The car will be undergoing the Pedders Rear FE4 ZL1 Sway bar hopefully on Wednesday. Will be adding the Pedders Camber bolts that are just sitting here and getting my alignment shortly after. This winter I've already detailed the car (pics in my build thread) and removed the stupid plastidip and painted my wheels satin black (pics in build thread as well).

lscamaro, nice mod list! I can't wait to see how it handles with the Pedders Z bar. I didn't get a chance to order the front bar before Pedder's vaporized from the forum so I'll continue using the BMR front bar with new endlinks!

Kjkjr27, as usual your Camaro does not dissappoint! Keep up the good work, even if you have to drive 3 1/2 hours to do it!

[mp51998]

Sorry I guess I can't join. I'm too busy driving. At least when I'm in the country. However when tax season arrives I have a couple of mods planned.

Thx although after yesterday I may need to do a new front end. I scuffed up the facia a little. I'm pretty annoyed but looking at this as an opportunity to upgrade. Now to convince the wife it's required.
