Haven't really posted any pics of my car. Took a bunch today, since I was bored. Time for a good spring cleaning/wax. ENJOY!

 

NIce...

Off topic....Where in PA are you from?

 

Nice! That hood looks great..

 

you sold ur AAM catback to get the thermal! LIER!
Lol jk man.
Hey I love how it looks man. also, do you notice the difference in weight? When I had my focus it felt like a picked up a couple of lbs of TQ because of the pounds I shaved. Does it feel that way with you ss.sc.

 

lookin real good

is that a custom catback or does Thermal make one for us now??

any vids or sound clips?

 

Now I know what my car will look like come next week in the front!

Very nice bro looks hot!

 

^^^LMAO! Coming from the guy who was getting an EVO, so he had to sell his car and AAM cat back. Ends up getting a Magnaflow, and more stuff to date. Don't think I really noticed the car being lighter, maybe a hair on the butt dyno.

I had the stock on for awhile but, I wanted something that was still quiet but had better flow. So I went with the Ion Redline Thermal cat back.

It had to be shortened to fit nicely in rear bumper, and two hangers were modified. Sounds INCREDIBLE!!! Hands down the smoothest, meanest sounding exhaust for the SS yet! Similar to the distinct 3" AAM sound, but not near as loud. Thermal also had a silencer pre installed. I didn't even know til a day after it was on my car, lol. Boy did I feel stupid when I removed it, sounded phenomenal!

So Thermal R&D does not make a SS specific catback yet, Hopefully they will in the future!

Thanks for the compliments!!!

 

so are you planning on painting the trunk? looks slightly wierd with the carbon fiber trunk and no carbon fiber hood

i do like the wingless look though...

 

One More.

 

May eventually paint, no rush as of now. I just wanted to be rid of those holes and dents in the original lid. I don't mind the CF sticking out, I actually grew to like it. Although I know it looks odd. I'm looking to spend my money on some Stage2 goodness next. Then I may have my rear bumper, hood, and trunk all painted. As they all need it for different reasons.

 

looking good. that cf trunk looks hot.

 

Thanks DC52NV!

Some like it, some don't.

 

Looks awesome man! The hood looks great.

Let me know if you are still getting those coilovers!

 

looks good man nice job!

 

yeah, can't please everyone. some people don't like my cf hood and lip but as long as you like your trunk then that's all that matters.

 

omg i LOVE that car! i def want that trunk!

 

perfection as it stands man awesome job
i like the trunk like that, it looks sweet

 

Thanks a lot for all the compliments!

Mercury, I spent my nest egg on some of the stuff you see here lol. So I don't see me buying Bilsteins any time soon, sorry.

 

do you have a link to where we can check out that exhaust? if you can get sound clips, that'd be awesome.

 

The car looks great. The only question I have is why does the driver's sid of the hood look raised up higher than the other side?

 

That is great fitment on the carbon fiber trunk. Really flows well.

 

DUDE WTF!!!??? i am so jealous of the cf trunk lid. Why is that you got yours shaved w/o the lock on the trunk? I got an ugly key latch on mine. . im kinda disapointed now.

 

Hood still needs to be fine tuned. Since its coming off soon, I wasn't worried about getting it perfect just yet.

It arrived damaged, stupid ABF Freight!
It was already painted red, it was the hood off of RK Sports show car. It arrived cracked in a small spot underneath, and spiderwebbed the paint on top in a small area. If it wasn't for that I would've had a perfectly matched hood ready to install, end of story. Now I have to have it fixed, sucks!

Gravana sells lids with locks and third brake light, is that where you ordered yours from?

 

does the trunk just bolt on easily or was it a pain? and where did you get it i want a shaved one like that versus the gravana one

 

looks good , nice job. i would have gone w/ carbon fiber trunk, in that style. would look ssexxy. but none the less nice.
