Those will look awesome on your Camaro. 1LE wheels are by far the best looking OEM Camaro wheels. On top of that they are the perfect size wheels for the car.

I feel you. I have six vehicles to service. Wife's, kids and my three. It seems that one of them always needs something. But I wouldn't change having to do it either.

I'm with you guys, 6 vehicles here now as well (my Camaro and my DD, Wife's car, daughter's car, other daughter's car and son-in-law's car (but he is starting to do the maintenance on "their" 2 cars) so I'll basically be down to 4...

Thanks, I absolutely agree, love the SS 1LE wheels!

Haven't noticed that until now. Absolutely the proper finishing touch!

Thanks, I have always liked the classic Camaro badge and the chrome complements the the little bits of chrome the car has like the flow tie and chrome buttons on door handles.

Saved a massive amount of weight in the front by installing a stunningly beautiful, high quality CF radiator cover. Fitment and dimensions are 100% perfect, everything is exactly where it needs to be, transferring the clips was a piece of cake.

The stamped steel OEM part weighs 3 lbs 10 oz and this carbon fiber piece is almost as light as a piece of paper, so I'm sure my car will now really tear up the backroads

That looks really nice!

You know, the funny thing is how much these seemingly meaningless accents added to the engine bay (or the interior for that matter), who would've thought. A nice Maggie or a Roto-Fab intake are of course way more substantial, yet that sweet twill weave is a such beauty to behold. Pictures don't give these carbon fiber pieces justice, they are one of the few parts that look much better in person than in any photo.

Haha, true that. I bookmarked it some 2 years ago, and other upgrades were ahead of it in the queue, plus I didn't have a dime for this fluff for a long time. I can definitely see why you went with these covers.

Yeah, I loved the CF radiator cover as it fully replaced the OEM steel one. So it’s fully functional with great weight savings in addition to the bling.

Yesterday I washed, clay barred and added another coat of ceramic top coat to the car (I didn't use ceramic on the parts of the front fascia where PPF is going to be reinstalled). I plan to make an appointment tomorrow to have the PPF reinstalled now that the repairs after my accident have been completed and the paint has had time to cure.

This morning I went our for a drive around town and decided to take some pictures at a couple of locations.

I hyperdipped my rims white today! Two of my cans were messed up, so only got 2 coats of Grey and 4 coats of white (shouldve been 6), but it looks pretty decent. Wanted to see how it looked before committing to a paint job. I must say, I thought the barrels being black would look dumb, but doesn't look too bad imo. Letting em dry a little longer and gonna mount tomorrow. I haven't seen many people paint their zl1 rims, and now I know why, lol. Sooooo many angles to get. I painted the center caps as well, but I'm thinking of peeling it off and staying black, what do you guys think, all white center cap, or peel it off and have black cap?
