It is cut nice, looks like a factory install should. It only extends under the hood a quarter inch or so. I took a pic last night, but it didn't turn out good. I will try again today. Sunny here, but COLD.

PICS would be great. Thanks bro!

What are you asking? A forum on C5 or something else?

Good to hear. The red hash marks look awesome with the white and black.

Its folded over for better protection against peal. Looks alright.

By the way, did u get wheel locks? I posted a thread under wheels and tires on the gm locks they are putting on my car when it comes in. Curious what you got.

Grats on the new ride! Looks great! I hope they give you your splitter soon.

Scrappy Doo · 10-27-2012, 12:34 PM

Looks great Mark!

Hopefully they get your splitter soon.

And it warms up...... It's cold as hell here already. (Although, good for deer season next saturday!)

molsonbrador · 10-27-2012, 12:42 PM

Congrats man, I could look at that all day.

Wheels · 10-27-2012, 03:48 PM

Grats on the ride Mark.. Looks sharp! So makes me want mine to hurry up and deliver .. slow Trains to Texas!

jgalewsk · 10-27-2012, 06:30 PM

Congratulations on the new ride! Keep the pics coming. Video would be awesome! I have one just like yours on order. TPW 11/12! What are you planning on doing to her?

MarkSS · 10-27-2012, 06:46 PM

Going to do a cam and CAI plus high temp brake fluid (probably the most important change). Then run a season at the track that way and see if I feel the need for more speed or not. I may take up autocross again. My stock 2010 just wasn't fun for that... the courses around here are short and it just wasn't agile enough. This car is different and I am going to give it a shot. I had a 2007 Cobalt that was a way better autocross car than the 2010 Camaro. If this car can compete on the stock tires, that would be a plus, because hauling another set all the time is a pain.

ssummit camaro · 10-27-2012, 08:17 PM

Is the underside of the hood painted?

Mgizzle · 10-27-2012, 09:56 PM

Yes it is painted body color, the while hood is. It is wrapped after paint hence why many members are thinking of taking hoodwrap off.
