    Then went to X-treme Graphics in Lombard, IL and added vinyl wrap to the roof and spoiler, tinted windows and side markers.

    Fast forward to now and I'm out in CO tearing into the engine.

    I broke off the manifold bolt in the stock head while I was torquing down after removing the beauty cover.

    So I bought some new LS3 heads which are at Crawford waiting to get worked on, and some other goodies to go on after I get the heads back.

    New plugs and wires, VMAX TB, and Crawford "little Lunati" cam

    Last updated pic with some plasti-dip, Bohnman splitter and red paint around the fog lights.

    New 2014 polished Camaro wheels to go on after it's back up and running.

    TSS emblem and new CO plate.

    Nice looking ride. There have been a few broken manifold bolts.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    Thanks, I actually sold that setup to another G8 here in CO. I'm currently sitting on stock 19's on rollers and will be putting the polished Camaro's on soon. I've always liked the way the first version polished Camaro's looked and believe this new 2nd version should look pretty nice also.
