my paint holds up well on the engine cover. On the fuse panel though mine started to bubble up. i should have put some high temp primer on first. or i did not let it cure long enough. yours looks good by the way!

Just a suggestion. If you plan to take it on the track, 1/4, road course, or oval, better off to remove it to be safe. Mine is painted & graphics hydro-dipped. No issues but 1. I don't want to mess up the cover & 2. It traps unwanted heat under the cover. Both of your cars look bad ass by the way.....

thanks for the advice and the compliment! I did drive from tn to fl in one day and didnt notice it ruining. would removing it on ling trios be just as beneficial?

CruznSS · 07-10-2013, 10:08 AM

Wouldn't hurt if left on trips. Just traps heat. I do occasionally raise hood on stops to let heat out & do a quick check on everything. I just installed jba ignition cables....

Took about 15 minutes. Driver side is easy. Back corner passenger side is a bear to get to....

CruznSS · 07-10-2013, 10:49 AM

$85. Bought from Phastek.com. Quick little upgrade. Still had stock cables on & wanted some a bit thicker.

Ok. Replaced my havoc spoiler with the GM dovetail. Had a lot of fitment issues, paint splitting....with the havoc.

Not to hard to install but said a few hail mary's prior to drilling...lol

Looks great! Drilling causes me anxiety as well!

CruznSS · 07-18-2013, 04:34 PM

Anxiety started with center punch, eased a bit with pilot holes but that 5/8 hole turned my stomach. Reminded me of the halo rings.. all good...That top bolt is a bi@ch to get too, worse than taking front bumber off.....
