  1. Yep just put the Corsa Sport on a bout a month ago. Overall I like it alot. No drone at all. Could be a touch louder at idle though.
  2. This is all good news........just got a new Corsa Sport delivered on satuday...can't wait to get it installed. !!!!!!!!
  3. Is the GMPP a single or a dual exit? Does anyone know what it sounds like compared to a Corsa Touring?
  4. I hope we'll have more than just black trucks.........
  5. I guess thats one opinion. However a polish can certainly be applied by hand with excellant results. My 45 customers are always impressed. Yes, the job of a polish is designed to mask and remove surface blemishes and that my friend is the base prep for a good carnuba wax. The two processes working together deliver an awesome finish.
  6. Be sure to put a top coat of a quality wax on the ICE polish. A polish is a prep before the wax step and not intended to provide any paint protection.
  7. No these were never on the truck except for the picts. I had similar tint on the tails of my Magnum and caught all kinds of grief....and yes, the cops up here are that anal. Especially in the suburb I work in. So long story short....... the GF didn't want to risk having them on the truck. The window tint is already too dark and that all she wants to risk.
  8. Eamonn, Thanks for doing business and doing your part to make it a seamless transaction. I'm glad you are pleased with the quality of them. I too was blown away when I first got them. The picts don't do them justice. They truly are top shelf ! I'm sad to have sold them and jealous that someone else now gets to play with them. Oh well.......new exhuast and intake are on thier way so the SS will still get some new trinkets afterall. Cheers........
  9. Eamonn, Glad we could do business. Half a world apart but it was like we were right next door. I was sad to sell them but am glad they've found a good home. Enjoy brother !!!! Looking forward to seeing the picts.
  10. Thanks to all who PM'd me. The ligths are now SOLD.
  11. Clay only when you can feel "roughess, gritty" on a just washed finish. Many people clay waaay more often than is really needed. Follow with a polish, then top coat it with a good qaulity carnuba. Never consider a "cleaner wax" to be your final top coat.
  12. I run the Nitto's on my Magnum and I love them for summer tires, but I've not run them in the winter. I've not heard good reports on them from guys I know in mpls for hard core winter weather. They say its a slippery tire.
  13. Wrestler..............very good question. I'm in MPLS and am in need of new skins too in the next month or two. Don't have the luxury of being able to have winter & summer set ups on this one. Wish I could though. I bet these AWD's would be awsome in the snow with a set of Blizzaks. Has anyone tried these Goodyear Forteras?
  14. So, who's in the market for a set of tinted tails? I had these tinted for the SS and never put on the truck other than for these photos. Why am I selling you ask? Well, let's just say the law enforcement around here really does not appreciate such items. These are ultra high quality. The finish will even last through tough winters. I've been running a set on my Magnum for 2 yrs now and they look as good as the day I put them on the car. Each lamp was prepared with 3 different sanding grits to remove surface imperfections in the plastic and to prepare them for paint and cleared with 3 coats of Urethane clearcoat for durability. The finish lamps were then hand sanded and buffed to a show car shine. These were tinted with the highest quality paint products manufactured by BASF a world renowned paint supplier. The translucent tint was applied by a professional painter with 30 years of experience in a state of the art Italian made $80,000 spray booth/oven using state of the art German quality HVLP spray guns. The completed lamps are baby smooth & virtually free of defects, with a deep gloss that will rival the finest custom paint jobs. THESE ARE NOT RATTLE CAN CREATIONS. THESE ARE NOT TOYS. THESE TAILS ARE SHOW CAR QUALITY ITEMS $210 pair +shipping Here are some comparison shots of normal & the tinted.
  15. In these parts if you get nailed for tint it's either a "fix it" ticket or a fine. The fine is $125 , no matter how many windows are in violation. If you get the "fix it" ticket and remedy your violation like a good boy/girl, all is fine with the world. If you happen to re-tint your windows dark again and they catch you, they can (and have) towed the vehicle on the second violation stating that the vehicle is not safe for operating on the roadway. It's certainly a roll of the dice.
  16. Another good way to clean them is to soak them in a diluted soultion of Simple Green and water. Works like a champ. Then all you have to buy is the treatment oil.
  17. You should be able to sell it at that price. Here in Minneapolis, thats a real fair price for such low milage.
  18. Yep, we shop at Costco (bulk) alot more than we used to. Also am in the process of replacing my homes Central AC unit. The one that is there is a bout 25yrs old piece of crap and never stops running. This Can't be good for the elec bills. Also thinking of putting in a tankless water heater too. I hate heating water when I don't need it.

    Redo Exhaust

    I like the look of the exhaust being in front of the passenger side wheel too. I wish Gibson made a Super Truck exhaust for the SS.
  20. What is the Volant part number of the item?
  21. Welcome ...........I'm up in New Hope
