Dude. How did you fit a deer under there? I tried to straddle a dead cat in the road that popped up all the sudden and bumpity bump it went rolling out the back... poor kitty.

 

I have no idea. I was rolling to a red light maybe going 20, and the car in front of me straddled it and there was nothing I could do. I came up out of my seat, somehow it didn't damage front bumper or my diffuser, although there is hair stuck to both.

 

You in your slammed car.. ran over a deer? I hit a crow once that I guess didn't see me and it scared the @#$% out of me cause how loud it was. I hope your car is okay, but doubtful. If it's okay then you're cheating the system somehow 😂

 

I know this is a "What did you do to the G" thread but you should still show us a progress pic of the Vette!

I straddled a water bottle in the road and heard squash underneath

 

How the hell someone can have a modified car and not own a jack?

 

You have like 0.3" of clearance you can't go over the deer!

 

I do, but not with me at my apartment for school. If I want to drive an hour home to have space and tools I would.

 

Summer wheels back on along with new Conti Extremecontact DWs and a solid bath. First pic is a pre-summer wheel change, the rest are post.

Received my new OEM driver and passenger weather strips for the windows as well since they were getting old and have some air whistling through them at times.

Sorry, no giant wings, ill-fitting body kits or slammed wheels with 50 degrees of negative camber. My G is one of the lucky ones!

 

hahaha i daily my is-f and the g is the project.

 

^^^the more I replace on the G, the more I am enjoying driving it! The new JWT clutch has transformed the car--it is that good. The clutch pedal and shifter feel so much lighter and the shifts are snick, snick now. I honestly can't believe how different it made the car feel. And the fact that it catches so low really gets the car moving. JWT clearly continued to work on this clutch over the years because it is night and day over the one I had in 2005! Driving a manual will always be more fun and rewarding than an auto.

Also, much cheaper to have the G as a project than the ISF!

 

Off for an alignment. Thanks free insurance towing!

 

Found time to go home and paint my chipped and peeling faces on my wheels. Settled on a matte grey b/ why not. For $18 worth of paint they completely transformed the entire car. Also polished up the center caps while I was waiting on the paint to dry.

I am about to finish polishing my plenum then i will start on the timing chain cover and wire tuck with braided lines and i ordered new paint i will post pics when i finish. I have an appointment for a new header back custom exhaust and tint

 

How did you go about painting them? Did you let the air out the tires then unbolt the centers or just mask the dish off?
I really don't like the matt black on my centers (and the chips/digs) so I'm considering painting them over - maybe even just satin black or remove the paint and polish it.

 

Unbolting is the way to go, but I didn't wanna risk popping the bead on my tires since I have a slight stretch, so I just masked off the lips and then sprayed the faces. Believe it or not, and roast me if you feel like it, but it's plastidip. At one point I'm going to have the faces stripped and powder coated but I am not in a situation to do that, so $18 worth of plastidip did the trick. And since it isn't permanent like paint, I can peel it and paint it a different color when I get tired of the grey. If you can take the faces off then do it, but I couldn't. However, my faces were in horrible condition, to the point where I could peel it with my hand. So I spent literally 4 hours wire wheeling and sanding the faces so they were buttery smooth before I dipped them.
