Default few update on my camaro, pics-Update

got those new blinkers, white, i am realy pleased with them,

the headligth is not installed, it shows n the pic,


old vs new


i also installed a coil relocation kit, it was some trouble with the driver side, because i have a filet cone there, is it okey to have no breahter on the ither sde?





driver side under construction


the plan was to lay the wires behind the motor, but this will be better when i am still working on the car, its looks okey though i.m.o
the crappy phone camera makes it all lokks more dyrti then it realy is



installed, i had the left coilpack more to the left side, to make more space for the filter/ fillercap


tomorrows to-do


sold my gunmetal 18" z06's, and got those Zr1 wheels, the are a little damaged, but the plan is to fix them and powdercode 040black,
my new suspension is still in the box, the sooner i finish the motorwork, i will install sfc's tubular control arms, spohn swaybars, bilsteins/vogtland 1.2"drop

Looks good! The only thing that I don't like is how you can see the spark plug wires.. My thought for the coil relocation kit is to hide all that stuff so it cleans the engine bay up..

the left pack is in, finaly, and the filter is still there, the coilpack is very not straigth because of the filter, but this is the only way to run both
also layed the wires behind the coilpack, and fastened the coil-loom



and finished left side
