New Tires and Wheels

I bought a new set of rear tires for Ivy.  I decided to try out a set of Nitto NT555R Extreme Drag Radials.  The stock tires are 275/40/20 but I also decided to go with a little wider tire and ordered 305/35/20s.  The 305s were a little wide for the stock 9 inch RS wheel, but would still work okay.

Changing the Automatic Shifter

The Barton Industries Shifter

Was looking to change the interior a little bit... One thing that came up that peaked my interest was changing the shifter.  Ivy was developing a race ready, aggressive attitude and well, quite frankly the big, leather wrapped shifter just wasn't fitting in... it was time for it to go!  Enter Barton Industries! Barton was making a very cool, pistol grip shifter for the automatic and they would also be attending Camaro5 Fest in Georgia.  Perfect!  Get the shifter, save on shipping and get it installed!

Lowering the 2010 V6 Camaro

I really love the looks of the 2010 Camaro. Love the lines, the low roof, the agressive nose and the big hips.  But one thing that had been bothering me for a while however was it's jacked up 4x4 stance. It seemed lately that every time I looked at Ivy all I could see was those HUGE gaps in the wheel wells. Well, after a while it bugged me enough I finally decided something need to be done!  So once again I found myself on the phone with Scott Hoag from MRT.

The Engine Cover Makeover!

So Scott from MRT has been showing me all sorts of very cool things they've been doing since they since they started "dipping" things in their new hydrographics tank!  Hydrographics or water transfer printing is a method where by all different types of designs and patterns can be printed on to metal, plastic, glass, hard woods, and various other materials, by basically floating the ink on top of a tank of water.  That's the very simplistic view of it.  To me it reminds me of the OLD FASHIONED way of making Easter Eggs where the dye floated on top of the water and you swirled and dipped the eggs.

A Little Bit of Black Magic

So I promsied the Mrs. I wouldn't turn this car into another Show Car and be gone every weekend.  Well, that doesn't mean I can't do some simple little things to improve the cars looks, right?
