We flew down to Bossier City, Louisiana to pick up our new Camaro 2SS from John McKee of: McKee Cars



Nightfall Gray, black leather, 6-speed manual equipped car. We have big plans for it, and have already started developing new lighting products for the 6th Gen Camaro. This Camaro will be in our booth at the 2017 SEMA Show:

SEMA 2017 Booth Information: North Hall-Mobile Electronics Booth #11961


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the drive back to Saint Louis, we took it to Habibi Motorsports to check the alignment:



Then we took it to our friends at AutoStyles to get the windows tinted and our Diode Dynamics' name banner on the windshield:





Everything looks better once tinted, we went 20% all around, and 35% on the windshield (because show car):

We are diggin' the Nightfall Grey, but the color will change this Spring once we take it to our friends at Vinyl Images & Design LLC for a full-vehicle wrap with Avery Dennison Vinyl Material.

Our friends at SCT Performance have provided us with a LiveWireTS for our build: SCT Website

Always a great performance mod to start with! We will run a basic 93 tune until more of our performance adders come in. Then we will have it custom tuned.

Our SCT LiveWireTS came in today, so we updated it and added a modified 93 tune on our car. I'm amazed by the difference even with just a base tune.

We will have it custom tuned once we install more power adders.

I highly recommend adding this tuner for your first performance mod.

HP5 Cool White Installed



We upgraded our license plate lights with our 194 HP5 6000K replacements. Super easy on the Camaro, and it really cleans up the rear end.

Also added some more usable output to the trunk by replacing the incandescent bulbs with our LED replacements:

We will be updating everyone as soon as production receives the lenses. The clear ones just arrived for production, so we should have some pictures of those soon.

They are so reflective, it's a major improvement over the OEM units just from a reflective and safety standpoint alone.

Very excited to post pics when they are available!

That will definitely give you the extra rpm and muscle car idle most are seeking.
The correct package CAI,CNC head, am and header/conection combo will be up 80-100 Wheel!

[kropscamaro16]

nice looking good so far guys!

[Diode Dynamics]

Here's the first look at our clear lens option installed on our SEMA build:

Perfect OEM quality fitment and finish. The retro-reflector design exceeds the OEM reflectivity for added safety.

Our production team is doing their best here, but we are still a few weeks away from releasing them. We are completing all final testing procedures and building up initial stock before launch.

We will continue to keep everyone updated, as we are excited to release this product!

I will post pictures with the smoked lens as soon as we have them. That's the color we will be displaying on our build.

Thank you,
Nick C.
