Just added new brake and clutch fluid. Clutch fluid was black as tar. Nasty. Ran 2 cycles of clean fluid through.

Polishing the C6 wheels now. Waiting on adapters still.

I can take one when I get home. It clips around the AC/radio bezel. Super nice.

Went to the website and found the correct mount for the vehicle. It's on it's way to the house now! Thanks a bunch for the idea!

Yeah sure did. Base mount and holder. Fixing to order the harness and iSimple to hook it up to the Stock H/U. First thing I'm going to do when I get home in a week is install it and my new LED package for the Doors, DIC and Fog/Trac contols ... along with the Wind Restrictor.

Just out of curiousity. I see you painted your calipers. Do you like that better then the covers?

Covers look fake most times. This was a $20 kit and is WAY cheaper than the covers too

Ok, today's agenda in full swing

Got all of the studs cut down and adapters mounted. Just installed skip shift eliminator. Going to polish the wheels and scrub well liners before mounting the wheels back on. Also my Lloyd's mats just arrived. Pics later.

$20 kit huh. Where did ya get it? Is it a specific caliper paint kit? I might have to make that another project for these days off.

Adapters look nice. Can't wait to see the wheels mounted.

Advance Auto. It's the brush on kit.

I wet sanded the inside of the wheels. Polished and waxed the fronts and insides of them too. I'm whipped. Gotta go to work now.

I'll prob mount the rears tomorrow. I'm gonna leave the fronts off until I install my vararam. Figured it'd be easier with them off.
