The Car: Non-Original, Factory options

Camaro as purchased in front of my home.

Non-Original, additional Factory Options (additions by me)

NOTE: To the Camaro 'purists'... I am adding options for my own enjoyment. It is my car - so don't waste time sending negative e-mail on this subject. It is not to deceive anyone at resale or add 'false value' to my car (if so, this page would be a waste of time!). Please note, where ever I have deviated from non-original or non-stock items, I am taking great care to ensure the car can be brought back to 100% original with relative ease. All parts are saved and nothing on this virgin body is being cut, hacked, or damaged....otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep!!
