camaro got alot of goodies been doing mods to the camaro lately and have been neglecting the truck since its summer and drag racing in the summer here sucks
anywho , started by removing the vinyl stripes which began to look like ish since its parked outside alot . i also sold my old wheels and got a set of fikse forged 2 piece wheels , 17 x 9.5 front and 17 x 11 rears with some brand new good year gsd3's the quality of the wheels is insane i posted a picture of the backside of the wheel in the spoke where its been lightened by hollowing the spoke out.
i also installed a line lock to heat the rear et mt streets i have on the stock wheels( 275/40/17) which i have been driving on for the past 3 weeks
a friend and i also painted some of the interior plastic mettalic dark blue while i did the line lock .
Since i had the brake system opened i deceided to go ahead and have some SS lines made, i had them use blue covering instead of clear( anyone interested in SS lines for their trucks i can have them made in almost any color )
here you can see the led when the line lock is armed
and here is the hardlined line lock on the driver side fender well( notice the kooks headers)
i also painted the calipers with g2 epoxy which leave a powercoat like finish that has good durability , with some logos'( here you see the blue ss brake lines and koni/strano shocks and springs)
and some final shots with the durty girl herself
here you can see the sub frame connectors ( under rockers) used to stiffen up the unibody frame to help with less chassis flex)
also installed kooks SS lt' headers with ory and magnaflow catback , it is actually quiter now with no cats than it was with the mani's and the slp loudmouth 1. but at wot it sounds kind of mean . but needs more .
i also have a nice power adder coming but its nothing real crazy , ill be installing it later but just trying to peice it all together. its not FI or nitrous this car must retain reliablity and look stock . but should make some decent power.

i thought i should but wasnt 100% necessary , i had tt2's with the same tires before and never once had an issue.
so the fender roller is on the way and well the gsd3 is no where to be found .
so looks like i am going to have to settle for some sumi's until they can be found. im just pissed i had to ruin a perfectly good obsolete tire.

There's something familiar about this picture of your car:
Maybe it's because it looks a lot like this picture of my car:
Sorry to see that you killed your tires already. A heat gun and a fender roller will keep that from happening again.
Nice car, though!
