Hey was that a coverlay dash cover you put on the TL
I'm not sure, it was on the car when I bought it, it looked great and matched the dash perfectly. The only thing that bugged me was a cutout for the airbag to deploy. I got tired of it after awhile and figured why would I not get it replaced after spending as much as I did on other stuff.
I ordered a couple chassis braces from heeltoe and received them yesterday. One bolted right on but the other hit the subframe before it came close to mounting up.
I'm on aspec suspension and there is 5" of clearance from the the lowest point of the bar.
I am Kinda pissed that you got your rear sub frame brace and you ordered it this month.
I ordered my Rear subframe brace from Heeltoeauto on last month februrary 4th and STILL have not received my rear subframe brace and I put in tickets too asking Marcus whats up...
These are my help desk tickets I sent to Marcus. He said I have to wait 2 MONTHS to get my rearsub frame brace because they're getting it from Malaysia... Is something going on here?? I want my fucking car parts now!!!
This is the part I ordered. as I see it does not replace the rear sway bar right? If so, I'm going to have to buy a rear sway bar and a front sway bar so I can have maximum stability.
What should I tell the people at heeltoeauto now? Are they taking me for a ride here?

It's in really good shape, I've met him a few times.

The ones I got were only for the front, I wanted the rear brace but it will not clear the atlp exhaust. I had a problem with fitment on one and he is taking it back. The braces are manufactured in Malaysia so unless he has them in stock it takes time. Front and rear sway bars will make a difference in handling as well but are not required. I have ordered many parts from heeltoe and when I've had a problem he has been willing to make it right. I usually check to make sure they have it in stock before ordering though. Sometimes responses get missed because it seems like they have multiple people working on them at different times. I sometimes have to send another response before I can get an answer. I do not beleive he is taking you for a ride but I would contact him again.
This is cool! That business just hangs out on that road taking pictures all day in hopes that people will buy them...? Interesting concept (if I understand it), but those shots are really cool.
Is that a Go-Pro I spy on your windshield? Where that footage at yo
I might have to make a trip up there now hmmm, Daniel (NSX) was also saying it was a pretty awesome road
Yes I had my go pro but there wasn't much sound with it, I left the waterproof case on I'm still going through the videos I took. My friend had his also so I'm going to see how his videos turned out.

It was like that all over the place. There were hundreds of bikers there. One guy crashed and went off the side, he ended up about 30 feet down a steep slope and the bike ended up about 50 feet down. He ended up breaking his collar bone and the bike was totaled. I was surprised how many people were there since it was the off season.

There were two or three companies set up throughout it and would take pictures of everything that drive by. They were set up about 8 different spots throughout. It's a pretty good idea and I'm sure they get a lot of people that buy the photos.

COOL TRIP, MAN!
Thanks, I'm still going through all the photos to see which ones I like the best and then I'll get a few. Those photos are from one company and only about half the ones I found.

nicely done - did you paint over the lettering and just sand off the paint?
I painted the whole caliper each coat, then took paint remover and rag and wipe down each letter. Came out better than I thought it would. The letters would have been very difficult to make off and get it right. I saw some people tried painting the letters but it was difficult to do and a lot of people weren't happy with it.
I'd love to take the Corvette to the Tail of the Dragon! Last year, I went to the National Corvette Museum birthday bash. Some people were going to the Dragon after the event. I had to get home, so I couldn't go. This year, I'm not going to the Bash because of work.

Hey, I posted new pictures in my thread.
Thanks Steven

Thanks, I was going to sand it but the rl calipers have little groves in the lettering so I wasn't sure how well sanding would have worked. The razor blade I a good idea to but not sure about the groves.

Reason: Fixed Quote Box.
It all works, man...you got the job done. Alternatively you could have just done touch up paint but it wouldn't have had as sharp an edge as the method you used.
Hey Stephen, how's the mount been holding up since you changed the bracket?
The mount has been holding up great. I've put about 1500 miles on it and drove the car up to the tail of the dragon where I kept it in lower gears some of the time. I think the fisrt one wasn't welded correctly because I never noticed the weld that much. On the mount I swapped and the replacement I just got you can clearly see the welds.

thanks for the update man, might have to get them then
The car looks amazing! Nice work all around. Are you still thinking about the window visors? I think they would really help add some flair to an already amazing car.

My brother came into town last weekend so we decided to modify my headlights. I kept them mostly stock but switched to type s diffusers and zkw-r lenses.
Hey Stephen, what's up!?!?
Car sold... but
What's been up? What're the plans for the girl!?!? Get on it! Weekend is for tinker!
Yeah I saw that I'm sure you are sorry to see it go. Only thing I've done recently is the headlights. Next thing I'm looking at is to tune the car using flash pro but still doing some research on that now. Also looking into clutches I know I want the lightweight flywheel. So far I've got about three options but still doing more research. Whenever I run the car past 4-5k rpm the clutch pedal gets inconsistent. So far I've replaced the master and slave cylinder, and changed all the fluid but the problem is still there.
1.Stock clutch with lightweight flywheel
2.clutchmasters fx250 clutch kit with light weight flywheel
3.xlr8 daily clutch kit with light weight flywheel
Very nicely done! One of the very few I've ever seen leave the chrome chrome after being opened! Looks great!
Originally I was going to black out the chrome on the headlights but figured since the inspire fog lights were chrome I would leave the headlights chrome to match. I couldn't find any pictures of the stock headlights with type s diffusers but i think it came out pretty well.
Nice, man...
I initially hated it, but now that I've gotten used to the firmness and after a few minor adjustments...
I love my spec 3+ with lightweight flywheel!
I drove Ivo FamilyGuy's too...he has the spec stage 2...butter smooth and firm and strong. Although he had some issues with his that they worked with him on.
In a way, I think oem with light flywheel could be great.
Being that I'm 07 manual...I see flashpro in my future too.
What tuning option will you end up going with?
If I do any of them it will be a stage 2 or less, I don't track the car and I've never even launched it hard the stock clutch still holds the power but the inconsistent pedal is driving me nuts. do you like the stage 2 spec clutch better than the stage 3? When I tune the car I am going to purchase the flashpro from vittuned because they have a deal where you can by the flashpro and tune and get a discount. He did one of my friends tl-s auto and he was happy with it. initially he got it tuned locally but they didn't do a good job with it. Right now I'm still researching because I have to get a new ecu, some wiring harnesses, and repin a few wires. If it was a simple as it is on the type s I would have already done it.

nice I like the headlights, Im getting a new set done and leaving the chrome also. It looks cleaner IMO
