Let the "mods" begin! [Smile] I too had to buy one 35th LE wheel. Thinking of making a table out of the old wheel. [Smile]

Furniture is good, but what about a garden hose holder for keeping the yard tidy after washing your car?

That would be a perfect garden hose holder or how about an air hose holder in the garage or entension cord holder? [Smile]

PPC is still an excellent system.. and I would still recommend it to anyone... I've seen the headers in person when I was in New Hampshire visiting the Abbene's.

PPC is still 4-6 weeks out on the y-pipes... and if both had been available at the time of my purchase.. I would have definately gone with the PPC headers over the two. They are both nice systems.

Another contributing factor is the fact I really like the feature of the removable catalytic converters... so I can go offroad (track) with it quick and easy... as well as pass emissions during my every two year safety inspection.

SSweet JR!! Gotta love the LM exhaust. If I wasn't on a budget, I would have went with the quad CME as well. Longtubes will have to wait once I get out of debt. Unfortunately, that means no more mods to my SS for a couple years [Frown] Have fun anyways!

My car is still tucked away for the winter so I'll wait for the Y's. Gordon has been good about keeping me informed about the progress. I will post the results once the PPC's are completed and installed. I'm going with the metallic Cats.

Good luck with all of your Mods! There should be a little more hop in the SS's step and it should Sound and Look Awsome!!! (post pics of course!)

Yup, it's been out all winter. Those 18-inch Pilot Sports make the car as challenging as my '99 A4 Z28 when I had to drive it in the winter. At least the Camaro had the RSA's. The Pilot Sports stick like gumballs on dry pavement, but throw in an inch of snow and the car can get pretty squirrely without a light hand.

Keep me posted on when you'd like to do the install. I'll make a hole in my schedule to come over and help.

PS...Don't lock the keys in the car this time... [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

Hey Ken, I dropped by to see that 03 MY Z06. I swear I should get a commision. Every time I come down there I spend time educating customers and sales guys.

Now if I could just get the price right and a good trade........ Grace already said, not now, Dan, please!!
