Did you get them mounted up yet? How about now? Let's see some pics!
BTW, I'm on board with those who said you made a fine choice. Repeat after me, "My car, go away."
For what it's worth, some folks have simply cut an additional amount (1/4" I think? Don't quote me on the length) off the remaining pipes so that the wires are further away from the pinch weld in the back.
I listened to both of your clips ("before" and "after" your AWE install) and have to say yes, AWE is far superior to your previous one to my ear.
Have you had a chance to drive for any amount of time on the highway? If so, how was it?
I know they're not everyone's favorite, but those rear window louvers are awesome to my eye. I like how they tie in with the look of the hood louvers.
Very cool.
For the front fascia, and for an electric version, I would be tempted to fashion up a block off plate for the grille areas that has a slippery shape like the current EV design language and incorporate that into either a normal or Mach 1 front fascia.
I also realize that I'm not the one doing...
Lucky you! I took mine to my local dealership for her 2nd service. It was also in immaculate condition, but the tech parked it in a back lot, driving through mud puddles which coated the underside with muddy water and globs of gooey mud - including the exhaust tips.
To say I was upset was an...
I plan on washing mine, maybe even detailing it. Too hot any other time of the year :)
On edit: I'll most likely take it back to the tint place and ask them to re-tint the rear window. It has some bubbles after this summer's sun beating down on it.
Also thinking about re-installing the...
1972 Corvette - Green with black interior. I was too young to remember much about it but do remember riding around town in it.
1982 Corvette - Two-Tone Silver and Gray with dark gray interior, cross-fire that never caused any trouble. I learned how to handle a "high performance" (notice the...
I wish! It's a Supreme convertible though.
This car had 1 owner until 1982 then my wife's dad bought it. He had it until he passed away in 2005. We've been stewards ever since. ~265K miles on the chassis but mechanically everything has been gone through and rebuilt/replaced. Just needs...
EXCELLENT!
My wife helps me as well from time to time but I hardly ever take pics. Most recently she helped replace front fender liners, oil pressure sending unit and fuel filter on our '72 Cutlass.
Seems I always want what I don't have
When I owned my white S197, it had body color between the taillights so I bought a black magnetic "cover" to go there to break it up. Now that I have a black panel, I want something different again. May just leave it alone on this one though.
DMG...
I'm not mad at it at all. Looks very well done. As a person who as always tinkered with the appearance of my vehicles to make them just a little different and to make them stand out in some way I can appreciate the work.
Stripes are very subjective. Personally I wouldn't do the horizontal stripes on the "decklid" but I do like the rest of what he/she has done.
I also realize this did not answer your question. I believe you could use:
Vinyl pinstripe
Paint
Plasti-Dip (if so inclined)
