Plastidipped the side marker lights so they are just a slit..

Looks like it matches the hash marks pretty good. I like the side markers. How did you mask off the slit?

I have read that if you tune your LS3 then you really dont need the TC...is this true?

Lots of guys say they drive it dialed all the way up all the time but in reality it can be almost dangerous in some situations.The response is so immediate that you could easily rear end someone in bumper to bumper traffic. Yet when dialed back to the lower economy settings it can help you out when you just want to feather it lightly. Another user commented how it helped out in slippery winter weather. I really find mine useful when I want to put it up on ramps, you don't have to be super careful on the gas pedal. Get one, you won't be disappointed, there's no substitute to fine tune your response like that

I thought I would sell my VTC after a ported throttle body and remote tune, but I still can tell a big difference with it. We'll see after headers.

Just used a razor knife to cut the tape to the size I wanted the slit, 25mm front, 35mm rear.
Put it in place, taped off the lights and added a LOT of layers of black Flexidip. ($6 a can from Home Depot)
Had to turn on the lights so I knew it was dark enough...
I let it all dry and gently cut around the tape before I lifted it off the light.
It's no perfect, but it's cheaper than using vinyl covers and it's a DIY so I like it better..

Washed it

I had one, but was too nervous to cut my hood.
If I can find another one cheap enough, i'll do it.
I love the look..
Nice job!

Bought a torque wrench... which can only lead to fun stuff. Got it on sale as well. $8 off.

I re-set the pre-load on my coilovers and gave myself a little more ground clearance until i can get some exhaust work done and get some stuff moved up.

Raulo19 · 02-13-2017, 04:56 PM

I drove it. Carefully. I have one of those devices from the insurance company on it.

PalmerGA · 02-13-2017, 05:04 PM

Gave her a much needed wash and wax.
