Just got my KY Stage 3 clutch installed so that my 2.4 can handle this turbo. The stocker was slipping wayyyy to much.

Dropped the car off at the dealership for that 3rd steering column. In process of installing the column I requested the parking brake to be tightened up which in process of that they found out rear caliper wasn't working so they ordered a new one. Should be done around 4pm... lol I'm so not excited for bumper-to-bumper to end in a couple of months :-(

I'm not going to claim it, nah. Couple hundred bucks. Not worth the aggravation of using insurance.

The CF lip looks great.

They did a nice job on my car. You would never know the door had been hit.

Pics/link or it didn't happen.

And an old Econoline hit my driver's side door/rear quarter this afternoon while backing out of their spot and cutting the wheel too far to the left... The old lady left, but someone got her info... so I called it in to my insurance (about 6" by 6" dent that goes from my door handle towards the back of the car... Dented it in pretty good.

Guess what? The lady showed up with her insurance 40 minutes later as I was waiting for cops. I didn't push for the "hit and run" thing... she says had to drop off her daughter at the bus stop and then came back hoping I'd be there....

Not sure I buy that story, but whatever, at least she came back. Insurance will take care of it completely. Going to get an estimate at my local Chevy dealer's body shop tomorrow.

pics of before and after?

I got my car from the dealership, new steering column and a new rear caliper... brakes and clutch feel better so I'm guessing they bled the system. Now got to get around to paint matching that new rear caliper red with the rest lol it's silver now

Plastidipped my back emblem and badges. Also did the side SS Supercharged but it was too dark to see it in pics. Tomorrow morning I will be doing the front plastic grille (until i can buy a non POS one) and the front emblem.

Pretty darn satisfied with my first PlastiDip experience.

Next up is smoked taillights and downpipe.
