So one of these days we will find an open parking lot and I'll teach her around there. I do want her to be comfortable with it, just in case she ever has to drive it in the future for whatever reason.

Good Luck with that. My wife drove my '80 Z-28 but wouldn't drove my 2010 and won't drive my 2017. I even suggested the parking lot thing to her, but no go.

I made the mistake of testing the bulb twice (twice because I just really liked the way it looked ) before attaching the resistor to the body of the car. At that point, it was on for a full minute...and trying to attach it was not a pleasant experience...



Make sure you attach it before testing the bulb.



O_O



Also, I recommend having the backside of the resistor completely touching the metal body of the car. That would help bleed heat off of it the best. I took a crap ton of super detailed pics if anyone needs. I used the kit from Gen5DIY, and it's very different looking than the one they have a picture of. Also, their instructions made me more confused than anything else. But as stated, Sledgehammer70 has a great vid for another method.

I would like to see the pics.

I would just worry about the paint not matching. I had some work done on my last car and the body guy was good and during the day it looked perfect but at night you could see the difference. That bothered me.

Car was completed yesterday. They worked on the four issues.

• Red knee pads that were on back order - installed
• Missing rally stripes on tonneau - installed
• Misapplied rally stripes - redone
• Trim screw I found was installed back where it was supposed to go

I would take some pics, but she needs a bath and they don't want me to get her wet until tomorrow at the earliest. After tonight, she will be in bed until I get back from Florida late next week.



What a journey. Whew! Glad you folks were here as well as many others on the site. I will stick around too. I really enjoy the whole Q&A thing going one. Some stuff I will do later (when it cools down here) so I am taking notes.

Glad you got your Camaro issues resolved finally. Can't wait to see pics of it finally completed per order sheet. As well as any upcoming mods.

Agreed that Q&A thing we have going is awesome.

What oil are you guys using for your first oil change. I'm approaching 1000 miles.

Mobil 1 full synthetic 5W-30, 10qts, paired with a high performance Mobil 1 Filter M1-113. This info is for the SS btw.

I am in the camp of keeping non-synthetic through the break-in. Then Mobile 1 synthetic. I believe you need to let the engine wear before putting in synthetic. So I changed out break-in at 830 miles. I will run the standard oil for another 1-3K.

I don't have a vert but I'm not seeing what's wrong here. Do you have pic of what it's supposed to look like?

Gotcha I see now. Stupid questions, have you tried any troubleshooting? Like opening and closing, pulling and resetting the fuse?
