They might do go work, but was not impressed enough to spend 600$ for 3M, even though they were working on a viper at the time.

Planning on taking it to Extasy, just need to find time to get it over there and be able to stay while it gets done.

Both places use 3M.

Like the user name and congrats on the ZL1...

What did the $600 quote cover on the car? I am looking to get the entire front end done. (Front bumper, fenders, entire hood)

Thanks

Front bumper, half way up the hood, mirrors.

Another thing I forgot to mention, Shades and Shadows will cut the 3M to the car and on the car, Extasy will order a kit and install that, so no cutting material on the car.

Came up on the same guy on Loop 375 and he let me know right away it wasn't a regular SRT. Gotta say, I liked the damn thing. Sounded very nice! Shame I wasn't in the wife's ZL1. Would've been interesting.

What color? Think I saw a green one, but was driving by it at night.

The one on Loop 375 was black with the Hellcat emblems on the fenders.

If you gotta choice get the ZL1...it'll be familiar b/c its a Camaro...but it is completely different than a SS. Rudolph has 4-5 sitting on the lot, but Id avoid the black one (the paint has not been taken care of). I tried to work a deal on the silver one, but with a 600 mile trip I was able to take advantage of the 20% deal so I went elsewhere.

You'll definitely hear the difference.

If it was eastside on the loop, I'm sure I'll have an encounter soon enough. I'll be listening for screaming car.

I had just entered 375 south at Montana and he was there. Video isn't all that great but with some headphones or good speakers you can hear that thing purring.

it will probably be sometime before shopping again for better camaro, did you trade in your ss?

Yep, that was the gut wrenching part..letting her go. One of the reasons I wanted to buy out of town...didnt have to see her w/someone else. But, I had never heard a ZL1 on start up or driven one...so the first time I started it, I knew I had made the right decision.

Cant see the video right now.

I just caught a passing glimpse out of the corner of my eye at night...wasnt sure.
