As updated in the original post, I decided I wanted a little more light when I get in the car and I'm trying to see what I have in the trunk as well. I went to Diode Dynamics and got some LED lights to make that happen. I think I made a pretty good decision, but you decide:

Awesome ride. Like that grill up front.

pyroguy · 02-07-2019, 05:57 AM

Thanks man. Apparently they're hard to come by these days. It's a GM Heritage grill.

Nice attention to detail! The car looks amazing... always loved ABM. Looking forward to see what else you come up with.

Thanks! To quote one of my favorite TV car personalities, "It's all about the details". I still have some cosmetics that need taken care of IMO and some suspension work so that I can plant the power and eventually different wheels, but with a second child coming next month, it's going to be a little slower on some of the upgrades I'm afraid. Thankfully my wife has said that she doesn't want me to ever get rid of the car unless I'm really just not enjoying it anymore because of how much she knows I love it.

Well I'd have another update except I ran into a hickup on the latest mods install. I'll be updating soon and I have some mods in my garage to install. It's a bummer to not be able to have them on already.

Until the new mods, here's a picture from the first car show of the season. Cool tidbit of info is the first show was on my birthday and I got to take my oldest son with me. He's 21 months old. Proof positive that car seats DO fit in a Camaro!

Thanks Ed. IMO, the devil is in the details and I do what I can to make her better. She's getting closer to completion, but not done yet (if ever!

)

Man do I love my wife! This is what she got me for my birthday this year.

My original fuse box lid got scratched during my cam install and it was bugging me, so my wife decided to get me a new fuse box that was better than ever. Sorry for the sideways picture. I still don't know how to rotate them once uploaded.

QmaroSS · 06-03-2019, 05:08 PM

Very Nice!

That Looks good! The fuse box cover was the same thing my better half got for me for Christmas.

GK_2012_SS · 06-26-2019, 08:36 PM

Very good write up, great looking car. Curious as to what splitter you had on there? And if I'm not mistaken that is the ZTA rear spoiler, correct? Though it looks like you may be changing both of those out.

I am in search of a spoiler, I like the ZL1 the best but too nervous to drill and patch holes! Maybe you can tell me your experience with that.

Keep it going!

Thanks for the compliments. The front splitter is from the GM aground effects package. I have the full GM aground a effects kit on the car. The spoiler is a ZTA spoiler. I have been super happy with the ZTA spoiler as it is super high quality. I would compare it to GM factory quality feel. It bolts right up to the existing bolt holes for a factory 10-13 spoiler without modification. I had a body shop paint and install it when I had my ground effects kit installed a couple years ago.

Thank you sir! I have to say, with as sad as I was to hear you sold your Camaro, that Vette is SUPER nice!! I’d say lets’s run them, but the little playing in Mexico that day tells me that you’d likely still kick my butt!
