I also wrapped the rocker panels and partially the rear spoiler, but I didn't have time to take a photo. Will post a couple of photos when I have some time and when the sun comes out here in London
That's awesome. It all looks really good. I'm glad you liked the design as well! I've never been to London, but if I do go, I would just move and have my car shipped. Then we could have a beer (or 20) and a photo shoot. We'll take photos regardless of the foggy, dark grey skies and dragons flying around

I 'll take you up on that beer thing! Actually foggy, dark, grey skies and dragons flying around would be ideal for a photoshoot of our cars!

I took delivery of it. "Old yet new guy" The Weathertechs fit like a glove and tomorrow my Valentine One arrives (even though they said March). I just hope that there's enough room in the car for it.

I plan to lift car up and then slide some wheel cribs under the wheels to be 1000% safe, haha, but overall it's super stable.
Isn't that only 500% safe? For 1000%, I thought you needed to jack up each wheel individually to take the slack out of the suspension and then use a taller wheel crib under each corner.

Not exactly Wild Cherry Tintcoat, but close enough.

Driving the hell out of it. I'll be damned if a toy this fun is gonna sit.

Saw a blue ZLE that's wandering around my neck of the woods. Second time we've crossed paths.

Now's the time to act if you really want the ZL1. Dealers will give you a really good trade-in amount if you have something that they can really mark up. I know I complained a little about the $41K that the dealer gave me for my SS Sedan, but considering I paid $39K back in 2016 in the scheme of things I made out pretty good. I would've preferred to make closer to the $50K that I have seen the cars go for, but getting $2K more than what I paid new isn't a bad proposition. Just find a dealer that will sell at MSRP and go for it.

Just something to consider before you throw mods on it as you won't recover your money on those mods. I figure that your trade-in should be maybe $3k to $5K within the MSRP of a new one. I think the upgrade in tech for a new Camaro with 0 miles might make it something to consider. Good luck and congrats on paying it off!

I'm seriously considering it. The mods I have done are all cosmetic, easily reversible and I kept all the original parts that I changed.
