Took the car to the track this weekend.

It was a spur of the moment decision. No prep whatsoever. Just grabbed my helmet and went.

Ran a 1:34.327 on Streets of Willow CCW.
Actually better than I expected since I was taking it easy on the car. Not my normal track day ride but it was still fun.

Looks good!

I'm considering doing this. The stock Chevy logo colour is starting to feel like it's detracting from the aesthetics of the car (hyper blue).

It will be interesting to see how well it holds up, since you didn't scuff up the emblem at all prior to painting. I'd like to see how it looks in six months or more. Looks good though!

You can replace the stock bowtie with a custom one from River City or another of the vendors that advertise here.

http://rivercitycreation.com/2016-17...ories_c732.htm

I have the color matched ones. Front bowtie has a hyper blue outline (chrome part) and gloss black center. Rear bowtie has the reverse - black outline and hyper blue center. These photos are old but you can get the idea.

Left her at home and took the IROC out. Been awhile since the ol' girl's been out of the garage.

Wanted to see what the car would look like with black wheels before dropping serious cash on a set. Plasti Dip to the rescue

Honestly, the chrome finish looks better. Maybe powder coat black chrome?

it looks great both ways but with the stripe, the aluminum finish seems to go better. but the mirrors partially blacked out looks good with the black wheels.

i think the problem is those stock SS wheels are just not good looking, but I think they are better black, but I'm not a big fan of those rims at all.

I installed the AFE intake and took off the front bumper and plasti dipped black all the plastic on the front and removed the lower grill accents.
