What Did You Do To Your Camaro Today?

To tide me over I had them send me some pics and I decided to share. They are Niche M135s. I liked the style of the wheel but I wanted them to be different and I think this color will look great on my red car.

Now the only thing I cant decide on doing is the Niche in the center cap. The way the center cap is made is an aluminum piece over the plastic center. The word Niche is cut out of the aluminum and there is a mirror behind that. There are two choices I am thinking about. Leave the mirror behind it, which I think will look good with the grey wheels or replace the mirror with a red painted piece. The red would probably look good because it will match the car and also the calipers (if I ever put them on).

What color is that? Looks like gloss gunmetal. Looks nice. 13 weeks? How much? I would do a similar color center cap and let the calipers stand out. Here are my graphite M017's. Calipers look a little orange in this photo, but are a deep Brembo red. Post up some pics when the wheels are installed.

It's prismatic powders ultra black chrome and clear over that. I tried a sample first along with a couple of other colors (I have a powder gun and small oven) and this was my favorite. Its not a true black chrome and doesn't need a base coat.

I was told from the beginning they have a lot of big customers that are always bringing stuff in for quick turnaround and the wait would be at least 6 weeks. Overall I wasn't in a big hurry so as long as they look as good in person as they do in pics I will be happy with it.

Made a trip into town just to fill up with Mobil 93 because of the
disaster in Houston Tx. Lots of the refineries could experience
interruptions or shut downs per the news. Better safe than sorry.
Also, paid $2.94/9 AM.... We'll see where it goes, probably up.

Richie Rich I would say about 2 hours and you will notice a difference even if you really take extreme care of your car.

Most people don't have any clue where their fuel comes from, by design.

Those huge fuels storage tanks you may see from the highway are redundant. Usually used only when a pipe needs a repair. Some fuel is stored in there so in the early hours when a lot of trucks line up they have a reserve. It's all planned. The big spenders, like BP, Shell, will have first shot. The cheap places get what's left from the bottom of the tank.
So everyone buying Mobile or Speedway, etc, thank you for keeping my pipes clean.

Nice touch. I like how you painted your rockers and splitter to match the car. Looks clean.
