I'm back from vacation and it's windy as hell, but I decided to wrap a couple pieces of dash trim from my car, and also the back to my steering wheel finally.

Thanks man. I wish I could go into the junkyard here for some more sets of dash trim, but I can't. I guess it's something in the dirt maybe? I went there and my legs broke out super bad and were sore. I need a minion to go get more for me lol. I just have one set. I'm working on my radio bezel but I effed it up and the direction is the opposite way the other ones will be. Oh well.

I may have an interesting proposal for you soon. What kind of carbon would you want if I did a set? White? Regular? The wasp nest stuff?

For the hell of it I used some leftover resin and started skinning my rear headrest covers. Well one of them at least.

I haven't really used any yellow Kevlar yet. The pics of it I've seen don't impress me. I may need to try it out though. For now I'm just trying to get back in practice after being sick so long lol. I have a spare set of dash trim I may do. I'm trying to get the hang of adhering the carbon to the parts without it warping too much. What better victim than my own trim?

So what did I do to my car today? I started hating it lol. The seats are nowhere near as comfy as the Mustang rental I had. I feel like I'm sitting on a waffle in my car. The rattles and noises are starting to get on my nerves. The car has 150k. And now the car feels soooooooooooo slow.


I need to start appreciating the car before I end up buying a new one. I may do something drastic when the 50th Anniversary Camaro comes out in 2017. But for now I started working on a set of blue dash trim and experimented with a different way of doing things which seems to work WAY better. Here's the before. I'll give an after when it's done:

Over the weekend I installed option B, dual pass, zzp heat exchanger, changed crank position sensor, pcv valve, drained and replaced supercharger oil and swapped out the coupler.
