It ended up being a coin left in the middle console. DOH!
I'm really looking forward to it as well! I just had a long discussion with them, and there are some adjustments being done. Will have some updates soon... |

My custom illuminating door sills (Orange Lighting) arrived today from Emblempros (thanks Roger!) Looks good, can't wait to see them installed and lit up. Should be good.
Not the best pic, will have more when they are on the car. |

RPM Roll Bars
So we have decided that it would be a good time and a good idea to go ahead and install a 6 point roll bar. However since I would like to retain the weekend driving experience and rear seats I needed to find a setup that could allow for some removable bars. I've been working with Tim at RPM roll bars and he is making a set with the harness/shoulder bar removable as well as a removable cross bar for my track days. The door bars are swing out and are removable as part of his standard setup. These are going to be painted Hugger Orange to match.
Here are some pics from RPM of their build on a camaro. Here is what it would look like with Sport seats, in this case Recaros. |

If it's done by May... Are you thinking on going to GM Nationals? That's a trophy winner for sure! And I can take a look in person before the Fest...

I do want to make it up to the GM nationals one of these years as I've never been. I think from what I've heard, GM nationals obviously has a wider variety of cars and perhaps more events, where Camaro Nationals is of course just Camaros of all gens and more show like. I have to say I saw some of the most pristine Camaros there, especially the 1st gens. If you somehow make it down to Frederick, definitely stop by and say hi. That goes for all C5ers! |

RPM is just a Hr & 1/2 from me I talked to him and looked at one of his cages at a show. They are very very nice you will love it. I would have one but my kids ride in the back all the time so that doesn't work.
