Looks really good!!! Do you like the suspension changes? Once I did mine it was like night and day litterally.

Only did the front Pedders Z sway bar but yes it was a world of difference when I put it on the stiffest setting. I know I'll be switching the setting to softest in the front once I put in the rear but yes I loved it. How did it feel going from the pfadt bars to the new 1LE geometry on yours? I'll be converting to the FE4 suspension when I do the rear bar.

The PFADT set up on my old Camaro was really nice. Though the 1LE just seems more mature. The 1LE seems to handle even better. I am not sure how to put this, it really soaks up the corners. The transitions are better, that may be a power thing and not suspension thing.
Truefully I miss my old running mate, strange how we get attached to inanimate objects. Though I look forward every morning to driving my new car. Hell I watch the clock wanting to drive home in the new car. Aye when you remove the rear sway bar your going to laugh at how small it is. Believe me I did and so did the mechanic. Your new rear sway bar is going to be ALLOT Larger. Your set up will be like driving a new Car. I cant wait to see the rest of your build happen. |

Quick question, what do you think of painting my calipers the color of the pin striping. |

Hey, there he is!
Been awhile man. I actually think it's the tires that make the stock 18s look bad. I replaced the rears with some better tires and the tires look better so it makes the 18s look great in my opinion. But considering things are slowly getting crossed off the "to do" list, new wheels and tires are slowly approaching |

Those suspension mods sound awesome. What set of wheels are you going for? Staying with 18s or going 20s? Either way I bet they will look great! |

Right now my two wheel choices are LG ZL1 Replicas and Forgestar F14s. But if those new 20" Forgestar F14 Super Deep Concave fit on the Camaro, those will be my future wheel no doubt about it. But that's a long way from now |

Any of those wheels will definitely look awesome on your car (and mine ). I was leaning towards some FactoryReproductions Style 41 ZL1 replica wheels, but those LG ZL1 replica wheels looks better IMO. Now we need more money haha. |

The FR wheels are nice but I just can't get over the fact that they're just not that close to the real ones. The LG ones are a lot better. I especially love those forgestars though. But yes we need more money, desperately

I'm glad you said that, it makes me actually want to install the rear sway. |

Had to find something to do over winter break so I put the Camaro lettering on the trunk where I previously had nothing. Looks really good to me and in person. Might keep there long term.

Also was able to paint my previously polished elite engineering catch can. I know some like the polished look but it's not the theme I'm going with on this car so it got painted black. Looks really good and will be going on soon.
