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.

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

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

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

Had a fuel injector malfunction. Went ahead and replaced. While at it I replaced the o-rings on the other five injectors, cleaned them with cleaner, and replaced the sparks plugs. Did the oil change this morning.

Been conflicted about this. Wanted to install recaro seats with planted brackets, harness bar and 4 point schrotch belts. However, after spending hours searching on the forum and other places I couldn't find a good solution to fix the air bag light. Plus I still wanted the safety of the seat airbags since the car is daily driven with 500 miles being put on every week. I saw another forum member install all black vinyl seat covers so I decided to make the transition as well from the fading cloth. So glad I did. Easy install and matches the car interior and exterior so much better.

More BMR suspension pieces coming soon.

Looks great, much better than cloth. You have almost zero side bolstering on the seatback and the seat itself, though... tradeoffs, tradeoffs everywhere.
