With the stock wheels I did my calipers black, but since I changed the wheels the black was not doing it. Had to switch up the color. Much better matches all the accents on the car now.

Those calipers came out amazing! Excellent work. What did you use to paint them?

I have a guy out here in CA that does them. He uses VHT High Temp Caliper paint, but it’s all in the process and application. He preps(sands), primers, paints and does multiple clear coats OVER the decals so they are protected. Takes him around 5 hours. I’ll ceramic coat them myself this week.

Using the Ctek that came with the ZL1 (part of the dealer order) to charge my dying Accord battery.

For the second time, a separate Schumacher battery charger with automatic maintain mode once charged failed to maintain. I trashed my last one because I figured I had dropped it too many times. This one is older but wasn't used much, and a bigger, higher quality one with 80 amp start mode(think it was $140 10 years ago, got it cheap at sears clearance ), and again, it charged to 100% and then seemed to just kill the battery. It said 12.5 volts and 100% charge, I reset it and it immediately read 11.1 volts and 10% charged(confirmed with my voltmeter). So I do not recommend the Schumacher speedchargers. Mine had an 80 amp(start), 20 amp(charge), 10 amp and 2 amp mode. My kill a watt shows it was drawing 100 watts in its failed maintain mode, so if you have one, I wouldn't trust it. Had the same thing happen with an old 20 amp max one.

I have a noco 1 amp on each Camaro, but thinking about the 4 or 6 amp gooloo maintainer for my daily since they don't have as much down time.to be refreshed

Hardwired a radar detector and dash cam with the gen5diy kit. Works great.

I replaced the driver side wiper insert with a new one. What a pain, I had to use my knife to extend the channels in the rubber on both ends so that I could slide it on, then put on the end caps.

Only paid $10 for the insert and 5 minutes of my time.

Found a good deal on an OE front splitter off a rear ended totaled 23. Now I’m really done. Lol

Put the 10,000th mile on it! 8120 since I bought it in Dec '19.
I-696 EB at Mound Rd. I shoulda done this on Woodward Ave!
Still hasn't been driven in rain except a few sprinkles here and there!

Replaced my leaking rear passenger mag ride shock, crazy how these leak after barely 40k miles. Install went smoothly maybe about 30 minutes. Also when you have a leaking shock, the car defaults to track stiff settings I've found out. The car rode so bouncy and now with the replaced shock, back to normal settings and ride. Glad to have her ready for the track next weekend.
