Last weekend I found a chip in my windshield while lovingly washing my car. Was so upset as the windshield was replaced last december.

I decided to use a chip fix. It turned out GREAT! first photo is the chip (placed white paper behind the glass (on dash) for contrast.

Second photo is the same area. It's invisible unless I point to it with my fingernail and the person comes in and scrutinizes it with their eyeball 4" away.

Almost called bullshit, but then I realized it was something on my phone.

Link to deck lid , please

The decklid is the MP Concepts gloss black decklid you can get on American Muscle (I got mine on Amazon though). The decal is this one I got from LMR.

Those red accents look great! Have you painted the calipers yet? I brush painted mine in place with the car up on jack stands. Easy peasy.

Not yet, debating between powder coat or rattle can. I don't trust myself to brush it on well.

Today I swapped out the stock grill on my 2020 GT Premium with a Bullitt style grill that I bought on eBay for $119. I had no issues at all with fit or quality. My main reason for the swap was to get rid of the fangs. I will miss the black pony on the front, but I ordered a black pony to mount on the rear deck where the Camaro drivers can see it.

you got the link to the one you bought i see several on ebay

I wash my mower too!, and my wife thi is I am weird. But now after seeing your post I will wash without shame, and after seeing freepenguin's post, i will be waxing my mower too... maybe compound it first...

Thank goodness I'm not the only person in the world who washes and details their mower!

The vendor was cuztom_tuning and the matte black grill I ordered for $119 was out of stock. They sent me the $139 gloss black one instead and did not charge me the additional cost.

Brush painting them in place is so much easier. No need to remove or disassemble the calipers, no need to bleed the brakes. Just mask the discs and a couple other details and paint. By the time you paint the fourth caliper, the first is dry enough for the next coat. Just turn the wheel to get all the access you need. I bought a decent brush because the one supplied with the kit didn’t look very good.

I forgot to ask. What wax do you use on your fridge?

Twizzty, some day, I'll hav to get over to Sebring for one of these events. How did the car hold up, any overheat problems? Sebring is like Mecca for Ford folks, we need to get there and drive it.

Yes, you need to! The SCCA Track Nights in America are great for getting started at road track events, at least that's what I'm using them for. Super fun and relaxed atmosphere so far with the 2 events I've been to this year.

The car held up great and the temps were perfect but I wasn't really able to push the pace because of the rain. We'll be heading back at the end of the summer to try again for better weather but you know how that goes here in Florida. My base GT would just start to overheat at the end of the session when I did Daytona back in April, so I've upgraded to the PP1/GT350 radiator for additional cooling. The PP1/PP2 guys had no issues w/cooling.

I'll post more pictures here when I get them in a week or so.
