Awesome, can't wait. So far the only thing I got planned for mine, is to black out the bow ties, fuel door, and the Camaro emblems. Was even thinking about putting an Autobot decal under the wrap on the fuel door

Do you have pics of the entire car (with the lower zl1 skirts)?? Would love to see them.

Great updates; Congrats. I am not a fan of the lettering, but it was carried out nicely.

Dang Dude. You don't mess around. Nobody could ever accuse you of being lazy. You had a plan and executed. It looks great, but for my tastes I would substitute the yellow for the grey you used. The yellow doesn't really go with the metallic scarlet. But that's just me. Great job!

On second thought, I see that the yellow has a similar tone.

We moved on to Week 3. Final had some time to drive her. Still taken it easy trying to break her in but dam all this new found HP and I can't really get on it like I what to.

She's got 1500 on her and it's time for a Oil change. When i bought her she came with Free Oil Changes for LIFE, ya that's right LIFE. Call the dealer up and they tell me i need to wait tell 5k before they will do it. OOO no i tell them. Wouldn't even think about pushing it to 5k, they try and convince me that with this New Dexos oil i don't need to change it like older type oil. Still set in my old way i tell them not going to do that and decide to change it myself just to be safe. Rude wakening when i get to the Autozone to buy the oil and spend $75 dollar on Full Syn Oil and filter. Dam she's a thirsty bitch. O'well it's only one time and the dealer will take over from here. But dam glad i got free oil for life finding out how much it cost to buy the oil.

Okay now the Fun can begin. Fresh Oil, New Rubber, All these Mods i got to open her up. She deserves it. Ya that was fun. Finally seeing what see can do put a smile on my face for quit awhile. Got her up to 135mph on the Freeway and i think i feel a slip in the clutch. Maybe it's just me but since i pick her up the first day the clutch seemed to me loose, not quit right, seemed to rattle around at low speed and now i think i feel something at high speed. So i back off just to make sure nothing is wrong. Talked to a couple friend and posted on C5 to see if this has been an issue with anyone else. See a few post like this is normal operating procedures on the Tremex. Not happy i schedule a appointment at the dealer just to make sure. Don't want to have an issue on the Track next month at 150+. All's good dealer confirms that it is normal and nothing to worry about. Nice relief.

This week i take it pretty easy as the week before i mocked up some custom Brake Duct Coolers. I followed what GM did on the ZL1 and created a Duct Inlet to divert Air Flow into the Wheel Well. This is the cardboard template i made for my Aluminum Fabricator.

Curt Beam @ CRB makes the Ducts for me and is going to Mass Produce them for me if anyone is looking for a set. Still in the developing stage but got them mounted on these weekend and they are looking great. See detailed pics below of that installation.

Theses pics show the lower air diverter off the car and cutting out the Air Intake locations.

Final attachment to Body of car. Used a piece of Aluminum L Bracket cut to size and pop rivet that to the Duct and pop rivet the Duct to the Lower Air Diverter.

Once i got everything back together had to cut out the Wheel Well Liner so the outlet of the duct could blow into the wheel well. This is very close to how the ZL1 Ducts are but the Inlet side is different on it. We also mocked a set up on my buddy KaBoom1702's 2LT which is completely different and also a '13. Here are final pics of installation.

Let me know if anyone is interested in a set of these and i'll keep a tally of it.

Scarlet's Story continues into week 4. Stay tuned i got some more cool Custom Pieces coming up.
