Thank you guys.
Since I saw the first time the 1LE rims on Heath Camaro I am on the fence but the OEM’s cost about 9000€ The MRR 17 could be a good alternative but very difficult to get them legally on. And our 50th rims are also awesome. So for the time being I stick with our 50th rims and look for other small mods.

As for cosmetic mods, I really need to get a good nighttime shot with the side markers and the black glow tie. Maybe a project for this weekend.

Smoked Diode Dynamics’ Side Markers and GM Windscreen

I don’t think that the BCU is different. Just the harness. I.e. we have less wires coming from the BCU drivers side to the front. There are no cables for the DRL’s or side marker. The same on the back. We have our turning light where you have the reverse light. If you re-route the cable, it is done as you have the turning light including brake light.

Hey guys, I would really appreciate some help, I’ve got those terrible water spots on the hood matte vinyl from few days ago and I don’t know what I can use to remove them.. i know the white vinegar helps removing them from the paint, but i don’t know about the vinyl decals.

Any advice would be very helpful

Got some powerstop rotors installed recently and I have a weird scenario happening that makes no sense to me.

To make things odder, if I go in my driveway there's a big bump and I've tried to make it reproduce it there but it won't do it. Guess because the car is barely moving.



Any ideas? This one has me puzzled?



Going to bring it back to Chevy once this COVID-19 thing is over since they installed them but it's driving my crazy right now.

I don’t have a good answer other the only thing that has changed is the rotors.

Could be issue with the brake system, or something else that was done while it was up in the air.

Brakes are a weak area for me.

Yours is severe. I’ve found polishing compound used SPARINGLY, will help.

There are a few other methods that I can’t recall at the moment.

Also getting a matte vinyl cleaner/detailer helps. Chemical Guys and Adams Polishes make one.

60 degrees + sunny = joy ride with appropriate social distancing.

Took a drive to Belle Isle and took a few beauty shots...

I used a special matte wrap cleaner. I forgot the brand but can have a look tomorrow. My hood looked exactly the same. After the treatment it looked like that.

I’ve talked to him via text messages recently. He and his family is good. Just a lot going on and has taken a break from social media.
