Car looks good! How did you attach your SS emblem to the grille?

Thanks!

I modified the bracket from the stock grill and attached it with zip ties. If I had a pic of it I would post it for you, but i don't. I'll see if I can get one the next time I get under the car.

SinisterEcho · 10-25-2012, 12:11 PM

Well I have made some slight adjustments to the car. One being the front emblem broke... as in snapped in half while driving down the road. So I pulled that off, and I raised the car up a bit so i stop scraping the ground while driving around town...

Ill shot some pics of the new stance when I head out to lunch.

I can't believe I never posted in your build thread.

She will be back an running in no time.

*Mindz* · 11-21-2012, 10:57 AM

Sorry to see the pics man. I hope nothing on the frame was tweaked. You'll have the car running again soon! Keep your head up.

GREENSTEVE · 11-21-2012, 11:16 AM

Oh no

Moreno1 · 11-21-2012, 11:35 AM

Ouch! That hurts. Hopefully your ok. Looks like mostly cosmetic damage. Good time to do some upgrades. I see a ZL1 front end in your near future

Thanks everyone. Nobody was hurt to my knowledge.... As far as I am concerned, I am doing well enough considering everything that has been happining these past few weeks(moving to CO supposedly this Wed).

She (thankfully) didnt take the brunt of the damage like the other car did. Its bumper (not the cover) was ripped clean off the frame the rear knuckle where the LCA was attached was snapped in 2 and the subframe and unit body was smashed in.

Yes Nathan, I am already looking into that conversion.... however I am also intrested in Mindz fascia... but well see... I also need atleast one new wheel for sure. So I might try and come out of pocket for some TSW's... but we shall see. This thread isnt going anywhere so I will continue to update as i find out more information.
