Time for a little update:

I have been contemplating removing the hood wrap since I purchased the car. Yes,Yes, I get the fact that the matte hood warp is a "signature look" of the 1LE package, but I didn't buy my car for the look, I bought it for the hardware and handling of the 1LE package. I really like the matte warp on the white and the reds ones.....But on my AGM I thought it always looked like the hood was dull or dingy. I also couldn't stand the fact that people always had to touch it!......So it was time.

I also have a problem with my clear bra on the car....I got a killer deal from a friend, but sometimes you get what you pay for :( I started to pull some of it off and cant believe how yellow it had already turned in the 18 months it has been on the car. It is garage stored, not a daily driver and spent 6 months under a car cover.

The is still a clear bra on the area below the headlights down in the pictures...you can see it looks dull.

-Matt

Congrats on COTW - very informative build thread that I learned more than a few things from.

Glad to see other people doing HPDE with their Camaro. Also makes me feel good knowing someone as experienced as you is toying around with these fat girls.

Please post up any pics with the new tires on the Z/28 wheels when you can!

I am ordering a Recaro seat for it tomorrow and then will be at the track on Friday. I will try to get some pictures at the track.

UPDATE: Just ordered the Z/28 Recaro: 4 way manual, power back from Maureen at Rodgers this morning. I hope to have it before Fridays track event at Gingerman.

It will look like this: (Picture from another forum member, td195)
