Burning Brakes
Then you could buy the hardware and install additions to the wiring harness. Thats the easy part. It has to integrate into the software as it is a selectable item in the HUD/Nav Screen for when it opens/closes.

MOD 20: Black Gorilla Lugs!
I had these on my Camaro and loved them. Can you tell me what the part number was that you ordered?
Car looks awesome by the way!

He did put on an exhaust muffler upgrade, and a sway bar, and a spoiler....and if you read his post he doesn't have the cash to do it all at once and will do mods in stages. What's wrong with that?? It's his car, he can do whatever the hell he wants with it and feel free to share it with the world without being pissed on. More critique from people just feel the need to put down others. So eff'n annoying.
Some people on Fourms are A-Holes and can't help themselfs.

Working on a few things right now, so more updates in the next few days. Im working on painting the engine bay covers and also am ordering ARH long tubes, and likely a ported TB and intake. So things are about to get moving a little faster :-)

Ok, I did it. I pulled the trigger on a used set of ARH catted long tube headers (1 7/8") with Xpipe from Texas Speed, and also just ordered the WeaponX stage 1 kit from Ben.
Stay tuned..
Stay tuned..

Couple of updates.
MOD 28: American Racing Long Tube Headers 1-7/8" with Catted X-Pipe
MOD 29: Elite Engineering Catch Can
Couldn't be happier with the sound of the car now. I did have the catless X-pipe on for about a week but that was just tooo loud for even me. The catted pipe is just right. Due to some missing parts for the headers, I did not get them completed on schedule so I missed my tune appt. that being said I am holding off on the ported TB and Halltech intake until I am able to go get tuned since I am already freaking the computer out with the long tubes. I don't want complicate things..

Moar updates!
MOD 30: Upgraded shocks from stock base shocks to Z51 shocks
Here is a good pic to show the difference between the base shocks and the Z51's. These are rear shocks for the Z51 (Left) and base (right). Impressions are that the car feels like it should now!
MOD 31: Lowered on factory bolts 2.0. (Rubber bumpers on bolts cut down)
Took 3 trips to the "speed bump parking lot" to get the corners set properly and this pic was right after. It will still further settle over the next week so it will get a pinch lower too..
