Had a couple 180s left and made these



Saved a few $$$

... They'll look better when I'm done polishing them. It was 12 when I finished them, didn't want to work through the night.

Here's a couple pics of them polished.








Also, I'm getting ready to wire up my neutral safety and have a question. One, what switch do you guys use? A regular GM switch won't work, I tried.
And two, the start wire from my ignition is a switched ground wire, how do I go about wiring it?

Thanks

Cut the tips to be staggered and equal lengths from the diffuser. Purged it and welded it.





(that's not all there is to it, just what I got a picture of)

As far as I know it's factory 09 vette accessories.

Here's a pic of the number off the pump.

Thanks. Purging is time consuming, and most don't know what it is, and some don't see the point. But I think it makes all the difference.

Very nice. E39 is one of the best looking cars out there IMO.

I loved my '97 540i, but I hated the M62 engine.

So I finally got something done.





Still didn't get the front brakes on, the pads I ordered are the wrong ones.
