Be honest about what a Camaro parts catalogue actually looks like. The cheapest fitted item is a floor liner at around $109. After that the next real tier is throttle body spacers around $158, and then it jumps straight to fuel systems starting near $890 and air suspension past $1,300. There is no gentle middle. Budgeting for a Camaro means knowing which side of that gap you are shopping on.

The Gap in the Middle Is the Real Budget Story
Most accessory guides present a smooth ladder from cheap to expensive. The Camaro does not work that way, because the aftermarket for it is dominated by restoration and performance hardware rather than convenience items.
| Tier | What is in it | Rough spend |
|---|---|---|
| Protection | Floor liners, wiper blades | Around $109 and under |
| Light performance | Throttle body spacers | $158–$179 |
| — large gap — | ||
| Fuel system | Drop-in pumps, Stealth tanks, complete kits | $594–$1,687 |
| Suspension | Air suspension systems | $1,344–$1,385 |
That shape tells you something useful. If your budget is a few hundred dollars, spend it on protection and stop — there is nothing meaningful to buy between $200 and $590. If you are shopping the upper tier, you are no longer buying accessories, you are committing to a project, and it deserves planning rather than impulse.
Under $200: What Actually Is Cheap
-
SMARTLINER Floor Liners — 2016–2025 Camaro Coupe (No Convertible)
From $108.99. Moulded to the sixth-generation footwell rather than trimmed to fit. Read the exclusion in the title before ordering — more on that below. -
Camaro Windshield Wiper Blades
The genuinely cheap upgrade, and the one most owners defer until a bad storm makes the case for them. Blades harden and streak well before they look worn out.
That is close to the whole low-cost list for a Camaro. It is a short list because the car is small, driver-focused and has almost no cargo or utility surface to protect — the accessory categories that fill out a truck guide simply do not exist here.
The Convertible Trap
Worth catching before you order anything, because it cuts both ways.
Floor liners exclude convertibles. The sixth-generation liner set is titled Coupe (No Convertible Models). That is a real fitment condition, not boilerplate.
Air suspension explicitly includes them. The Air Lift kits for the fifth-generation car say incl. convertibles right in the listing.
So you cannot form a general rule about your convertible — you have to read each listing. The one habit that saves money is reading the title all the way to the closing parenthesis, because on Camaro parts that is exactly where the exclusions live.
Know Your Exact Years, Not Just Your Generation
Camaro parts are catalogued in unusually narrow windows, and the windows do not always line up with the generations you would expect.
Steering wheels are the clearest example. They are sold for 2010–2011, then 2013–2015, then 2016–2022 — three separate parts, and 2012 does not appear in any of them. If you own a 2012, do not assume the 2013–2015 wheel covers you; confirm before ordering rather than working from the generation.
The same discipline applies to throttle body spacers, where a 2016 V6 part and a 2010–2014 V8 part are entirely different items, and to fuel tanks, which split into six windows between 1967 and 1997.
Throttle Body Spacers: Split by Engine, Not Year Alone
-
Airaid PowerAid TB Spacer — 10–14 Camaro 6.2L V8 (250-634)
From $157.99. The cheapest genuine performance part in the Camaro catalogue. -
Airaid PowerAid TB Spacer — 2016 Camaro V6 3.6L (250-609)
From $178.99. Note the single model year in the title. Confirm yours matches exactly.
Set expectations sensibly: a throttle body spacer is a modest change, not a transformation. It is on this page because it is the only performance item that sits anywhere near the affordable tier.
Fuel Systems, and What 200 vs 340 Actually Means
This is where the Camaro catalogue really lives, and where the money goes. Aeromotive Stealth tanks are offered in two versions on almost every application, labelled 200 and 340.
Those numbers are the flow rating of the in-tank pump in litres per hour. The 340 flows more and therefore supports more power; the 200 is the lower-flow option at a lower price. On most applications the difference is roughly $127.
How to choose: size the pump to the power you are actually targeting, not the power you might one day want. Underspecifying starves the engine at the top end, which is dangerous on a boosted or high-compression build. Overspecifying costs money and can complicate return and regulator setup. If you have a builder or tuner, this is a question for them rather than for a blog — the correct answer depends on your fuel, your target output and your injector sizing.
Two things to plan for beyond the part cost. Dropping a tank is real labour, so factor installation. And a fuel system upgrade is rarely a standalone job — it usually accompanies a build rather than preceding it.
Fuel Tanks by Generation
The coverage here spans nearly the entire history of the car, which is unusual and genuinely useful if you own an early one.
| Application | 200 Stealth | 340 Stealth |
|---|---|---|
| 1967–68 Camaro | $890.40 | $1,017.60 |
| 1969 Camaro | $890.40 | $1,017.60 |
| 1970–73 Camaro / Firebird | $890.40 | $1,017.60 |
| 1974–77 Camaro / 74–78 Firebird | $890.40 | $1,017.60 |
| 1978–81 Camaro / 79–81 Firebird | $890.40 | $1,017.60 |
| 1982–92 Camaro | $890.40 | $946.80 (with filler neck) |
| 1993–97 Camaro (with filler) | $890.40 | $1,017.60 |
-
Aeromotive 200 Stealth Gen 2 Fuel Tank — 67–68 Camaro (18157)
From $890.40. Note 1967–68 and 1969 are separate listings despite being the same generation — the tank changed. -
Aeromotive 340 Stealth Gen 2 Fuel Tank — 93–97 Camaro with Filler (18472)
From $1,017.60. The higher-flow option for the fourth-generation car.
Modern Cars: Drop-In Pumps Rather Than Tanks
On later Camaros the approach changes — you keep the factory tank and change what is inside it, which is considerably less invasive.
-
Aeromotive Phantom Single 340lph Drop-In — 99–02 Camaro (19101)
From $594.00. The cheapest entry into the fuel system tier, and a direct drop-in. -
Aeromotive Phantom Dual 340lph Drop-In — 99–02 Camaro (19102)
From $834.00. Two pumps instead of one, for builds that need the extra flow. -
Aeromotive Dual 450 Series Stealth In-Tank — 16–20 Camaro (18075)
From $1,346.40. A triple-pump version (18076) is also offered at $1,663.20 for the highest-output builds.
Air Suspension
-
Air Lift Air Suspension — 10–15 Camaro (incl. convertibles)
From $1,344.00. Adjustable ride height rather than a fixed drop, which is the appeal on a car that has to clear driveways. -
Air Lift Air Suspension — 10–15 Camaro incl. convertibles and SS
From $1,384.80. The SS-inclusive listing. Two near-identical kits at a $41 difference — check which names your exact car rather than picking on price.
The Firebird Connection Is Worth Knowing
Several Camaro fuel tanks are catalogued jointly with the Pontiac Firebird — 1970–73 Camaro with Firebird, 1974–77 Camaro with 1974–78 Firebird, 1978–81 Camaro with 1979–81 Firebird.
That is the F-body platform showing through, and it is the same stock-hunting trick that works with Tahoe and Yukon: if the Camaro-labelled listing is out of stock, the Firebird equivalent may be the same part. Note the year ranges do not align perfectly between the two cars, so match the listing rather than assuming.
A Sensible Spending Order
- Protection first. Liners and wipers, roughly $109 and under. Cheap, and interior wear is far cheaper to prevent than to fix on a car people buy for condition.
- Then stop, unless you have a plan. There is nothing meaningful between about $200 and $590, so there is no natural next purchase.
- Fuel system when the build calls for it — not before. This is a supporting modification for a power target, not an upgrade in isolation.
- Suspension last, and only if adjustable height is what you actually want. It is refinement and stance, not protection or reliability.
Prices are starting prices at time of writing and vary by variant and availability. Confirm fitment against your exact model years and body style before ordering.
What Other Camaro Pages Get Wrong
Presenting a smooth budget ladder. There isn't one. The catalogue is protection at one end and four-figure build hardware at the other, with very little between. Pretending otherwise leads people to expect options that do not exist.
Ignoring the convertible question. Floor liners exclude convertibles; air suspension explicitly includes them. There is no general rule, so each listing has to be read.
Treating fuel system upgrades as a bolt-on. A tank or pump is sized to a power target and usually accompanies a wider build. Buying one because it appeared on an accessory list is spending four figures on a part that may not match your engine.
Quoting 200 and 340 as trim levels. They are pump flow ratings in litres per hour. The number should follow your power target, and that is a conversation for whoever is tuning the car.
Assuming generation equals fitment. Steering wheels split 2010–2011, 2013–2015 and 2016–2022, with 2012 absent from all three. Fuel tanks split 1967–68 from 1969 despite being the same generation. Match the years in the listing exactly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cheapest worthwhile Camaro accessory?
Wiper blades, then floor liners at around $109. Those are genuinely the low-cost tier, and after them the catalogue jumps considerably.
Will coupe floor liners fit my convertible?
No. The sixth-generation liner set is explicitly titled for the coupe with no convertible models. Air suspension kits for the fifth-generation car do include convertibles, so the answer varies by product — read each listing.
What does 200 or 340 mean on a Stealth fuel tank?
It is the in-tank pump's flow rating in litres per hour. Higher flow supports more power at a higher price, typically about $127 more. Choose based on your actual target output rather than on headroom you may never use.
I have a 2012 Camaro. Which steering wheel fits?
None of the three listed windows covers 2012 — they run 2010–2011, 2013–2015 and 2016–2022. Do not assume the adjacent range works. Confirm before ordering.
Do I need a new fuel tank or just a pump?
On earlier cars the Stealth tank replaces the whole tank. On 1999–2002 and 2016–2020 cars there are direct drop-in pumps that use the factory tank, which is a smaller job and a lower cost of entry.
Will Firebird parts fit my Camaro?
Several fuel tanks are catalogued for both, because they share the F-body platform. The year ranges differ slightly between the two cars, so match the listing rather than assuming your year transfers.
Is air suspension worth it on a Camaro?
It depends entirely on what you want. It gives adjustable ride height, which suits a lowered car that still has to clear real driveways. It does nothing for protection or reliability, which is why it belongs last in any budget-conscious order.
