Yeah. All lenses need clear tape, or laminate of some sort

Awesome video. We had a problem with under steer, the tires did that the whole time.

Crappy blurry pic of the SS hood and new grille. One day I will clean it up nice and use my girlfriends nice camera and do a photoshoot.

Looks good! I'd like to take on my brother in laws Camaro as a restoration project the clear coat is failing and needs repainted but I don't have the time to help fix it up for him plus it's his only car.

They were extremely dirty I agree, this picture was from the day before I did a restoration on them. They are cheap lights (but clean up quite nice) which I plan on getting rid of and getting a nice chrome projector eventually.

Camaro projector headlights always look like crap to me. I've seen builds on ls1tech with a retrofit, and they always just look goofy. But the hood does look bad ass man. What's next?

Cosmetically, probably nothing for a while I have gotten it almost where I want it, rear tint is turning purple and I need to have it re-done. Other than that my buddy is installing my longtubes in a few weeks and a tune will follow shortly after.

tipnitty · 09-30-2013, 12:00 PM

You are right where I'm at. I have am wanting to have the LT's put on soon along with the tune and having all that crap removed from underhood.

Let the rubber melting begin

But with these new gears it will already roast the tires through 50 mph

PFFFFT.

That's what the hand brake is for.

sleepyalero · 09-30-2013, 02:54 PM

Stock line + covrvette brakes = not a good situation.

TDavis · 09-30-2013, 03:52 PM

I can has your old center caps?

sleepyalero · 09-30-2013, 04:28 PM

Ill get a picture for you.

TDavis · 09-30-2013, 05:14 PM

I just wish I could get one damn G6 center cap so I could only see if it would fit on my aftermarket wheels, I still don't think it will seeing as the face of the G6's are 1/8" bigger.
