Just thought to myself, three bad ass GM dovetail shots! Nice taste guys!

Best OEM spoiler option as far as I am concerned.

When I paint these on or off the cars, i mark off the parts I dont want painted with Vaseline- Paint where I want it without being worried about coverage and after it dries, I just wipe the Vaseline off and its all good An old pinstriper friend showed me this and it works for all the trim parts

I have the uncanny ability to turn a 4 hour project into a 4 day project and the trans fluid/filter job was no exception. Heads up to fellow V6 guys. Be sure and check the new pan gasket. The Wix kit has a 18 hole V8 gasket, even though the part number is for a V6. Our 6L50 transmissions have a 17 hole gasket. I found that out Monday at about 11:00 pm.

Went to my "real" auto parts store (Rieth in Mesa) and they hooked me up.

Greased all fitting besides rear sway bar, I will change out the fittings to a either 45 or 90 degree elbow one, should have done it before but didn't have the correct grease. Started to paint the front SS emblem , all I got left is fill the inside with black, probably using a syringe for it, don't know yet.
My Center Brace sits perfect

Damn man, everything looks great! Especially loving that rear license plate lol.
Sorry if I missed it, but what exhaust kit is that?

That's cool!! That is an "old school" trim painting thing I learned long ago from a friend of mine who was a paint and body guy.

As long as the fit, form and function are good, and it's stainless, great deal!! I paid 1400 for mine!! But I love it non the less!!
