Discussion Starter · Jun 28, 2016

Hello y'all from North Texas! I picked up my 2016 Rebel three months ago, loaded with every option available except towing mirrors and the engine block heater. Traded a Camaro SS for it, I needed something a little more practical, as I realized we have three teenagers, and one day they will be learning how to drive.

Been busy since picking up the Rebel, so far I have done the following:
Got rid of the antenna, in favor of 13" AntennaX
Added Bedrug bed rug, tailgate mat, and tailgate seal
Added DeeZee tailgate assist
Added EGR smoked window deflectors
Added EGR matte black hood deflector
Installed S&B cold air intake
Installed Corsa Performance sport exhaust
Tinted windows, including sunroof and windshield brow
Enabled daytime running lights
Installed Enlight HID headlights
Added matte black hood spears
Debadged doors, replaced with tailgate style "Rebel" and "4X4"
Mounted & hard-wired radar detector
Weathertech floor mats

I think that's about it, but no doubt there is more to come! I've added a few pics below (I think!), one recent, one when I picked it up, and one of my Camaro the day before trading her in...

Welcome to the club!
Nice choice of toys although I'm sure you'll miss that camaro to some extent! How far did you get with your Camaro in doing modifications to it?

All I really did on the Camaro was change the cold air intake, tint the windows, tint all lights, change interior lights to LED, bypassed the dual-mode exhaust so it was always open, changed to a heritage grille, and debadged. I bought it with the 1LE high performance package, so all the performance needed was already there, even had a 6-speed manual transmission!

wow for a new owner, you sure have cracked some serious mods already. Looks great man. I traded my Durango in last week, I miss my Corsa already. Need to make that one of my first major mods. Great job man.

Thanks, I don't like to sit with a stock vehicle for long! Oh, I also red plasti-dipped my RAM letters on the grille. I want to go matte black on the skid plate soon, but I'm not sure how I want to do it - paint, plasti-dip, or wrap. I also ordered a 22" LED light bar that I will be putting behind the lower grille honeycomb when I get some free time.

And if you do the Corsa on this, you will find it pretty quick and painless, took me maybe two beers (as a unit of measuring time). I really love that if you want to work underneath, you just go off-road mode, and if you want to work in the engine bay you can go entry/exit. Very convenient feature for doing your mods!
