A few days ago I traded in my 2011 Chevy Camaro LS (V6 MT) for a 2025 A-Spec Tech 6MT.
I was tired of looking at the thing after dumping a ton of money into it to get it up and running stemming from a blown head gasket.
I decided to lease for a variety of reasons, but I've never leased a car before so I'm hoping I can get some answers/advice.
I'm assuming that with a lease aftermarket mods are a no-go, but I'm also guessing that OEM parts installed by the dealer would be okay?
Things I'm curious about:
-Cargo Net
-Side/Rear diffusers
-Black Rear Badge
-Illuminated or Black Front Badge
-Logo Projector (idk about this one, could be kinda' meh)
-Shift Knob
Would I be an idiot for getting any of this stuff on a lease? Should I just keep it as is until my lease is up? Does anyone have any experience with these OEM parts/dealer install?
Also, in regards to the shift knob, I've seen some aftermarket stuff discussed here. Is installing a shift knob easily reversible? The stock one feels tiny to me after driving my Camaro for 13 years.
One final thing, does anyone have a hatch storage solution that doesn't require modification? I'm not keen on drilling holes myself for the OEM cargo net but I'd like to have something to keep things that I normally have in there from moving around, and that little pouch in the corner + the two compartments under the mat aren't really sufficient.
