Man. Just cutting off the mufflers......WOW. Pretty loud now. Still going to have to get used to it. I just hacked them off and didn't replace any pipe or tips.

So today, I put it in the garage. Seems the right thing to do since it has the stock summer/dry tires, and it's cold here, near Toronto. I won't bring it out until it's over 7ºC (45ºF), since the tires will crack if I do, apparently (there's some service bulletin, but that bulletin is secret. Unless someone can show me the URL).

Anyway... this car is incredible.

Yep I won't even drive my SS until it warms up. You can drive her now but you won't be able to enjoy it's true potential.See ya in April lol!

Don't ya just love those people that are taking the depreciation hit for you and not drive their car thinking of how much it will still be worth when they sell it and you get an almost new car for a song... it may be worth a little more in 5 years than one with 20 or 30,000 miles on it but not enough IMHO to let the car sit and be wasted.
I hardly ever sold a car without a minimum of 30,000 miles on it. Cars are meant to be driven, not sit covered up in a garage 90% of the time.

Unless Trump bought a ZL1 there is no secret service bulletin telling him not to drive a car on summer tires during the winter.

Maybe there is a super secret bulletin though, but he isn't allowed to see it.

Put it up on jack stands, crawled around underneath and wiped it all down nice and clean.

Bought some white fuzzy dice for mirror & found the 'Born Date' 05/14/13. Since I had the hood up I detailed the engine bay with wet/damp paper towels & some parts with Windex. 1st time it was detailed. It needed it bad. Here's the bay spic & span.

Had my SW Retro Chambered catback installed!

Installed some (White) Oracle led flex strips underneath the doors with a toggle switch on the inside... man was it a task, glad my wife is a tomboy, she's a keeper for sure hahaha

Got my Zl1 spoiler, Roof, and mirrors wrapped in gloss black and had my oracle afterburners installed

Spec · 01-25-2017, 05:04 PM

Digging the black roof. Did you do it yourself? If not, how much did that cost?

18LTLoveIt · 01-25-2017, 05:15 PM

Like the black roof, why did you do the mirrors & spoiler?

Desert Designer wraps did everything for 250. A-Dilla helped me out

I used to have them plasti dipped, and I really liked the look. When I saw the price for all 3, I had to jump on it. It should flow well with my street scene splitter once it gets here. I aslo wanted the spoiler wrapped as I am going to add a wickerbill too it, and the black wickerbill wouldnt look so good on the red spoiler

The Oracles look clean also. I like both styles, the 1.0 and 2.0 versions.

It looks like you've got a light tint on your tail lights. And did you remove the small contact wire from the bulbs, so that just the LED's light up with your parking lights and normal night driving conditions (braking exempt)?

It all looks great! Now grab a good set of LED side markers...
