They do put out more light. I find myself using them a lot more than the bulb setup because they look so "blingy"! :D

Is that a purge cloud or just some fancy photo effect?

He runs SC's on the front and Nitto drag radials on the back. :thumbs:

That's an old pic (from 2007), re-edited for this thread (to cover-up some trash in the foreground). That's just a short distance off-road, alongside the Haulover canal on north Merritt Island. There was a hard-packed sand road there, which was no trouble for the vette, but amusing that it was in a place normally frequented by big-wheeled trucks.

The car survived the abuse :D , and was still my vacation car this year. The "12 year old Chevy" is doing good.

Looks good either way, but to take it up a notch you need to pull the wheels off and address those rotor hats and calipers. :seasix:

yes that is next i will post up pic's when i get them done... thanks

Hey, I just noticed you're lowered a good amount, and not running the lower spoilers. Did you notice any cooling issues because of that? Mine scrape all the time now since lowering, and I'd love to remove them.

no my tuner lower the heat range for the fans so i have not had any problems at all

In the response above, I do concede that if you wanted to run the fans essentially all of the time it would probably bridge the gap but you are risking cycle time issues on the motors and need to keep a close eye on them if you do that.

Those fan motors tend to get angry if you run them for long periods of time.

I have been running my car like this for 3 years and my temps dont get over 220 witch is 8 degrees cooler the when the stock tune tells the fans to come on..and i know you said something about the fans not like n it by running all the time and they dont all the time but look at it like this you a/c fan run most of the time you have you a/c going so i dont see much of a difference... but i am working on a top block off plate... to see if i can get it to cool better..

Got them all cleaned up and painted
