i'm actually looking into getting a used 2010 chevy camaro ss now... i found one with low miles for about $32k. dealership so hopefully i can get it for less. i'm out in san luis obispo at the moment and am busy with school so parting out would be way too much work for me. i'm going to think about putting the entire car up for sale here on azine and hopefully i get lucky.

BTW, If you ever change your car back to stock before you sell it, I would buy some parts.

I'm sure if you decide on selling your car put a feeler ad in the FS section and see if you get any bite. Good luck How long have you own your RL? I still love mine and enjoy driving it on a good day.
Do you know exactly how the Mugen kit is installed? Aren't there only drilled holes on the sides? Trying to see if I have to swap someone for their bumper or if I can just have the kit removed...

The bumper had to be cut to install the kit, so there is no point in removing the kit. Your only hope to make money is to swap the entire bumper with the buyer. It comes off really easy, but includes the grill.

I wouldn't mind swapping bumpers with you plus cash, my car is black also. I'm flying to LA in July and Vegas in Aug. if you are interested (i can box it and ship through southwest) or ship through ups if you want it sooner

The rear bumper just clue with double side tape all around and the drilled a small holes underneath corners for better fitting, the sides is pretty much plug and play(no drilling) and the front bumper needs to be modify with two big square holes to fit the front spoiler. Your best bet is to swap all the spoiler kit with the another member instead of swapping individually. I noticed you have a WTT/WTB thread, good luck with that, it could be very stressful.

May I ask why you want to sell the RL, let's be honest your RL looks sick and you have done a lot to the car and if you sell it you will take a big hit. If you're getting bored I'd suggest make a small change to get the mod itch.

Hey Eyi how do you manage with your tire wearing since you're lower than mine and I know there's no camber kit for our cars.

are you talking about tire rub? my fenders are rolled



does anyone know if there are 10mm spacers with extended studs for our wheel pattern? i'm running 5mm spacers and it's not quite as flush as i want it. and 15mm spacers are a little too much.

expect pics of my car even lower soon

I checked ichiba I dont think you'd need extended lugs with 10mm spacer. Only 12mm and up. You'd have to measure though. How much lug is left with your 5mm?

Sheesh, with the quick search I did I couldnt find any 10mm spacers with the lugs in them. You may have to get the 10mm spacer and add the extended lugs yourself. Ichiba has good quality lugs and spacers, hubcentric too

He means do your tires wear unevenly on the inside vs. outside because of your drop.

yes... of course they wear more unevenly lol... not significantly though. i.e. i wouldn't raise my car for better tire wear.

yeah that's the problem -__- 5mm is not enough. 15mm is too much. and 10mm doesn't come with extended studs.

i tried to look for the replacement studs for our cars but wasn't successful. too many numbers
