Didn't dip these though I did consider it. Went with a baked VHT high temp coating. I really like their burnt copper. It will get a more natural look after a few heat cycles too.

Blower assembled, will just need to be clocked once my air to air kit shows up. The charge pipe and Tial will need Get the same treatment as well.

Must have been "Wash Your Z Day."

My wife helped me wash mine, but I'd bet vast sums that onzedge's assistant did a better job with less complaining and took supervision far better

Ok, so I ended up exposing the Stillen logo. Guess there was a bug in my ear lol.
I didn't want it to stand out but certainly looks much more finished this way

Looks fantastic! Now if only it said "Topgunz" or something instead so you didn't have to rep Stillen after gutting their kit =)

Did the same on Saturday...actually clayed the car first and then applied nice coat of paste wax!!! Damn, it's now smoother than a babies behind.

It won't be the same by the time we roll into Fontana on Wednesday, but at least it looks good today

Going to the drag strip on Friday against my friend in his 2010 SS Camaro. Lowering tire PSI while hot, going to play with launch control to figure out the best RPM to set off at, and for ***** and giggles I'm going to run 105 octane. Anyone have any advice on what else to do?

Remove anything that is reasonably removable to save weight (floormats, spare tire, skip breakfast?). The land speed racers put painters tape on all the panels gaps to reduce drag.
