Anything I should look out for?

If using a dremel, DO NOT USE THE PLASTIC CUTTING WHEEL. I dont know if it was me but I had a hell of a time using that junk. It ended up messing up the lenses in the inside but really not that noticeable. Thats my only tip

. Oh an make sure you actually use something to hold the halos to the housing. You don't want the 3m that it comes with failing and then having a halo hanging inside your housing

. And post pics when u are done so we can see how more badass ur car looks

Thanks Ron, remarks like this make it all worth while. Much appreciated.

Haha I wonder if that could really work??

Okay, I really need summer, I'm just looking for things to do to my car that don't need to be done.

No sawtooth plastic wheel. I'll use a fiber cutoff wheel.
I'll replace the crappy 3M white with some 3M red.
It's always better to do it right the first time.

I'm glad I'm not doing headlights or taillights or other lighting. Cutting things apart & splicing wires makes me very nervous.

I'll be having my fun when I start cutting holes in front fenders & rear quarter gill ports.

That's how I felt when I did my Hex Vents.

Can't wait to see this!

Can anyone tell point me to a place in N.Y. that does an excellent job on refurbishing wheels...... had one of those days today.

Chief13 · 02-21-2014, 06:16 PM

Would some please be so kind as to point this novice in the right direction? I have been looking around the forums and cannot find what I'm looking for.

I would like some advice on exhaust for my 2SS. I am not into loud, just nice and throaty with hp improvements. Can it be done in phases and where to start?

Oh, yeah, bonus check and tax return both landed this week so...I ordered CAI intake and accessories from Apex and a 1LE strut brace today. Guess you gotta start somewhere.

If I had to redo my exhaust, i would go with the ZL1.

I bought the Magnaflow exhaust, only now since i installed LTH, does the car sounds like it has some balls.

I am very sorry to say that I will have to pull out of the Motorama show. My son is being transferred from the Dept. Of Justice office in Washington DC., to the New York City Office. His first day of work is Monday, March 24th. My wife and I are leaving for Washington to help him on Wednesday March 19th. I have PM'd Camarojoe to let him know I will have to back out. I am very sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause to you guys already in the show. This has been in the works for my son for quite a while, but was suppose to be for the weekend before Motorama. Just got changed yesterday. Again, I am sorry and quite upset.
