I am on the fence between DSE and the Tiger Cage. Please take lots of pictures, including how the bars fit in the trunk, and connect to the package tray. Both are done in my car, so I want to see what I need to modify.

Also the inner fenders, did you have to pull your outer fenders to install the new inners? I too want to get 275s up front.

Thanks
Sure Mike, I'll take lots of pictures of the cage install and post them here. I had the same line of thinking about rear seat functionality as you do when I decided to go with it. As for the fender question, because of everything I was changing in the front end(core support also), I basically had to disassemble the whole front end, including pulling the outer fenders. I've heard you can change the inner fenders without pulling the outers, but it's supposedly not simple to do and most people said you should pull the outers if you want to avoid trouble. Carbon will scratch easy so I think it might be best to go the safe route, but I'd definitely do some more research on that innner fender removal/install process. I think there are some other threads on TeamCamaro and other sites that debate that same question.

Chris, yes!

Love your planning methods... and you don't follow down the paths of others unless you are convicted in it.... I can't always say that about myself and most others...

I definitely would tread lightly with that SS700 Keisler deal.... esp after the way the RS600 fiasco went.... but I know you are monitoring it.

Goal for timeframe for completion?

I'm passing the torch, buddy. You are methodical in your planning and execution. I'm really liking your decisions and sticking to your guns on what you want. That ZL-1 with injection is going to be sweet! I'll miss my engine more than anything when my car goes down the road.

I really hate to say it, but that car needs a mini tub. Those 275's don't have a chance in hell.

Hey I am pretty sure I read you preaching setting goals in the Healthy 101 thread.... not transferable here?

Oh, and I am only Senior when compared to Spiffa.
