Default Did some things this weekend..
Yesterday i installed the ZR1 spoiler and plastidipped my wheels. Wheels look pretty good to me for a temporary thing... the pictures arent the best quality , iphone shots.. I would like to put in a blackout tint on the tail lights and brake light.. Any suggestions on where is a good deal for them? I would prefer an easy to remove kit.

Looks sweet. I really love that spoiler. Where did you get it? How was the install?

Is the car lowered?

Not lowered, I would like to lower the rear a tad, after i do more mods on the exhaust..

I got the spoiler from RPI and the install was easy once i had the right tools for the damn screws! just took off the lights, made the marks and drilled 6 new holes for the new spoiler and put the brake light into the new spoiler detach/attach the harness and put everything back.

the wheels was easy, i only used 2 our of 4 black pastidip cans and like 1 gloss can because it looked good like that. if i want to redo it sometime i have more to use.

thanks!

Always wondered why members do this. The car is driven on the street everyday and the license is seen by thousands and that's okay. On the forum only a few friends see it.

Since the surface is not perfectly smooth I bought the BDP from dip your car and it seems to clean my calipers and wheels really well. As you see I drive it in the rain as well as the nice days so cleaning them is a frequent chore

The center is lit up when you have your head lights or running lights on and the outside area and center get even brighter when the brakes are applied.[IMG][/IMG] you can get them at corvettemods.com a great forum vendor Black Onyx Tailights
