Above posts updated. Please let me know if any of the pictures don't work. Most of them are linked from Facebook, and a few of those are linked directly to my FB page which doesn't always work well for forums.

Here is what Bee looks like today:


What do I want to do next? Here's what I'm hoping to have done by the end of the summer:
  • Dynamat the trunk of the car. While I like the sound of the exhaust most of the time, it still has a bit of a drone at 60-65mph in 6th gear and I'd like to get that quieter. This should be done this weekend.
  • Rear upper control arm bushings. I have a set of Pfadt take-offs from a fellow Denver Camaro owner, just waiting to install with the stuff below.
  • New trailing arms & outer TA bushing. Probably going with the Spohn arms with spherical bearings & BMR outer bushing
  • Subframe bushings. Not sure if I'll be going with the Prothane full bushings or ADM Performance solid bushings. I really want the solids, but will be dependent on budget.
  • ZL1 springs. This is just an interim thing until I get the budget for some decent coilovers.
  • ZL1 side skirts
  • Splash guards
  • Painted mirrors. Just make the plasti-dip previously done permanent.
  • New wheels & tires. I have the stock rims powder-coated and fitted with Continental DWS's for winter use, but I'd like to get another set I can use for summer/track use. Right now I'm leaning towards 20x9 Ruffino Chronos wheels wrapped with Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 tires.
