The key to not getting rock chips is not following anyone too close especially large trucks! The faster you and traffic are going the further behind you need to be..

Rocks just don't jump off the road by themselves to hit your car. They need to be kicked up by someone in front of you..

my car unblemished. I know I'm a spoiled Camaro owner, me being the exception
to the rule.

Lol, Its all good. My bumper is still in great shape. Just want to keep it that way a little longer if possible. I usually use hot water and car wash soap and the bugs come off easy. I just want to keep the bumper cleaner for longer lol. We do things that we think will help keep our precious babies safe lol.

Changed the oil and filter for the first time since she came to live with me in January.

Doesn't sound like an SS but I think it sounds great!

Gave her a good shakedown

chuckie669 · 08-25-2017, 11:28 PM

Drove around some, filled her up with gas while available and made room in the garage so harvey doesn't get her

Well I haven't technically done it yet but the powder coating company called and said they finished my wheels (took around 13 weeks...I knew there would be a wait before dropping them off though). I pick them up Monday so I hope to have them on the car Tuesday.

To tide me over I had them send me some pics and I decided to share. They are Niche M135s. I liked the style of the wheel but I wanted them to be different and I think this color will look great on my red car.

Now the only thing I cant decide on doing is the Niche in the center cap. The way the center cap is made is an aluminum piece over the plastic center. The word Niche is cut out of the aluminum and there is a mirror behind that. There are two choices I am thinking about. Leave the mirror behind it, which I think will look good with the grey wheels or replace the mirror with a red painted piece. The red would probably look good because it will match the car and also the calipers (if I ever put them on).

anyway...here are the pics the powder coating company sent me...They look great in the pics and I cant wait to pick them up on Monday.

I think adding red would look good. Even the Niche letters on the spoke

Turned over 40,000 miles today

Lowered on phastek springs and installed obnoxiously loud magnaflow muffler delete. It's not to loud when cruising with resonator still installed.

Oh hell yeah! Those wheels look amazing.

Man, I wish I could get some new wheels. I will probably get my stockers powder coated gloss black though.
