TECH has a DIY thread on how to do that. I'll see if I can't find it and PM it. Same SN over there, Jay?

Doom lens?

Actually really confused me, but did you mean dome?
Just use a flathead screwdriver, insert it into the outer edge of the clear light plastic, and gently pry the clear lens down. It'll pop out and you can take it out the rest of the way with your fingers.

Taking a 20ft trailer up the tail of the dragon is a bad idea. Ask Dave. And for to much hp what does that mean. There are plenty of guys with the same hp and more driving their cars to z dayz.

You can never have enough HP...lol

There are many that are way above 500rwhp.

They compete in some competitions.


Is the Top Dawg competition happening again this year?

Lol, I think you misunderstood me I would trailer the Z to NC then unload. I can tow all day long(reliable GMC). I don't fell comfortable driving my Z longer then say 400 miles a day, with the current setting. A trailer is good security to have, don't have do deal with a shady garage if any thing goes wrong.

Whoa, put the six shooters down I am not stating my**** is longer. I personally don't fell comfortable driving 2,400 miles with my current boost settings. I know probably 75% of cars on the PowerTour have more hp then me but they also have more money and resource's. Sorry my comprehension is less then desirable, I should have reworded my previous statement. I don't want to start who has what, not my intentions. Can't we all just be friends, if not I will leave 2 contentious black lines in front of you're house, ya that's right I said "contentious"

I've always thought that trailering the Z to NC would be a good idea, but then I'd miss all the fun of driving it down there.

I think I might have a problem. I sent out my Crawford plenum to a guy on or about Feb 15 and haven't heard back at all. He seems to have fallen off the radar grid.

I can always offer my assistance of putting some miles on for you.

Damn, Dave. Who'd you send it to? Give him a call and check up on it. 16 days left.
