I also received shipping confirmation on my new Clutch, SPEEDbleeder, and ARP Bolts. Can't wait to install that, along with the MGW Shifter!!
You'll love it!

I know this will sound like a dumb question, but I have to ask anyway..... Considering that my car, for the most part, is unmolested and all stock- will I really feel a difference when I install the Monster Level 2 Clutch and MGW Shifter?!

I have the Hurst Short Throw Shifter, which was a $325 option from the Factory, and personally, I always thought it shifted nice.... LOL. Granted, I've never missed a gear, or had issues getting it into gear.

I'm probably not the best to speak on this, my trans was beat to hell. The clutch will be a little firmer because of the new pressure plate. The MGW will be super notchy for the first few hundred miles or so then it gets really good. Do you already have a tick MC?

Yeah, I installed the Tick MC last fall when my original MC started to leak. I felt a drop on my foot one day, driving with flip flops. Just like the clutch, I debated months before finally pulling the trigger on that nice, little expensive, state of art, precision made MC. Man, was I glad I did!! Best upgrade thus far!!! LOL

I can confirm this. The combination of the stage 2, tick MC, and the MGW was the best purchased for my car. The clutch is grabby as hell. As for the MGW...break it in and never look back. Was pretty stiff and odd to find gears for awhile...but once it's worked and broken in it's easy. Rowin' gears all day!

Detailed the interior throughly (vacuumed every nook and cranny I could get into, wiped down interior plastics with meguiars and topped off with 303 aerospace protectant, used an old tooth brush and detail brush to get into the hard to reach areas then used meguiars carpet and upholstery cleaner on the carpets, seats, door panels and hatch). Removed the screws in the door handle, sanded them down and repainted them. Today the exterior is getting washed and waxed.

Put some more break-in miles on the thing. Right when I want to commute to work I'm working from home 60 more miles to go.

That LT1 Hockey Stripe seems to fit the body line of the car perfect. It looks gorgeous but I think the SS Emblems would interfere with it

I got the same setup, I love fat & wide (like I like a girls ***) lol! J/K-did you need to purchase summit wheel spacers? I did and had to roll the fenders and still rub slightly sometimes.

The stripe is one for 4th gen. I never was a fan of them but these were installed just perfect I think. Now that I have them I wouldn't get rid of them*
