What did you do to your 6th Gen Camaro today?! - Page 994

KenMaro · 09-18-2023, 04:52 PM

Took me awhile but finally did the differential fluid. First time I have taken a crack at anything like that. It wasn't too bad. had a little over 11k miles on it when I did it. It may just be my imagination but it feels like the ride is a little smoother (changing gears). I will say I have been checking on it constantly since I did the change, had some cardboard left over night underneath it to see if I didn't tighten everything down properly. No leaks but still has me checking everyday... praying I don't hear something I won't like coming from the back end.

Finally got my windows tinted, 5% on the back three and 20% on the fronts.

I put my rims on, looks great! Quick question. Is it safe to powdercoat the forged zl1 rims? I keep getting conficting answers, this was just temporary to see how it would look.

Absolutely safe to powder coat the ZL1 wheels. Go for it.

I was reading a thread where shop destroyed guy's zl1 wheels
Something to do with excessive heat they used while powder coating which destroyed the properties of the wheel and it started to bend easily

I have no experience with it… but this is probably the thread you reference.

I have to say that those look even better than I expected on your car.

Very unique. And the black center caps are the way to go.

I still wouldn't want to have to try to keep them clean.

yep... that's the one
Few people had pretty decent and logical explanation why this happened
Decided not to powder coat my wheels after reading this

Marked the garage, wife does not enjoy backing them in. I told her she just need to drive them more and get used to it.
