I wonder how that would look if you painted just the name and the bowtie body color?

I'm sure it would look OK, but I like this better.

Got a couple of codes. Got a P0757, which is a solenoid for the 3-4 shift. I cleared the codes but still took it to the trans guy to get it checked out. We went for a drive with a scanner hooked up to the obd getting live data. Everything is good. Shifts great. Thx Red for the autocal recommendation. I'd really like to get the Hoe all straightened out. Now it seems like its running the way before the throttle body was changed.

Finally have an update.
Put my winter 17's on. Def don't wanna take a chance with the 22's, especially since I don't have 4wd anymore. Bigto the longtubes for that.
Little comparison. 17's to the 22's. Maybe @Bigbeardenali1992 can use the comparison to get kind of an idea, since @kwOH is trying to sway him lol.
Not that huge of a difference.
I also changed out my low beams from the hids to the leds. I was only running them temporarily since an led blew out.
Really hard to tell the difference in the daylight, but huge difference at night, imo. I prefer the leds much more.

I also noticed that the driver side c.f. axle boot is torn pretty good. Slung grease everywhere. But since I don't have 4wd anymore, I don' think it matters as much now. Any thoughts on that anyone?
Btw: I need brakes all around! Yay me.

EDIT: That's the nnbs bigger brakes and calipers on there, along with the stainless braided hose line.

Lol, I'm a little scared. I used to drive my Firebird Formula in the snow, and blizzards. I always made it ok. Just gotta know how to drive in iffy conditions. But don't forget, my gf drives it 90% of the time, so I'm doing it more for her then for me.

You haven't seen our potholes. Last winter one of them ate one of my 26's and they aren't cheap.
