I will probably try to make it if my schedule allows and I can get my car cleaned in time. I’ll park in the Americans area and try to find other BWs. I have been to 3-4 of these before and never saw a Blackwing. The turnout is giant though and there are a lot of cool cars.

I am not against EVs. I had a Model Y for 3 years. It worked great or me, but got a little boring. Your 300 miles of range in Detroit winter will likely be about 150-200 so you will probably have to charge a little more than you expect. I’m with you on taking a free car to better protect the...

Realized I never posted any photos. Tried to throw some in to really show the paint for reference to others looking to get ideas. A lot of nice photos in this thread already.

I would be up for that if I wasn’t out of town that weekend! Bummer. Maybe next time.

Does anyone with an Infrared Tintcoat live around the Philly area that would want to get together sometime to line up a Radiant Red and Infrared side-by-side for comparison photos? I have a RR 5BW.

My first car is the green Camaro on the left. 1995 Camaro V6, 5-spd manual. Insurance is rough on 16yos... The red 1998 Camaro SS was my fathers, which I now own and still drive around.

Damn I want that green color…

Thanks everyone. Not looking to save money necessarily, just want to do it myself and make sure everything is done right and take a look underneath. I have the benefit of a 4-post lift in my garage. I tried swinging by my local Advance Auto and Pep Boys, neither could order the oil for me so...

Where is the best place to buy M1 Supercar 0W-40 for the 5BW? I don't want to get it from Amazon or Ebay as it seems hard to trust anything is proper from those sources. I suppose I could likely pick it up at the dealer, but not sure if they are gouging people on price per quart. Need to pick...

I ended up getting some Apex VS-5RS wheels during the winter sale. 19x10 et20 and 19x11 et44 per their recommended sizes. I wanted to go with stock sizes and swap my summer PS4S over to them an put winter tires on my stock rims. Eventually just decided to put winter tires on the Apex wheels for...

Put on the winter setup today. Much stickier than the PS4S in these colder temps.

Spent last weekend ceramic coating the new wheels for my winter setup. Planning on mounting them this weekend.

How can you deny the red pill… But in all seriousness, I couldn’t make the leap for that amount of money just for a color change. I do love my RR color (besides the horrible GM paint).

My car is full of paint defects and paint nibs. I had a bad one right on my gas cap that drove me nuts. My detail shop was able to carefully polish it down and it looks a million times better. There are more all around the car, but not as pronounced as that one was. I also have what appears...

I think you are exactly right! One side badge curves out in the middle and pops out. The back badge is flat and is peeling away at the edges. One side badge seems fine (which much be the correct application). Thank you! Maybe I should just convert to all black badges... if only they didn't...
