What did you do to your 6th Gen Camaro today?! - Page 541

Clam · 10-14-2019, 09:03 PM

Installed TSW Bathurst 19x10.5 +27 w/ 305/30/19 Bridgestone RE-71R Square. Front wheels needed at least a 6 mm spacer to clear the front strut on the 1SS Non-MRC with stock camber.

Can anyone point me in the direction of (whatever they are called) the bumper air deflector things here?

These are called "canards" or "dive planes", and there are several aftermarket replicas for the 6th gen SS and the regular ZL1. These ones in the pic look like the ACS Composite version to me.

Added Foose Impala wheels and factory spec Conti's in the staggered SS setup (apologies for the dirty car pictures!)

Had 18-NA-355 performed at the dealership, which concludes the transmission work I ever plan to have done on my car. No complaints at all so far.

The tech also installed my dark rear reflectors for me as a courtesy (because I simply couldn't access the mounting screw with my limited set of tools, thanks to the placement of the suitcase muffler and the rear impact bar).

I wish everyone a dealership experience like mine, these people still go out of their way to help me in every way even now, 20 months after purchasing the car.

Awesome! did you notice that the new fluid shifts different on the SS? it felt different on my RS.

Got some striping done on my Crush ZL1, then did some serious detailing to both of my garage queens! Poor pictures, I’ll get some better ones this afternoon.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone try the ghost stripe thing on Crush. I’m sure it isn’t for everyone, but I’m pleased with the look.

I think the stripe looks pretty good. Agree, not for everyone but I like it.

That other car looks like about a 1952 Mercury. Is that right? Looks good.

did you paint them or are they vinyl?

Warrior102 · 10-19-2019, 03:30 PM

Swapped my Alcantara steering wheel and shift boot to leather on my 1LE, I already did the shift knob awhile back. Purchased the boot from Wildhammer and the wheel from another member here that went the other direction. It was one of those jobs you wish you never started when you get into it, stress was on high.
Once you get past the removing of the airbag and the impossible connectors, GM used super glue for locktite on the mounting bolt. As the battery is disconnected (airbag) the wheels not locked so thats not helpful, first up a T50 and a 12" ratchet, next an impact screwdriver and hammer, next up a Milwaukee M18 1/2" impact and finally a Snap-On 1/2" pneumatic impact and it finally moved..a bit.
That bolt fought me all the way off. Then when I was pulling the wheel off it was binding and then suddenly released pulling the air bag wiring and cover off the clock spring housing and dumping the ribbon cables out, WTF!

I managed to rewind them and get it back together...

I was out tooling around and I like it much better, looks better IMHO to.
That was my morning, I had a set of MSD Superconductor wires to install but decided I had enough excitement for the day.

Cruised around the scenic WNY countryside!

Thanks and you’re almost right on, she’s a 53.

My grandfather got her new, I’m the 3rd generation in my family to own her. I know it’s a Camaro forum, but figured she was worthy as long as my Camaro was beside her.
