Looking forward to seeing the most recent pics of your car bro! Especially after you get your new wheel/tire setup.

Thanks! Patience is a virtue which I must say I don't really have haha. Looks like I'll have to do other mods to keep me busy until then lol.

Update on my wheels...the place I ordered from doesn't have them in stock so I have to wait until TSW sends them but they only have 2 in stock so I have to wait like 3-4 weeks for TSW to get enough. In the mean time I am first on the waiting list for them and will get them as soon as they arrive along with my tires

Today I installed my IOM vinyl CAMARO windshield decal. I had a little trouble placing it because the soapy water I made up and sprayed would kind of evaporate kinda quick in todays heat. I think it looks straight lol. I wish I could get an overhead view of it and see for myself. One weird thing is I can totally see the letters when I am inside the car and it kinda makes me a little claustrophobic lol but I'll get use to it.

I've been thinking about this cosmetic mod for a long time lol but I finally managed to do it. I had a spare set of CAMARO fender letters and I painted them IOM and taped them onto the passenger dash since it is so big and plain. The hardest part was trying to make it look straight and I think I succeeded in doing that. You be the judge lol.

I like, thanks for the idea. I always wonder about the airbag deploying though. Would those letters just hit you in the face?

My brand new 4 20x10 Matte Gunmetal TSW Nurburgrings came in yesterday along with new 275/40-20 General G-max AS-03 tires. I wasted no time at all installing them. The install took me a little while because the only jack I had was the one that came with my spare tire kit. Best part of the install was it was relatively easy lol. The wheels did come with some chrome gorilla locks so luckily I now don't have to go out and buy some and I torqued them to 100ft/lbs each (based off what other people torqued their Nurburgrings using gorilla lugs) Now not only are the Nurburgrings stlyish they are lighter than the stock wheels. The stock wheels/tires weighed a total of 260.7lbs while the Nurburgrings and General tires weigh a total of 217.8lbs. So that is a loss of 42.9lbs of rotating mass. Al I need now are some drilled/slotted rotors and a brembo upgrade and everything will look reall good.


Now for some pics...

Nice wheels. It looks like you should get some lowering springs now so the wheels tuck in there nicely.
