Travis it's super easy to remove the tail lights. Open hatch. There will be 3 plastic tabs you pop up and you'll see three 10mm bolts you'll have to remove. When removing it carefully pull it out or else you'll easily break the tabs. Here's link that show pictures.

I dont have personal experience with them, but cobb tuning in Plano would probably do you right.

PRT performance is really familiar with the Z - i don't think COBB cares about the Z any more -

Dude1312, have you been tuned before ? And do you own the license for a Tune software like UpRev or something else ? Just curious ?

Hmm, the ones I got are pre-cut....but if they are the same ones as your nephew then I might not want to put it on.

I'll have to show them to you.

Yesterday's event was a blast! We had a good turn out and the course was fun, especially on that surface. As always, it was good seeing the old faces and it was nice to see some new ones.

Anyway, here's a vid of a few of my laps:

Chris I like your driving Style ! You are a bit smoother than me around the corners.

Here is the fastest run of the day for me....which just happened to be my 8th run. After sitting there for over 30 mins after the 5th run (1st run for afternoon) my tires cooled down and I figured I only had 3 laps to beat out Chris P. for 1st....But I got first on that next lap and actually improved to a 57.600 for my fastest time.

Here is my combo video from inside the car and front windshield.

Travis it wasn't really quick for speed....but there were a lot of big 180º turns that eat your lunch for time.....you had to be really quick and accurate in the slaloms & chicanes.

Here is the Results for class 2

any course layouts to look at to compare with those times? ^^ -- exciting stuff - i'm interested to see how i do with zig zagging cones - i think i might be ok at 180's, although not common accept for around town because i'm always lost lol but turns that don't allow an apex are weird - even on road courses - typically requiring you to go straight to the edge of the track and turn in and line up for the next turn - the blimpyard in houston has some turns like that all over the place -
