  • found a harness on eBay so I can run all the functions of my Eclipse unit I might even run a backup camera if I can find a small color/night vision unit that I can hide somewhere in the back.

    • This is that REALLY dirty/pitted rim that I compared the other dirty rim to...this one has yet to be polished. I want to find some 2000 before I hit it with compound, not sure if I have any around though.

      • No 2000 in the garage so I went to the Mothers Aluminum Polish and the mini-ball. I'm not sure what I like better - scuffed, sanded to 1500, or polished. The picture above is at 1500 grit, picture below shows scuffed (green scotch-brite) on the left, right is obviously the polished. Maybe I'll just have them coated and not deal with it

          • i think the scuffed looks the best.. gives it a brushed look that looks good

              I was thinking the same. I need to wait until my center caps show up before I decide though.

                      There are only two bolts up top IIRC, the bottom fits into a channel. They have them at mount to the top bolts, I just don't know how crappy it would look.

                      2 hr/wheel is a realistic limit.

                            • I need to keep maintenance in mind. The Camaro isn't a show car or just a weekend warrior, I'd hate to constantly have to polish these things. Teflon sounds nice...just hit 'em with a hose and call it a day

                              • Nasty fender. One shitty job for sure.


                                Test fit the wheel, I will need to use two of the 1" spacers up front instead of the 1.5". 275's going up front, 295's for the rear.


                                Anyone know where I can get the bracket for a convertible fender? This probably doesn't look anything like a hardtop/t top car.
