Default My Camaro got some love

been doing mods to the camaro lately and have been neglecting the truck since its summer and drag racing in the summer here sucks

anywho , started by removing the vinyl stripes which began to look like ish since its parked outside alot . i also got sold my old wheels and got a set of fikse forged 2 piece wheels , 17 x 9.5 front and 17 x 11 rears , dave you think your wheels took long i waited well over 2 months for these to be made. i was some anxious to get them . the stock wheels are 17 x 9 and weigh 22 lbs each the fikse 17 x 9.5 weigh 18 lbs and the 17 x 11 weigh almost 19 . the tires i have now also weigh less for the front 275 and the rears weigh a pound or two heavier , so i lost 5-6 lbs a wheel in the front and about 3-4 in the rear even with the much wider 315/35/17's. the quality of the wheels is insane i posted a picture of the backside of the wheel in the spoke where its been lightened by hollowing the spoke out.




i also installed a line lock to heat the rear et mt streets i have on the stock wheels( 275/40/17) which i have been driving on for the past 3 weeks
a friend and i also painted some of the interior plastic mettalic dark blue while i did the line lock .

Since i had the brake system opened i deceided to go ahead and have some SS lines made, i had them use blue covering instead of clear( anyone interested in SS lines for their trucks i can have them made in almost any color )





here you can see the led when the line lock is armed



and here is the hardlined line lock on the driver side fender well( notice the kooks headers)



i also painted the calipers with g2 epoxy which leave a powercoat like finish that has good durability , with some logos'( here you see the blue ss brake lines and koni/strano shocks and springs)




and some final shots with the durty girl herself





here you can see the sub frame connectors ( under rockers) used to stiffen up the unibody frame to help with less chassis flex)




also installed kooks SS lt' headers with ory and magnaflow catback , it is actually quiter now with no cats than it was with the mani's and the slp loudmouth 1. but at wot it sounds kind of mean . but needs more .

i also have a nice power adder coming but its nothing real crazy , ill be installing it later but just trying to peice it all together. its not FI or nitrous this car must retain reliablity and look stock . but should make over 430 rwhp
