Let's see what will I do first,
1. No drill front plate solution
2. Tint, painted stripes, paint that engine cover to match
3. CAI, Header, Catback if needed.
4. HP Tuners
5. Pedders Suspension
6. Die a happy man.
7. Come back to life and get APS TURBOCHARGING

I was really hoping to see more aftermarket stuff from the SEMA show but it seems several dealers have yet to release anything, most likely because they haven't had their hands on the new car yet. I'm also crossing my fingers for a 2011 Z28 since it will be late next year before I'm in a position to purchase the new car.

how much would it cost to tint the windows. And how much would it be for a cold air intake...

there's a thread on the tint, CAI could range depending on who you buy from and what brand you get

T! E! X! A! S! · 12-07-2008, 06:53 PM

One thing I would recommend for those getting new. If you plan on keeping the vehicle you might want to treat the underbody and other places to try to stay a step ahead of the rust.

Before it get's crud. Put some Por 15 underbody treatment.

Might want to try some Royal Purple break in oil for your 1st oil change. Then go to Royal Purple for 2nd. Tranny change to Royal Purple ATF after 1st change. 1st diff change put in Royal Purple. And no lol I don't work for them hehe.

Keeping the interior in good shape is also important. Don't allow other people to get it dirty. I learned a lot from hot rodders and low rider builders in my area. Keep it clean and mean.

changing fluids is for noobs. they make components better these days so they never wear out. keeping it clean don't do anything for you, so it's gonna be my party car! open Kool-Aid for every trip & dirty work boots.
