I always liked the gray vette rims, they look great on your car.

Appreciate the compliment.

Please excuse how dirty the car is. It's covered in dust and hand prints from the gear swap. But it's a nice day out and wanted to drive her after I got off of location for the day. Even made a new list of things to do in the coming weeks. Sorry for the crappy pics.

Amen to that. Every time I remove a piece, or look in a new spot, I find something that isn't up to my standard. lol

I finally got the car looking how I like, and then I get under the car for the gear swap. Then I find all kinds of nasty things lol. So next up is exhaust.

I have pacesetter LTs with a 3" ORY. But I need to get myself an EGR block off kit before I can put those on. I have magnaflow on the car now, but it's in rough shape. Im in search og a GMMG, but cant seen to find one for a good price. So thats undecided. But i am going with corsa clone tips.

I have some short tube headers on now with a hacked up and leaking y-pipe, and I don't like the set up at all. I've never put exhaust on before, so i'm not sure if I should give it a shot, or just take it somewhere and pay to get it all put on once and properly.

I've always heard headers are easier to put in when the motors out and its damn near impossible to put them in and them line up right with the motor in so I've never tried...it'd be a nightmare in our cars especially cause of the tight spacing...I'd say if the funds are there have someone else do it but that's my opinion

heard the passenger side was easy, but the driver was a bit of a pain. Who knows. I hate having shops install custom parts and have to explain to them how I want things done. lol

I don't like shops doing anything for me period...I'm to paranoid about them messing my car up or not doing the job right lol I had a trans rebuilt a few years ago and they left a bolt out of the bellhousing when they did it but didn't find that out till a couple years later when I rebuilt my first motor...that's why I try to do things on my own lol
