I was thinking the same thing too. When i get around to putting tires on these rims ill see if i like them red. I am in need of some center caps for the rims if anyone has a set theyd be willing to part with.

cleaning engine and compartment

just dont be stupid about it. dont pressure wash sensors, alternator, computer... etc. use plastic bags to cover those components. Also try not to do it when the motor is fully warmed up, it could warp some stuff.

This weekend I redid the rims on my gray truck, and threw together the sho. I am going to be replacing a shock mount on the gray pickup today as the top of the shock busted through the mount.

The adaptors have stretched studs at 140 ft lbs, and I actually broke a stud on one of the front ones. I just feel a lot better about riding on 5x5 rims. Plus the cost of tires for the camaro rims are pretty high. As for the skills Iowa, I'm going for auto body so I think it might be a little...
