The bath and changing out the wheels really showed me how rough the paint is. Beautiful paint but it's been abused. I would rather wrap in something else but I have this vinyl in stock, no one is going to buy it, and I don't have the money to buy another roll.

Sure.  :)


Blake,

what belt are you guys using with that accessory setup? Is that balancer the same diameter as the stocker?

...tks

Looks like an underdrive from here.
FC/FD plug and play wiring harnesses, LSx swap AC systems, LSx swap power steering lines.

Yeah, it is a major underdrive.  I don't remember what length is on it with the underdrive, I bought like 10 belts to get one that fit.  ;)  There is a thread on here with measurements if you have a stock  diameter balancer.

That looks like an ASP 25% underdrive pulley and the proper belt was either 52.5 or 53" IIRC.  I just got the ribbed pulley in place of the idler first, then grabbed some string and measured.  It's not hard.

Started doing some wrapping and putting the interior together.

Autopower roll bar painted silver with a light metallic flake. That will get welded in.
Rear bumper has some gloss black cf by Mactac.
Hood and passenger door have been wrapped with pearl white cf by Hexis so far.

You can see the pearl vinyl with and without flash.
Also did a first run of trying to make my sleek lights to match the car.
