Hi Guys,

I've been busy on the beast over the past week..
(Aside from sorting out the damage from the e brake failure)

I've had the windows tinted with a heat reducing film which supposedly has carbon nano particles in the film to improve performance...
I don't know if it's true but I put a solar load meter on it and it reduced the sun load from 180 BTU's in full sun to 40 BTU's behind the film....

I've fitted headlight armor kit with smoked tail lights, reverse lights, side markers and front indicators. The headlights and DRL's are done in clear.
I also went to the local GM Holden Dealer and bought 20 of those black plastic covers for the wheel nuts to get rid of the chrome on the nuts. And whilst I was on the anti chrome push, I plasti dipped the Camaro badge on the fenders.

I think it's coming along nicely.
While I was at the supermarket today a father and young son waved me down to take a photo.
The young kid asked if this was Batman's car?

I said "No, but I think it's an Autobot Transformer..." and winked at him.
It made his day.

I've fitted new high output Osram HID headlamp bulbs (70% more light, 60ft longer beam and 5% whiter light than standard) to help spotting the Kangaroo's.

Can you see them.....?

Now I'm waiting for a package to arrive from Gen5DIY to arrive with my 50watt DRL LED bulbs, 50Watt fog light bulbs and a custom lighting harness to turn my halo's into DRL's and my DRL's into driving lights that come on with the high beams... (Kudos to Jarod at Gen5DIY for turning around a custom order so quickly)

Then there's the licence plate bracket from Jason at Jacfab that on its way....

Cheers

Brad
