<Project> 2000 Trans Am

Right, might as well. It was nice to just do it all at once. That and the ENTIRE car received a full polish when it was finished. When I first started thinking about removing them I was worried about discoloration, but that didn't matter once we decided to paint it "the right way"

lol, you are wayy too worried about the little things. many people remove them with zero problems the paint does not come with them nor is it discolored, unless the car is super beat up and the paint is peeling or severely faded already. The one concern I would have is if someone else had the car repainted and they were too lazy to take the moldings off.

ive done several molding removals with 0 discoloration. Any evidence of them is typically erased in a few seconds effort with a buffer. Factory paint usually isnt susecptable to sunfade, which is the one uncorrectable thing you have to worry about assuming the paint isnt in a beyond repairable condition.

this happened on my car its not very noticeable but it bothers me.

Haha anytime Larry And thank you!

So you're putting 369 to the tires huh? Not too shabby

Just need... tires, drag suspension setup, N20 and bunch of other stuff to catch up to ya.

Funny thing is, I wish my car ran 12.20s like everyone else's on this site I guess we won't know until I get to a track. My guess would be mid 12's after I get settled in?

My car on 18's with Dr's ran 13.30's.. suspension brought me down into the high 12's, 15" rims with MT ET streets dropped me to 12.12.... But you're an M6, so what do I know.. And for me, it's just all good fun..

[Lucky SOB]

And for me, it's just all good fun..

Absolutely how I feel also. I can't wait to make a pass down the 1320 ...probably gonna just be a smokeshow

[ThreeHonks]

Unless I am missing something it looks like we have very similiar mods, with ZERO traction (bald f1s and cold weather) mine ran 13.1, I'd say 12.7 since you have a manual and if you have sticky tires.

Pretty much what I had in mind... Just an LS1 with headers and a tune good for 350 wheel
