Waiting for the G5 Carbon ZL1 Rear Diffuser should have it in a couple weeks. Once I have it in my hands I will order all the misc pieces to install it on the rear cover.

Very nice Marty!

Wait until you guys see the rear control arms, I would hang them on the wall for artwork.

Enough posting pics already lets get to work.

The quarter louvers look extremely plain compared to the rest of the car.... just sayin.

Why did the new Z/28 come in already :peepwall: :smiley_smack:

syborg tt 12-05-2014 11:27 AM

Just in case people don't think I actually use my car in the summer. Here are a few pics of it hauling my bike.

yes I was also just as muddy and thank God for the giant towel I found in the trunk as it kept my seat from getting covered in mud

Nope not yet I am actually holding out for the GT350 Track Edition. It's a much better looking car.

syborg tt 12-05-2014 01:57 PM

Quickly trying to catch this thread up.

The goal was to get all of these parts installed on the car prior to the Power Tour and with only a week to go and
working 60 - 70 hours a week I needed to call the Guys at Super Car Performance in Minooka, IL.

www.supercarperformance.com

I had already purchased the Sway Bars from them and they said if I ever needed anything to just call them so that is exactly
what I did. Scott and I talked for about 30 minutes to set up a game plan and a time for me to drop off the car. They had 5 days
to do all of the work and before Mike & I were going to leave on the Power Tour and they pulled it off with 1 day to spare.

Last piece of the puzzle was the cradle bushings and I was able to get these from a member on the Camaro5 board.

http://garagescene.net/gallery3/var/...%20%284%29.jpg

and these were going on but someone needed them for his car so I was kind enough to sell them mine.

syborg tt 12-09-2014 07:37 PM

The Guys at Super Car Performance (www.supercarperformance.com) wrapped up the installation of the JDP Remote Clutch
Slave Cylinder and it made a huge difference on the feel of the clutch pedal.

and of course the first day of school

http://garagescene.net/gallery3/var/...%20%281%29.JPG

since it was raining I decided I would wash the car before we left.

http://garagescene.net/gallery3/var/...%20%281%29.JPG

I can't tell you how happy I am with the guys at Super Car Performance they said they would get the work completed and they did and it was under budget on top of that.

I still owe you that pic of the undercarriage of my SS sedan - I'll get you that tomorrow. Life has been stupid crazy with work and trying to sell my house.

Thanks guys and trust me I understand about life getting crazy. One of my biggest accounts is moving the business to China. It's to bad because my other accounts are bringing stuff back from China and there sales are going through the roof.

Well, Rick these pics are for you as it seems I forgot to update this thread.


Installed a set of new wheels

syborg tt 05-21-2015 10:42 AM

Instead of buying a new car I decided to update the one I already have.

So the next step was to drop the car and all of the new Carbon parts that I received from Nathan (G5R) at Show Stoppers in St Charles, IL.

of course this hood is on my wish list.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...6ecdb649c2.jpg

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...d7fc958f30.jpg

One thing I really loved on the new Z28 is the Wickerbill.

Below are a few pics of the Aerosports Wickerbill on the Seibon Carbon Fiber ZL1 rear Spoiler

Test fitting the new rear diffuser.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...aefd81d250.jpg

Did I tell you guys how much I love this rear spoiler combo.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...377701f49c.jpg

My goal is to give the car a completely new look. In order to do that the stripes need to be removed from the hood, front fascia, deck lid and rear spoiler. Also it was an easy way to remove the chips from last years Power Tour.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...a79ec01f7b.jpg

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...77828c770b.jpg

I am also excited that I will be removing the mail slot block off plate.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...173262b2c2.jpg

and of course remove all of the factory ground effects. Anyone looking for a complete set they need a little work but the price is cheap ?

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...c1b149eb7d.jpg

syborg tt 05-21-2015 10:44 AM

mind you this is just a dry fit.

syborg tt 05-21-2015 10:45 AM

Since the front end is off I might as well install the JDP Motorsports tow hook.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...79e954a0db.jpg

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...99e25393ee.jpg

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...65cd347eff.jpg

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...d7f0e58e02.jpg

Next up painting the new Deck Lid

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...3f9e9c81a9.jpg

An easy high impact paint detail that changes the look of the front end.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...ac11d5a1e2.jpg

Last minute decision Nathan convinced me we need to go all the way and add the hood. I have a pretty cool idea for the new stripe and I can't wait to see it painted.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...3e099bd6cc.jpg

syborg tt 05-21-2015 10:46 AM

the rockers.........

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...10c3dd0b63.jpg

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...a971480ca9.jpg

Since the rear ground effects were glued on we decided to re-paint the rear cover.

Sneak peek of the front fascia

syborg tt 05-21-2015 10:47 AM

The rear cover is being re-sprayed because the GM ground effects where glued on and when Pete tried to remove
them we lost a little paint.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...ad031c9520.jpg

Then there is the hood and I looked at ton's of different stripes and I wanted something a little different then what everyone
else was doing. I hope you guys like the final picture as much as I do.

Stepping back

The Underside of the hood is finished to OE specs and the factory underhood insulation snaps right in.

The Autobots logo going byebye?

Car is looking great! I like the ZL1-esque front bumper treatment. The rear spoiler looks great along with the rest of the carbon.

What upper grille is that?

tubbed69 05-21-2015 12:59 PM

Very nice work Marty,I bet it's fun to drive:thumbsup:

bonecrrusher 05-21-2015 12:59 PM

Also forgot - nice MMR replicas!

They don't fit for **** on the G8.

A few guys are running them but honestly it just makes it look like the car has blingy dubs on them.

Thank you, The Transformer will be back for sure. If I took it off my daughter would kill me. The upper grille is actually a ZL1 grille and I had a true set of Z28 wheels but they stuck out to far. So the MRR28 wheels are the best option and I just love the look.

Thank you very much and I am going to pick it up in the morning. I am pretty stoked to say the least.

DavidBoren 05-21-2015 02:32 PM

Don't know if you and I are just odd balls, but I am right there with you on loving that spoiler/wicker-bill combo.

You did good on the stripe in bare carbon. Looks really good.

66fury 05-21-2015 02:57 PM

love the changes

z28cp 05-21-2015 03:27 PM

Very nice detail with the red pinstripe on the hood. :thumbsup:

I like the changes, Marty. Enjoy the new look!

glassman 05-21-2015 09:29 PM

Looking good Marty!! Now we need some finish pics...

omiotek 05-21-2015 11:30 PM

Looks great Marty. Sorry I've been mia with the bike stuff. I've been pulling 12 to 16 hour shifts for the last couple weeks. We need to go riding soon

glassman 05-22-2015 07:36 AM

btw, what all did you do to 2nd chance? rims, and ????

Still got the bike mount? I was gonna do a trunk mount for mine, but i tossed that idea, thinking about some boring roof (removable) Thule. Still would like a something at the trunk.

Al Moreno 05-22-2015 09:06 AM

Looks great Marty. Is it morning yet?
