EXT version? Pinch weld adapters? I have been waiting for extension rails for my 5000SLX. Good to finally see a 6 Gen up on a QuickJack!

yup, for everyone asking about my quickjack setup, i went with the bl-7000ext.
i did a lot of research, and the slx models simply do not have a long enough span to lift the camaro. unless you are working on a short wheelbase car like the miata, the slx is risky.

Yes, they are coming out with extensions, but for me the ext was perfect. i dont see many vehicles that would be too short for it, and certainly none in my near/distant future.

i went with the 7000 simply because i have a ford edge to lift plus my dad and some buddies have 1500 trucks as well. didn't want to limit myself.

i added the pinch weld adaptors, but you can do without. in fact, my camaro is currently still in the air on the standard blocks.

so final recommendation, either the 5000 or 7000 in etx format.

Thanks to River City Creations changed out my shifter bezel to one colored to match 50th anniversary hood, Nightfall Gray and Orange.

Wow, that looks pretty cool. I like that, I want that.

Warm enough today to put the top down and ride around a bit.

or.... get a 5000SLX like I did for Christmas and once I figured out it's too short for the Camaro I ordered the extensions (should be delivered today). Now I have the SLX for vehicles with a shorter wheel base and the extensions for longer. Like you, I would have went with the EXT version to begin with but since Santa made a mistake I now have options.

Did the IKON motorsports blade spoiler (does not cover the spoiler holes as I'd thought it did. Close, but not quite), and the ZL1 1LE 3rd brake light. Also slapped some 3M gloss black vinyl along the bottom edge of the rear quarter to finish of that stripe of black that the rockers creates along the lower edge of the car. Just until I can get a wrap around diffuser or something. Ordered some rock guards as well.

What are you going to do about the spoiler holes?

For the moment I just put some vinyl over it. The car doesn't come out in the rain so shouldn't be much of a concern. I'll either wait for another spoiler that does cover the holes or if I stumble across a summit white LT or 1LE trunk. Not quite sure yet.
