GM Accessories Design Manager speaks about accessories for the Camaro! w/SNEAK PEEK!

You might say it's a personalization palace. Larry Sully, Global Accessories Design Manager, takes you on an exclusive tour of GM's Accessories Design Studio and even gives you a peek at the Chevy Camaro.
Check this out, it starts getting really good around the 1:40 mark

I know a lot of people have expressed concern for Camaro accessories, he pretty much says they are working on a TON of stuff.

Larger wheels...Ground effects, spoilers, grill
They are already working on things and are going to be ready when the car is released.

We're in good shape a year before launch

This was something I voice some thoughts on a long time ago.

The aftermarket and bolt on parts are what originally built up the Camaro and later boosted the Mustang sales in the 80's.

I had hoped GM would have things ready for this car but also have them ready at the start and not 1-2 years later.

I work in the aftermarket and we get people from day one calling for parts. The bigger lead time GM gives to the MFG. the better.

The Camaro has always been a canvas for budding car builders to creat their own cars with.

I never bought a vehicle and added accessories, so I was wondering how this would work. If I order my car and bought accessories, would the dealer install it or could I install it? And if I bought different wheels before I even took delivery, would I be credited for the original factory wheels?

Typically, you consider it just like any other aftermarket purchase, except you get it from the GM dealer or a GM accessory dealer. It is usually entirely separate from the vehicle purchase.

I have always said that the aftermarket will go crazy for the new Camaro, and I knew it would start with GM itself. I won't be surprised if dealers add them on and then charge a premium to the sticker as a "dealer add-on".

Sweet. That rr lower valance piece looks like it will be body color and go over the non-painted black plastic section. Its a good thing as I worry about those black plastics turning grey(i.e. 4thgen cowl) and what a hassle it would be to apply protectant on it, especially ALL those rectangles.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until I get home... stupid office firewall is not allowing it to install.
