I like those flares! I have an IBM and wonder if red would look good on it? Or would it end up looking purple or pink because of the blue. I don't want to go with the typical white.

We went on a road trip to eastern Oklahoma and got a bunch of questions and comments on the badging on the car. Folks were very receptive to them.

We had a blast and met a few other Camaro owners while we were there.....good times!

Light feet? Who? Me? No way!

Since you have an LFX, you may not be experiencing what we LLT owners do in the lower range of RPM's. What really caught my attention was when going up a hill (at a slower speed) the motor feels like it's, umm, lurching? Seems like it's struggling sometimes. (I know that my description isn't great - maybe someone else could explain it better?)

Also decided to paint it, came out nice.

Very, very nice! I'm so glad to know that you're happy with your install/purchase.


I'm waiting patiently on mine to arrive!

A couple cheap and easy mods will make that go away. RX ported throttle body and RX Black Ice manifold insulator will make the car feel new again.

EDIT:...woops I see hawkfe already hit up on some of this.

I used the front hole on both sway bars. This is the softest setting for them. I wanted to try this set-up first to help reduce the understeer. So far so good. Had them on for over a year (16K miles) and no complaints.

Thanks how have you found them improved handling and less body roll? I want to make sure when they are installed that there is no oversteer You reccommendation will not allow that correct

I am completely satisfied with my set-up at the moment. No more body roll. I have not pushed it to the point of no return on the street when going thru a corner. I have only once felt it get into an over steer condition otherwise it feels very neutral.
