Technically it was Wednesday, but today is the first day I could get a picture even though it's potato quality.

So far I'm loving the look and the ride.
That is freakin' sharp! Does the lowering kit affect the magnetic suspension at all? Or, did you have to do anything to "recalibrate" since it was lowered?

Said goodbye to my old battery and finally took it to Autozone for recycling. The dude at the counter thought it was a new battery I wanted to buy and couldn't believe this unit was 4.5 years old until I told him to look at the datestamp It did look pretty clean, in all fairness, plus I'd put the terminal protectors from the new battery on it.

Not Camaro related, but I also fixed the rear bumper and replaced a jacked up taillight on wifey's SUV after an unfortunate mishap...

Did a chemical guys clay bar, then meguiars cleaner wax/polish, then meguiars carnuba plus paste wax all the old fashioned way by hand.
Allot of work but now she’s so smooth and shiny.

Well, technically just did something to some Camaro parts, but I had my electrician install some workbench outlets, lights, and added a switch to run my former tail lights onto my garage cabinets.

Didn't want to make a post until it was all said and done but got all of the basics done:
1. MBRP catback is on(amazing for the money)
2. Front end PPF
3. 3M Crystalline tint all around
4. Set of BC Forged wheels is on
Specs for those interested in the weight savings:
Stock Front: 29.1 Lbs | BC Forged Front: 23.3 Lbs
Rear: 30.2 Lbs | Rear: 23lbs

Not as much weight savings as say Apex wheels which look good and lightweight, color options is very limited and I needed to make my White 1SS 1LE pop so I chose to go with BC Forged. Car definitely accelerated easier once the new wheels were on.

Once everything was done, I prepped and detailed the entire car, brake calipers, and new wheels and graphene coated everything. Should be good for a few years.

If anyone remembered my thread from a few months back about going back and forth between the LT1 and a 1SS 1LE. I don't regret it one bit by going with the 1LE. One of my favorite parts of the cars is the massive brakes, and as a lifelong fan of big ass brake kits, I am completely satisfied.

ZL1 Wheel Love

Decided to Ceramic Coat the Caliper and Wheel (Inside and Out), Install new center caps (Old ones the Red 1 in ZL1 faded) and install Black Locking Lugnuts (All 5 are Locking). Much Better Now!

Took advantage of Indian Summer here. Also removed OE option Spider Stripes in anticipation of Rally Stripe Package arriving. The Spider Stripes were ok on the hood but looked quite wimpy on the deck lid & spoiler. Glad they’re gone.

My new co-pilot I bought to match my car decals arrived, so I added him to my dash.

Finished buttoning up the exhaust install. For whatever reason the kooks clamps for the axle section wouldn't tighten down so I had to order another set. Those came in and once i got them on, everything worked. I think I either tighten the originals down to much or maybe somehow opened it to much??? But whatever I did, the original 2.75 clamps wouldn't close anywhere past 2.94.


Now just waiting to drop it off at the shop Friday for a tune and pulley.

I love it, overkill to the max. I would have done the same thing on the outlets. To top it off, you pay someone to illuminate spare tail lights.

God bless America
