Nice Pictures Dan
Can you customize yours like wall papers and back lit colors?
Here's a picture of mine. You can barely see it. This one is just a one up from the basic.

I don't believe I can. I have to play around with it more though. Even if I can't I'm happy with it. It's blue atleast which is the color theme with this car.
It rained really hard today. So hard that water was coming into the car. This picture was about an hour and a half after it finally dropped raining. The road that I work on was completely flooded. I think water pushed passed the seals mainly because it just rained so hard.

We've had almost 12" in the past 3 days. The county south of me deployed their swift water rescue team to a Walmart parking lot.

So some things have happened the past week or so.
Replaced driver side window motor and now it goes up and down fast.
Fixed driver side door panel so now I don't have to open the door to roll up or down the windows.
I'm in the process of removing my old tint which is going way worse than expected. Need to get it all off by Friday because you can barely see out the back because the film separated...
I raised the exhaust. I didn't get any before shots, but it was maybe 2 inches off the ground and had way too much play. I ended up lifting it up and using an exhaust strap and redneck engineered it on.
Found a big ass dent too but eh whatever.
New clamps on the back half so now it's rock solid. Exhaust literally doesn't move now.
Diff is leaking more now so I have to address that someday.
Woodward dream cruise is this weekend, and I have another track day Friday. I'll be getting way more footage this time around.
Lastly I'm deciding on new wheels for the track. The current wheels are for daily purposes and are really not good for road racing and autocross. So 18x10.5 wheels will be ordered soon. Trying to choose between c7 Z06 and deep dish c5 wheels.
I've had a lot of fun this year. I've driven the car roughly 4000 miles this year. More than I have driven it before lol.

Are you upgrading your brakes to something too big for 17s? The only thing I dislike about my V brakes is having to sell my 17x11s. If not you should look at some 17s for the track tires. C4 zr1 wheels can be had in 17x11 for relatively cheap and fit some meat under the car. I ran 315/35/17s without rubbing front and back and the car handled amazing, even with only NT05s on them. With 18s you're adding more weight and will most likely be paying more for tires too.
If you haven't already, check out landstuhltaylor's build on MI-Fbody. He's been racing his camaro at a ton of auto-x and could probably give you some good pointers on what works good and what isn't worth your time.

I've thought about doing c4 Zr1 wheels. Didn't know the 11 inch wheels fit the front.. They would definition be better with cheaper tires and whatnot.
I've thought about doing bigger brakes but I think the c5 brakes are more than adequate.
And yeah I've seen his whole thread. Met him once too, he's a pretty cool dude.
I'll check muh options and see if I can find a halfway decent set of Zr1 wheels.
Did you have to massage anything in front to make 315s fit?

Supporting Memberwatch on the wide front wheels and sticky tires, you will literally blow the cars front hubs apart. it's a documented occurrence on frrax.com. guys who autocross and rr on 200 treadwear or less tires have front hubs last a few events if that, before they explode.
once you really start pushing, you will eventually spread the front corvette calipers as well.
just trying to help man
also tint, wet the window, mat a black garbage bag to it, then let it almost dry, then pull slow from the corner. it will stick to the bag and come right off
