Unrelated to the car, but just noticed the issues with Photobucket. Luckily, this is a new thread and I can take some time later to repost/link the photos.
What's terrible is that majority of the threads, mainly DIY's, are now useless. I'm happy that I converted my last cars PL into a pdf. #memories
(I would appreciate it if there were no more replies about photobucket, image hosting, etc. Would like to keep this thread free of clutter. Thanks.)

Fixed the pictures! Switched to Imgur. Not a big fan of how it works, but at least the 3rd party hosting works.

Managed to wash and wax last weekend.

Started this project earlier this week. Have yet to finish it since Monday to Friday the V stays at my office, and I drive my daily Impala. Might finish tomorrow.

Finished the fogs and put them back in.
For the savings, I'm happy with them. This cost me less than $60 vs spending $300. Although, I still need to buy clear side markers, but can only find two different listings, and they're both $100 by the time they're at my door.

Well, my bumper doesn't have holes for a front plate, and I've been meaning to make some sort of bracket. Today, i was pulled over and ticketed for not having a front plate. Decided to ziptie it on until I get around to mounting it.

Had my meeting with a prosecutor yesterday, the no front plate ticket was dropped. I had one of my friends fab up a plate mount for me, similar to the Creative Steel one, but for less than half the price.
I'll get around to mounting it within the next week...
Nothing exciting, but wired in a 3rd 12v outlet for my dash cam. Tapped into the hvac harness so that it wasn't getting constant power. When the car is off, the dash cam shuts down.
Picked up an almost new set of Indy 500's in 255/40 squared. Had them mounted today.
And here's a random picture dump.

Fall update:
The V made it to Ocean City, MD at the end of September for H2Oi.
Managed to pick up a base CTS centre console. Well worth the $15, it's more comfortable when driving and the extra storage is nice.
Random Fall pic
I also bought a few things..
The V has been parked for a month now, having withdrawals. Still want to pick up an LS7 clutch. Hoping to put everything in in the Spring.

Nothing exciting. Waiting for winter to end. Got around to pulling the filter, which was very black.
Bought a flip key. Surprisingly nice quality and finish.

Ordered a few things, here is what's come:
- NGK TR55's
- AC Delco waterpump gasket x2
- AC Delco crank seal
Put the V back on the road yesterday. Washed, clay barred, polished hood and trunk, waxed. So much easier on a lift vs crouching the whole time.
Pulled the wing off, the clear started to peel really bad after I bought the car. Dropped it off to get repainted.
Didn't want to get wax where I'll need to mount it. Plus, this will help with the holes in case it rains.
