have your latest Camaro upgrade all finished – just in time to focus on the next modification!

Check out these five modifications for your Camaro. PFYC sells components for the 2017, 2016 and 2010-2015 Camaro. If you have an older Camaro and are still interested in mods and upgrades for classic models, give PFYC a call at 866-695-7392 – we’ll help you source & select the Chevy parts you need for a successful installation!

Front Splitter    

The front splitter is quite literally the beginning of your Camaro’s profile – and it’s also the first part of your car to offer wind resistance. The differences between a regular and performance front splitter are characterized by subtle yet distinct ways. From superior “downdraft” (which helps your Camaro with handling around curves), better aerodynamics and even reduced body weight (carbon fiber components are usually lighter than original factory components, a performance front splitter is a popular Camaro aftermarket accessory. Many Camaro mods start with a front splitter, and PFYC sells only premium aftermarket accessories for this type of Camaro upgrade.

One of our current favorites is the ACS T6 Splitter for the Gen 6 Camaro SS. With optional side winglets and an aggressive, low-profile design, the ACS T6 is one of the top-performing Camaro front splitters available anywhere. Street Scene is known for their stylish, retro-appeal splitters, and their 2016-17 Camaro SS model is no different. The Street Scene splitter offers easy installation and a professional, polished, pedal-to-the-metal appearance.

Performance Exhaust

This is where Camaro modifications get really fun; a Camaro aftermarket exhaust system offers the best of both worlds – actually, make that three worlds: raw power, deep sound and a super-stylish, ultra-aggressive look. Once you’ve heard a Flowmaster exhaust for the Camaro SS, it’s hard to imagine ever going back to factory components. Their American Thunder Axle Back exhaust is the perfect blend of efficient performance and full-bodied audio. Whatever type of exhaust you’re looking at for your next Camaro mods, PFYC has the exact system you need!

Spoiler

The back of the Camaro offers a chance to add sleek style, most notably in the form of a premium aftermarket spoiler. The spoiler has been a part of the Camaro legacy since the car’s inception, and the latest varieties bring a retro feel with advanced performance metrics – not to mention easy-to-install convenience. Check out our ACS Rear Deck Spoiler; with seamless bolt-on installation and a curved flank design, it’s the perfect fit for any 2016 Camaro SS. For a truly “complete” exterior overhaul, try a front splitter and rear spoiler combo upgrade. As you’ve already seen with front splitter Camaro mods, PFYC has the value, selection, and service required for a flawless do it yourself installation. And even if you’re not doing the work in your own garage, you can save tons of money on parts alone by purchasing your spoiler Camaro upgrade components at PFYC.

Grill

Let’s head back to the front of the Camaro for another popular upgrade & mod: the grill. Factory Camaros can sometimes leave you wanting more with the front end, but the Camaro Heritage Grill injects bold attitude, front and center for everyone to see. Designed for the 2010 – 2013 Camaro, this is one of our most exciting “early-late” model upgrades available on PFYC.

Underhood Performance

You didn’t think we were gonna forget the Camaro’s engine, did you? We saved the best for last, as PFYC offers Camaro owners a full selection of accessories and premium parts to increase power, decrease 0 to 60 times and enjoy the ride like never before. For a quick and effective boost in power, try a cold air intake system. The K&N Blackhawk Induction Air Intake, designed for the Gen 6 Camaro SS, adds noticeable power and torque, and is also known for minimal maintenance requirements.

For precise, pinpoint performance, nothing beats a Camaro engine tuner. And the Diablo Sport Trinity T-1000 has everything you need: gas tuning, analog control capability, an adjustable backlight and more.

Whether you’re looking to boost your Camaro’s speed or streamline the appearance, PFYC.com has every part for every upgrade. We’re a preferred provider of Camaro aftermarket parts for body shops, dealerships and individual Camaro owners.
