Immediate mods on receiving

Tuner2muscle · 04-04-2018, 11:31 PM

Ordered a 2018 LS 1LE..... early June delivery... hopefully, but as a JDM Tuner (soon to be former) holic... I wanna do some mods as soon as I get the car:

Side skirts
Lowering springs
spacers
and... I don't like the blade spoiler.. prefer the the 3 post pedestal...
and I want to wrap the hood, side skirts and new spoiler in CF

Thoughts...views..opinions appreciated.

Total muscle car noob here btw...

Whats the reason for spacers? I personally thing the tires/wheels look fine at their stock offset. I'm assuming for just a more aggressive look?

I'm not a fan of lowering cars (even though it looks better a bit lower) but that's just me.

I'm sure you could find someone on here wanting to swap trunks with you for that blade spoiler. Although I'm not sure how difficult it is to get the two end parts off of the body itself. Couldn't be too difficult.

As far as carbon fiber wrapping the parts. Would probably look pretty good.

You can only do about a 5mm spacer....anymore and you are looking at replacing studs.
Stance is aggressive as it is.
Springs are alright. But be aware that the Magnetic ride control might be effected.

What color is your car?

Springs and spacers for stance....hate wheel gap and tuck. Would 5mm bring the tire in line with fender?
Would changing the spoiler require any drilling?
Car will be summit white and non MRC

So.. She's ready.. the mods I planned on doing are done... finally!!!

List:
aFe lowering springs - 1" drop all around, did exactly what I wanted, love it, full endorsement of the aFe product!!

American Authority ZL1 side skirts... wrapped in 3M Carbon Fibre.. brilliant product, perfect fitment, no issues!!

AA smoked LED side markers.. great products

GM ZL1 rear spoiler - also wrapped in 3M CF, issue here was it left 7 holes exposed from where the blade spoiler was, have plugs in the holes now but need a better fix...working on it.

Re-wrapped hood in 3M CF as well as engine bay in black and white CF and door sill in white... looks icy AF..... special shout out to Shaun at Wrap-tec in Chatham ON!!

Re-painted the calipers in proper Brembo red with decals (why would GM put it in grey is beyond me) red looks sick...

Adaptec 20mm spacers all round bringing the stance like a mofo... she sits squat now, lovin it!!

This is exactly what I was looking / hoping for with the car. Just gonna kick back now admire and enjoy til the bug to muck with it kicks in again..in 2019!!

6 or 8 its your car, looks awesome. Maybe a CAI, fuel door, and a custom engine cover could be next?

Tuner2muscle · 08-01-2018, 09:42 PM
