Sorry Marty... :lol:

Thanks guys! I appreciate the compliments. I was kind of struggling on wheel choices, but I have always liked the clean look of Ronals when they came on the Pontiac Firehawk back in the 90's. I wanted to go with an 18" rim though and when I found Hawk's had the R15s in a 18x10 size, and made especially for the Third Gen platform with correct backspacing, I had to go with them. :thumbsup:

I’ve been wanting to upgrade my headlights, but still wanted to retain the factory appearance. After some research, I decided on Vision X. These are the same headlights Detroit Speed used on their 3rd Gen Camaro aka DSE-Z. I reached out to them awhile back to find out which headlights they used on their build.

New Vision X halogen in sealed beam housing. Definitely a significant difference and much improvement for night driving.

It's those little things like changing the seat belts out that really help give the interior a clean look. Plus, the added safety of it all of course. Good work on the headlights, too!

Swapping out the KYB shocks/struts with new adjustable Koni yellows.

Old silver colored KYB compared to the Koni. This will be a long awaited upgrade.

Koni shocks/struts are installed.

Now if the rain would clear out so I can take the Camaro out for a drive.

Had to remove the intermediate shaft to replace the steering coupler. I refinished and painted the shaft, turned out really good. Camaro drives so much better with the new steering coupler. Also installed a new power steering pump. The difference the new coupler made was incredible and had me asking myself why I hadn’t replaced it years ago.

Old and extremely worn out coupler. Not sure why I hadn’t replaced this much earlier.
