    I really should get my bumper down to you.
    Bam has money to replace his entire lambo. Multiple times.

    The amount of money I could dump into a dash swap, ttop swap, front end conversion and lsx swap. I could of just bought a 98-02.

    Huh? Swapping the motor?
    If so, yes its crossed my mind but I have a lot of researching to do before that. Plus if I go that far. It's gonna be another snowball effect. Oh, need an ls1 k member? My as well do tubular, as well as upper and lower a arms. New steering rack, ball joints, tie rod ends. Paint the engine bay. I'd need new longtubes too. Ls1 radiator. Tons of extra stuff. It just goes on.

    honestly I'll probably just driving the shit out of it, maybe a ttop conversion, dash swap and see how long that holds me over.

    Another pic of my tail panel and Nicks. [MENTION=2227]white97z28[/MENTION]



    I dont remember if I posted that I yanked the prom to be sent back to pcmforless. Had them swap it to a manual tune as well as desensitize my knock sensor. I should be getting it back soon.

    I still haven't tackled the wiper motor.

    Once I get nicks bumpers painted I'll be taking my rear bumper in to repaint it.

    I have been thinking of doing a ttop swap. It's been done. I have all of the resources (body shop).... Only thing I'm missing
    Is the balls to cut my roof.

    They probably could. I do like the 98-02 style better though.

    If you look closely there is some dirt in the reverse lense. Not really an issue but is there.



    I got the bumper off as well as the berger panel.



    Can you get a new seal for the hatch?

    I did my own tuning. My idle is set at 650 but... On the down low it idles at 700 because i have a small vacuum leak i overlooked when i was tuning it.


    What was wrong with your taillights?

    My car is already tuned by them Nate. They said they usually do desensitized the knock module but it can still pick up a false knock.

    Iirc I though Joel had them drop his idle [MENTION=254]JoeliusZ28[/MENTION]

    I'm currently pulling the rear bumper off. It has some flaws that I'm not happy with. Also I'm going to paint my "camaro" panel letters black. Then re clear over it.

    I picked up some new tails came with the pigtails too. Now just debating on lightly tinting them or just clearing them.

    As for lowering it. I'll definitely be doing it. I doubt the car will sell.

    What backspacing are 10 spokes? Would a 30 or 38mm backspace look normal?

    I personally would not lower the car any further if you are serious about selling it.

    I would let them do what they do normally.

    They have done so many LT1's they have it down to a production line.

    I have been really happy with both of my mail order tunes.

    to answer your question, I would have them change it to the factory M6 tune. You may also want to ditch VATS(if you can), and skip shift (if you can)
