Not too sure...Sarge doesn't hang out with us now because he is a Ford guy now LOL

I think Def has the caps also, maybe he remembers where he got his?

I got mine from MRZ Performance (Link to the right --->) when he used to answer e-mails and ship products that had been paid for.  I gave up hope of getting my 2 sets of custom trunk closeouts billit covers that I ordered and paid for over a year ago.  He stopped responding to e-mails after nationals last year.

Bottom Line:  Don't deal with MRZ!

BSRL, I have split your post about creating an opening in the front of the Sky into a separate thread. If a post requires pictures to illustrate it or has information that could be helpful to members in the future please feel free to create a thread of it's own as posts get buried in this thread. Even Google will never find them in the future.   :D

Isn't that a Sky rear spoiler?

Do you have any pics from the Side?
Looks killer.  Bet you get a ton of compliments from strangers!

I removed my EiBachs.
Turns out they are for a 2.4L engine Sky, not the Redline.   Kinda bummed about that.  Also broke a Front Stud when taking off the driver tire.  Must have cross threaded it.  I'm waiting on a part.  It's an easy fix, more so on the front because it doesn't have a half shaft. 

So I was thinking about getting some ZOK springs, but decided I wanted to experiment a little.   I took my old springs and put them on the new Koni's
So I am the only Kappa owner to have the shock/spring combo that I now have.
GMPP Spings with Koni SA's

The GMPP Springs have the same Spring Rate as the ZOK springs, but the check height is greater.  Translation, the sky is not as low as a ZOK equipped car.
Here are the specs.
 
LNF Z0K Solstice   
Front  (3100N - 37.0 N/mm)  Rear (3200N - 50.0 N/mm)

GM SPO Perf Parts
Front (3450N - 37.0 N/mm) Rear (3350N - 50.0 N/mm)

On Friday I ordered completely new Brake Kits for the Front and Rear from TCE. 
Fronts are Wilwood DP6 differential bore calipers
Rears are Wilwood Combo Parking Brake Calipers
Slotted rotors at all 4 corners.
They were a little pricey, but stopping is the most important part of driving, so I said WTF.

It's No Big deal.
I did shave 3 hrs off the install time.  I'm good at suspensions.  Tuning, NOT SO MUCH.

De nada

Drove to National Harbor and enjoyed the bands, the logroll competition, and the fireworks at the Uncle  Sam Jam.

My Soul needed a scrubbing.  So I detailed it then drove not topless.

Went to Costco. Spent an arm and a testicle.  Having a BBQ.  All are invited.  Making my specialty Margaritas.  Currently in the testing phase.... Yummy....

But can your margaritas make guests paint a room?
Mine can

After I redid my suspension for the 3rd time my wife washed and banana glazed the sky. (no that is not code)
I have a good wife!
