October 8th Car Show - Grand Ledge MI

LEDs Installed in the Sinister Hood

Winter Protection

Winter is on the way and now that I'm a little lower, I've been thinking about protecting my facia. Here's my Plastic Dip idea:

It actually did pretty good from Lapeer to Lansing. The bugs wiped off easy and there was one blemish from what must have been a rock. The paint was fine. I just spayed on a little more plastic and done.

It peals off pretty easy once you get started.

Last Camaro Event of the Year

Sure was a busy season of car shows and racing. Last Sunday was the last Camaro event of the season. At least here in Michigan--or is it.

Here are some pics from Scrming's 6th Annual Children of the Corn Drag Race at Lapeer:

Painted and installed in 30 minutes!

I can't say I feel a big difference but I hope to see an improvement on the track next year.

Hit the 36000 mile mark today on the way to work.

7 more miles on my bumper to bumber warranty - So far soooo good!
No major problems and the little things that did come up were taken care of by the dealer. I still love my car! :wub:

I can see you have had a blast with your car. Congrats on all the past and future experiences :)

Snow What--I'm Driving

My crazy drive home in Michigan:

And home safe. I love those Pirelli Snow and Ice tires.

Interestingly, I also saw a white Challenger. Good for him too.

i know i asked you about the hood before but how was the fitment on the hood. I seen some issues with the hoods but am wondering if it is the same with the CF version

Your car and my CGM car #8675 came down the line together. Yours would actually be one of the very first CGM Camaros... mine was #43.

They were delivered the exact same time too...:w00t:

Edit: Now that I've had a chance to Read the Thread... WoW :confused0068:very nice work you've done... Can't say enough about how nice this car is. Kudos...:clap: Can't believe I've missed it all this time...

Thanks for the comment - How did you find out about your number? That would be good to know:w00t:

It might be premature, but the weather has been so unseasonably warm that I'm taking a chance. I switched to summer tires.

Blinding Plasma Fog Lights

Boy these plasma fog lamps are bright! :cool:

That is the nicest engine cover mod I've seen. How did the plastic dip work out for you? How thick is it and did it leave any residue?

Plastic dip worked out. I came off okay with very little problem. It was hart to get it all off from the underside but not visible.

Can't believe what happened to me on Friday. A very bad morning. It'll take a little more than Dr. Color chip to fix. Photos to come. :facepalm:
