Owned the car for not even 3 days. Why not start a thread about the modifications that I do to it?

I can't leave well enough alone, I've got a few things ordered for the car already. My first modification finally came in the mail though. It's a front bowtie delete.

I personally think the front bowtie was too large and didn't go with the car. Since I am waiting to buy the Heritage Grille since my money is going to be elsewhere, I figured by just removing the front bowtie, I can change the look of the car a little bit.

However, GM put the bowtie INTO the grille. When you pull it off, there is an indentation of where the bowtie is supposed to be. Luckily a company makes a piece that fills that in for you, and isn't THAT noticeable.

Now I just need my Oil Catch Can, and my vinyl for the side "vents" to come into the mail

 

This isn't a Camaro forum, get off Looking good though

 

That's why it's in the off topic section

 

sharp car. The bowtie delete looks really good too.

 

Looks Great Mod `Mike
Are you going 2 get fog lights ? Or run air tube from that area in2 a fabricated CAI

Look'in 4ward to seeing/reading about all your Mod's..

How are you breaking it in ? When will you do your 1st oil change ?
*(My grandfather always changed oil on a new car after the first 500 miles) ? "He said it was to remove any machine debris from the internals" ? or maybe he just likes playing & work'in on his rides

* LOL `Keane, we are a Monte Carlo "Chevy" + Automotive forum.
We haven't removed your Horizen or put a bomb under `it

***Where has Mustang GT `Jerry been ?

Thanks `Mike, for posting/sharing 4-Sure ~> Look'in 4ward to seeing/reading more...EnJoy 4-Sure

 

Looking good! I'm the same way with the Cruze ever since I bought that car. I've got a few ideas for it already. Looking forward to seeing the heritage grille on the car. You have any idea if you're going to badge the heritage grille or not?

 

I will do fog lights and such later. It doesn't bother me TOO much right now. I'm just doing some cheap mods right now and 1 necessary (catch can).

The heritage grille actually has you BOLT on a holder for the bowtie, or leave it off. I will leave it off and you won't be able to tell

I will probably do my first oil change between 500 and 1000 miles, then go by the OLM.

I'm gonna get one of CAI's powder coated black CAIs for this car

 

Amazing how a little thing like that can change the whole front end. I like it!

 

Mike, like I mentioned before. The delete looks really good. If you don't know it's there, you'd never see it. You notice it, but you know it's there.

 

If you are within a foot from the grille, I think it is noticeable.

Any further than that though, it will look great! Just like the vinyl on the side vents that I am going to put on. From far away they will add such great depth to the car, get really close up and you will see the flatness of them.
