Hydrodipped? Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see what you do. My son and I are going to try and put my splitter on this weekend.

. It's expensive ($525 for grill and dipping), but it's roughly $450 anyway to get the grill and painted. It might be worth it. http://www.shopfesler.com/products/2...e-Grille-.html

Yeah, the carbon look in white should look pretty spectacular in the sun. It will be subtle yet unique. I haven't seen a camaro yet with a hydro carbon heritage grill in white yet. There may be one out there though.

That sounds incredible about your splitter. Congrats! That should look amazing. What splitter did you decide to go with? I would love to see a picture of it when you are done.

I have another question for you guys.

When I get the turbo installed, I was thinking of just chopping the flomaster mufflers off and running the pipes with the tips. Supposedly, the turbo mufflers sound really well, so the car won't be that loud. I was just going to do this in hope of gaining a lot of power. However, from what i've seen, the mufflers really aren't what's restrictive in the exhaust anyway, it's the crazy cats we have. I don't even know if it would be worth it to cut off the mufflers, especially if the power gains aren't noticeable in a boosted application. Any thoughts here?

You won't see any gains by taking off the mufflers, the only thing i would recommend would be to take off the stock cats. Gonna go back to mike soon to remove mine.

So you just blacked out the center? They look good.

bajamoon · 08-10-2011, 07:23 PM

Sweet. Need to take a pic at night. How hard was it to do? You put them in the oven the separate the light?

ChvyBoss · 08-10-2011, 08:00 PM

Looking good Jason. They came out nice.

TCAT · 08-10-2011, 08:01 PM

Nice Jason. Looks great so far. I can't wait to see a picture completed and lit up.

That's what I figured. The cats are killing the power. Turbonetics even did some power testing without the cats and they gained 110hp from what I remember, but with an additional 1.4psi of boost.

Removing cats gives u 110hp ? I'll go remove em right now!!! LMFAO

TCAT · 08-10-2011, 08:30 PM

Haha, me too! Remember though, that's with an additional 1.4psi of boost. I wonder what it would be with the exact same boost.

. I wish I didn't have to repaint the front and rear bumpers, mirrors, and door handles. However, there was NO way I'd install a body kit on the thing with a bunch of crap orange peel all over this car. It needs to be show car pristine. Some day, I'd like to take it to shows with hopes of it winning a category some day.
