Your welcome for that discount! haha,

Last night I cleaned up my rear bumper and detinted the tail lights that the previous owner of the shell did. I hate tinted tails..

Today I installed my Garmin into my cubby and ran the wires and also started test fitting these Chargespeed carbonfiber sides. The carbon doesn't match my front lip so im not so sure I like it, but they do look amazing anyways, They are just tape right now, need to figure if I want to go ahead and install them today or not. Havent taken z side skirts off and I want to do that to install them..

I cut the cones out of the stock speakers with a dremel tool and reused the housings as spacers for the new speakers.
I even soldered the factory plugs to the new speakers so I could just plug it back to the orig harness...

That is a nice looking ZR. If there was an easy way to get a rollbar for one and keep the top, it would be straight perfection.

I did an oil change...put Valvoline DuraBlend synthetic blend in it, then replaced my air filter with a K&N Drop-in. My LFA (Legalized Financial Adviser...aka the WIFE) crucified me for the purchase, but after i told her i can wash/reuse it instead of buying a new one every 6 months she calmed down a bit lol.

Anyone ever see any gains with the drop-in? I've heard mixed opinion. Some say 1hp others say 7hp. Just curious...

I like that.
Is that plastidip or wrap?
I don't like when flat and glossy panels mix together, they look off but if you plan on doing the white as matte as well it might look great. But love the color combo

^^^ It is wrap. John would never plastiderp.

And it is a WIP, it's going to be all that satin light blue with the exception of the black roof

He originally wrapped his oem black in gloss white and now is wrapping over the white with the satin light blue (WRAPCEPTION)

Just fyi.
