Now might be a good time to check your profiles to make sure you aren't telling GM who you are and where you are so when they review this forum and see how you've been drag racing, "testing", and modifying your cars.

Same goes for any photos at the strip that have your license plate exposed.

Just a thought.

Also, was it ever determined if an exhaust could affect the warranty. A Vararam without a tune?

But they are out to save as much money as they can also. They could save a lot of money by going to Youtube alone.

Every penny will probably now be accounted for. Even the small ones.

I can guarantee that the dealers are definitely not capable of checking us out based upon these profiles. What was said before is correct that GM has bigger fish to fry.

Don't worry about it. Just put on the tin foil hat, and you will be fine.

I worry about the Stealth members myself. It would not surprise me if several members work in and for Japan.

I own a Toshiba computer (my mistake did not know until after the purchase) and know what they are capable of. Google "toshiba us submarine secrets".

I think they have serious problems to deal with right now, like how to keep the doors open. If anyone here on the forum gets busted for stealth modding by the general please alert the rest of us so we can put our cars back to stock. Thanks for the heads-up on this!

Why try to deliberately hide anything? If you modify or race your car you should be man enough to be responsible for your actions. If you're concerned about your warranty don't performance modify or race your car (during the warranty period).

Just generally speaking, anyone that 'hides' a modification or racing activity just to get a warranty repair done is IMO committing fraud. I have a low opinion of people that steal.
