What size hole saw did you use? Also, was the splitter aftermarket? Thanks

I swapped out the stock 350 splitter for the R splitter to try and get a little more front end downforce. This splitter was an ebay special, which fit pretty well but needed slight modification to work. I’m very happy with the look of the splitter!

I also cut larger holes in the strut tower allowing for more negative camber.

The one he and I used is designed by Steeda. It's designed to fit the OEM strut nut as a way to guide the cut. Cutting oil is recommended to extend the life of the tool. Once you're done, you'll want to clean the edges and add touchup paint and clear if you got any. Clear isn't necessary tho.

Thanks. The Steeda “jig” is pretty cool. For me it’s just as easy toI pop out a jig with some leftover plywood in a few minutes. That 2 3/4” number is what I was after. :clap:

Started installing stripes today. Got this far...took me a long time lol. Many hours. Maybe finish up tomorrow. Digging it so far though

Bigworm kit matte with gloss white stripes to change it up.

Crappy pic and where the hell the did the day go.

Edit:. More progress. Gotta trim a little once the pinstripe sets and a little heat. Front and roof is all done pretty much though.

Big pieces are quick and easy. It's the little ones on the bumpers that take forever for me to get everything spaces right

Plan is to finish it up today. Then let her sit in the sun tomorrow. Wash Monday then take for a cruise.


Last edit: had to spin the car around to do the lower rear plate area. Snapped a pic before she went back into the garage. I'm really liking it though. But man does lining and measuring everything up for each piece take some time

Went for a cruise and listened to some music. I have a specific GT350 Playlist on Spotify for when I ride. Yes, the exhaust note is fantastic, but sometimes music is great too.
Here is one of my favorite "drive songs"..... going on a trip down south in July and will be creating a "Road Trip" playlist for that.
