So - like I mentioned earlier the GM stock arm rest sucks!

There was a fathers day sale for the lid, and well I just happened to be waiting for a good deal - so I bought the lid and it came with a matching ebrake handle.

I was expecting 2 weeks to get these, but I got them in a week!



I'll be hopefully installing these this weekend.

Cant wait to trash the stock rubermaid center console lid!

Default Looking good

Love the updates. Just picked up a G8 myself this week, 2009.5 with 9,000 miles. I'd love to hear the exhaust if you have any video from the dyno.

Let me know.

Jonathan - this is the only dyno video that I have at the moment.... I can film some exhaust clips tomorrow if you'd like. Sorry for the crappy cell phone vid.

Dave - actually the z06 hoods are the same, the only z06 that is different is the Z06 Carbon edition - its a 100k Z06, it has the Zr1 brakes, side skirts and roof, and has a carbon fiber hood, that doesnt have the window cut out. But its made on the same line.

They are only making 500 of them, and well I'll pass...

Introducing: Project hangover....

I woke up early for work, had to work for about 2 hrs... then I started projects pimp my car, then pimp my garage.

Pimp my car....

I installed the console lid, as well as the ebrake handle today, took all of about 15 mins.

Heres a comparison pic of the stock lid on the right, DS Vettes on the left... look at the diff!


Heres the installed lid, and ebrake handle.



I have more pics, but the quality sucks. I need a real camera, or an 8 megapixel camera phone... lol.

Project pimp my garage...

I found some Gladiator garage shelves for sale at Sears for 90 a piece, these retail for 190 a pop. So I picked up 2 of them like 2 months ago. Now that the PT is over, I finally had time to put these up.

I got the racks a couple weeks ago, and I've had a Corvette racing banner for awhile now.

Heres some pics.

Measure once.... laying out the design w/ painters tape.


Laying out the left edge


Layed out the right side, installed the racks, then put up the shelf.


Installed the left side.


Alll done. Banner up, I think I might get another part of the track and cut it put it between the shelves.
Also, the blue tape below is where my work bench will go.


All finished up:

Not sure if this counts as an update or not...

FedEx dropped off this huge box...




Wonder whats in it....




I need to change the oil in the G8 soon, and well kind of getting sick of changing oil in the driveway - so I ordered these, I got these damn cheap off the net, and can't wait to test them out.

Oh and before someone says I'm being lazy - it takes 20 mins just to jack up the Corvette - that sumbitch is so low its a PITA to get it high enough to get jackstands under. So - to save time, and well also not screwing up the floor, I went w/ these.

(I feel like Chris Farley talking about warranties in Tommy Boy) LOL!

Project: Needs more Aero...

Found a group by for some Corvette ZR1 spoilers - I've been looking at these for a long time, and finally made a purchase.

After 6 weeks of waiting - its finally here....


Here its installed..

Spoiler looks good. When are you installing the Z06 wide body kit?
