Turbo II

Polish them then clear them Comes out cheaper then plating them. Saw's have always looked nice they just don't clear a lot of Brake set ups.

Also did you get the 8.5's?

I was thinking about it, but I'm not sure about what caps to use. I can't find any with a polished finish.

Yeah, two 8.5" lefts and two 8.5" rights.

EDIT: Also, springs came today.

Maybe the center caps from the Cruze Eco rims would fit or the ones from the caddy or silverados I know they had the centers

I ordered my tires today. I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3. I should have the wheels and tires on next week.

Here's the thread on my headlamps: http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/build-threads/17596-andrew-gss-led-projector-build.html

Wheels and tires.

17"x8.5" '93-'96 Corvette Sawblades with 20mm thick adapters by Motorsport Tech wearing 225/45 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires.











I can't wait to get the springs on.

Let me know how you like those tires! I am in need of some new ones and debating if I want to get the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus again, or something new.

 

[AndrewGS]

I'm kinda liking the wheels.

Looks great. I think the machined finish goes really well with the cream white. And I thank Odin you didn't go with the Salad Shooters. The blades though, are a bounty of badass.

But yes, needs some low post haste.

 

[AndrewGS]

Thanks. Springs and links go on next Saturday.

Looking good! Excellent choice of wheels.

By chance, you're not a former dubber, are you?

No. I used to want a MK4 TDI wagon when they came out though.

Love the wheels man.
I always wanted to do a set of those on my Vibe,
but didn't have the heart to part with 20s.

Maybe this time around lol

This morning I installed the chrome mirror caps and LTZ door handles.

Springs and SS links are in.







Here's what it looked like with just the fronts done. Nice rake.

I replaced my plugs today. I went from the stock iridiums, which were all gapped at .026" except for one lone .025"er, to these Autolite XP3923 iridiums gapped at .028". We'll see if it makes any difference in idle smoothness or economy.

My dad broke my windshield when we were doing the springs so I got a new one. It was a bit of an ordeal though. It seems that glass companies don't have aftermarket windshields for non-ASP '14+ cars yet, so I had to get a '12-'13 windshield to keep from spending an additional $350 for the GM glass. This meant getting the plastic covers for the inside and luckily I was able to get them locally for $3.

Nice all around setup. Quick question about the LED tail/brake/and turn signal lights. Is it required that you use the resistor or can you just simply unplug the stock bulbs and plug in the LED's? Because I was looking at LED bulbs that they had at CarID.com that seemed to just replace the OEM bulbs. Was looking to change the turn signals and tail lights on my RS to LED's.

You will need resistors for the turn signals.

Ok I'll look into them. Thank you.

I went with these thin, enclosed units from VLEDS.
