What did you do to your 6th Gen Camaro today?! - Page 192

Test fit my autocross wheels! No center caps, and I took them right off after a 5 mile test drive. I apologize for the lack of detailing on the car, the weather makes it hard to keep it clean! Also forgot to put on center caps for the picture.

This will minimize your time under the car with the jack pad three inches from your face. I, also have some trouble getting under the car so if you are going to be jacking up your car a lot put a small piece of painters tape under rocker panel where just visible and center it up with your jack pad so you can easily line it up without getting on your knees. I also paint a line on the jack and line up the paint mark with rocker panel to get the jack under the car just the right distance. No more getting on your knees, at least not for jacking.

No I do believe these set screws will hold the jack pads in place. I ensured that I they were flush to the underside of the body while in position of the pinch weld. I laid all I had into tightening them up and went over them twice. I will set I had the set screws set in such a way that when I pushed them into place they just barely pushed on to the pinch weld bit I heard them slam up against the body and it gave me less to tighten in the laying down position with the set screws on the other side of my direct view but I set up a mirror to help with that.

Thanks all. I appreciate the input.

I remember when I got mine, I thought "Is this tag really necessary? Would anyone actually forget this under their car?" And then the first time I used it, the tag saved my butt...

We went on a Sunday cruise yesterday through the Texas Hill Country to Luckenbach and Fredericksburg. Several Camaros, Corvettes, a Saturn Sky, a Challenger, and a Jeep from a guy whose C3 wasn't available. Nice day to be out in the country. Temps in the 80s.

I had to charge my battery so I can put my Camaro back on the road after winter hibernation.

Gorgeous! You're right in my neighborhood, in CP.

I know there is a lot of discussion about these, but so far the quality is excellent. They were an easy install.
