Wrapped in gold and autocross ready

Autocrossed it with some friends

More photos

What gold wrap did you get? I want to do something like this.

It's a high temp reflective heat tape. Ran autocross a few weeks ago and it was still cool to the touch after each run. I did small 8"-12" inch strips and coated the back of each strip with a high-temp epoxy to make sure it really stuck. For the larger area I purchased a 24"x24" sheet. Again, added epoxy to ensure it would last.



Have had it on for almost a month now with no issues and no signs of peeling, even with the rain we had last week.

holy 4x4 bodyroll haha you gotta get some springs or swaybars on that big boi

It's on my to do list once I get my 305's installed on the rear in a few weeks. More to come. If you have any recommendations for reputable shops in socal let me know. Not a lot in Monterey county

Installed a Velossatech Big Mouth. Chose black to keep it discreet. You do not have to take off the front end, just the metal cover where the hood latch is.

Getting 305's on the rear. Needed wider rims. These should work.

Installed BMR front and rear sway bars.

Upgraded the fe2 end links to BMR also. Makes a huge difference. Apparently the fe2 fronts are plastic.

Picked up a new battery. Old one bit the dust at seven years old and with almost 127,000 miles.

Running 305/30R20 on the rear's. Still 275/35R20 on the fronts. 5mm spacers all around.

Detailed

This arrived today

Car is looking great! Nice upgrades. :happy0180:

Saw these fender vents on another members car and liked the style. Went ahead and installed them

Installed a matching hood center vent from RaceLouvers

Wasn't feeling the semi-gloss powder coated black that came with the vents so I sanded and repainted to match the body.

Took it autocrossing for the first time since the upgrades. Huge difference. One of the faster cars of the day.

looks real nice, what kind of prep work did you do, I know you cant make it smooth like the aftermarket type, also what paint did you use, and will the paint stick ok without any promoter thanks

First I cleaned and wet sanded. Then I used two light coats of adhesion promoter. Used two coats of the duplicolor sandable primer in black. Then after the primer is dry do a coat of adhesion promoter. Then 4 coats of duplicolor universal gloss black paint. Let dry. Then 3 coats of the duplicolor acrylic lacquer clear coat (blue can with car, motorcycle, house, helmet on can). Took a out a day to do. Install the next day after everything sits for 24 hours

New OEM struts and rear shocks paired with Eibach pro-kit lowering springs.

Installed a new door check on the driver side. Man what a difference. Also decided to remove the wrap on the hood and wing. Doesn't look like it's in a primer stage anymore and makes it way more aggressive.

Full detail last night, then did some autocross this morning and afternoon.

Got my hands on practically new SS Brembo 4-Piston calipers, SS front rotors, SS dust shields and the SS stock brembo pads. Local guy was selling for cheap. Waiting on my Goodridge braided stainless steel front lines then getting it all installed. Switching from DOT 4 to the Motul 5.1 since it is a daily driven.

Goodridge front stainless steel braided lines came in. Painted the calipers yellow to match what's currently on. Brembo stickers should be here in a few days. Install next Thursday (6/1). Then new fluid flush and 0W-40 oil (6/6)

4 piston Brembos, braided steel lines, Motul 5.1 fluid.... All I can say is wow.

And for those interested in doing the same on your 2.0/3.6, all you need is the brembo calipers (caliper bolts are the same as the single piston stock calipers), a set of the 13.6" rotors, and likely new SS brake lines or a set of the stainless steel lines (I ordered mine for $75 from ZZP). Overall cost was a little under $700 including the Motul brake fluid and install with flush

Front of rear cradle brace installed.

Anyone else have a 4" binder full of all your upgrades, repairs, fluid changes over the years??

I do not! But I had a bunch of loose papers in a plastic bin, for my 1994 Camaro. Everything I have now for my 2020 Camaro is in a Gmail folder. :cool:

Installed BMR's driveshaft tunnel brace. Roughly a few ounces heavier than stock. Whole lot of red under the car now.

i went from 4 piston stock ss kit to 6 piston zzp kit and i felt the same way haha

Ran with the Vapor Trail Vettes in Santa MariaAttachment 1130020
