))

mine was the same.. I had to drill 4 holes ( and 2 big ass ones where the back of my emblem was

)

haha I wasn't done drying.. I hadn't even turned the hose off yet!

i ended up taking the grille off an hour later and there was still water everywhere!.. it's hard to dry them billet grilles!

So true!!! It took me like 15 minutes to just get the grille completely dry haha

And yeah I'll try that. But I do have a sick idea in my head for if I took all of it off and filled in the holes!

I'll try to find a picture

posting pics of Revo's car does not get you out of posting proper pics of your latest mod...

My buddy.. He likes to keep me company while I polish, wax, and do any other scrupulous tasks involved with cleaning my baby

.. And before anyone gets at my throat for havin a dog in the car, he knows better than to lay a paw on the leather.. first time he even thought of it I caught him before he could climb up.. He never did again (and no I didn't beat him, just gave him a good ol' talkin to!)

If it was up to me, I wouldn't be :( However, when the opportunity to buy an SS came up, I had to take it.. I've only seen 2 other 4th gen SS's in person in my life.. (one of them is for sale.. 97 SS, Sebring Silver 40K miles A4, hardtop... very poorly optioned car but they want 12,000$$ for it!

buuut I digress.. I wish I had a 6 speed hurst equipped like yours zabo

Hey, it's even more fun when you LEARN stick on a Hurst LS1.

However, you put a stall in that A4 and you'll be hanging with any M6 at the track. More consistent launches and with some tweaking more consistent access to the powerband.

You also don't have to deal with skip-shift.

However.. when this happens..

Dynoing your Camaro/Firebird for the hell of it: 50 bucks
Deleting CAGS(Skip shift) to 200mph: 20 bucks
Finding out your stock LS1 only makes 303 RWHP with no adders, old oil, injector cleaner, and clogged cats: Priceless

Things get a bit better.

I'd take an SS or WS6, but knowing that my color was passed over my GM for WS6 treatment kinda makes me feel good. Not good enough for 'special option package' treatment, GM? Well so what.. still looks badass 11 years later.
