Installed a dipstick on my 8 speed, just gotta weld a bung for a drain plug in the pan next Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks for the pics, It doesnt look too terribly close to the driveshaft. Im sure if it bothered me i could get creative with some 90 degree fittings. But this is definitely the way I plan on doing it as opposed to $250+ kit. Instead of tapping the harness id probably spend a couple bucks on an extension since I have terrible luck with splicing and soldering.

machine polish may be necessary then. Any good detailer in your area should be able to get that out in 5-10 mins. Or just take it to the dealer.

Light polish will take care of that, hell it might come out with just clay.

I wouldnt mind some pics, If i do it the way youre talking about ill be close to the driveshaft.

If youre interested in chrome door handles, I have a set of takeoffs with less than 500 miles.

Im running 20x10 with 305/50/20 and no rubbing on a 2 inch level

So you can drop the pan without pulling the exhaust? and do you have a part number for the gm adapter plug?

I used griots correcting cream, varying pressure/pads and you can take major defects out and still finish down great, without doing another step. Ive been wanting to try a clay pad, which one did you use?

Yeah thats a flag bracket for when I go to the sand dunes. But trust me, if you can operate a DA polisher you can lay down a ceramic coating no problem. Very easy to do. I used Gyeon Mohs, but want to try kamikaze next time around. If i could suggest a nice sealant/topper if you dont want to go straight for a ceramic coating, Wolfgang deep gloss sealant is awesome. Gloss is awesome, lasts a good while, goes on and comes off super easy and it leaves the paint very slick.

How did you convince them to do it without having the shudder? I have the occasional harsh downshift and upshift and delayed engagement. Id like to see if the new fluid helps.

Unrelated, but how are you draining and filling fluid? Through the port on the side with a fluid extractor?

lmao, im pretty sure thats the same guy that made a post about always running into peoples vehicles in parking lots. Who is he to judge?

Looks great! 18 hours is steep, but looks like you got great results. I got mine to about 90% with a quick clay and an orange foam pad and called it good. Followed up with 2 ipa wipes and gyeon mohs ceramic coating (about 12-13 hours total). Curious as to what microfiber pads you're using and what you used to seal everything up after all that polishing.

Thanks. Tint, wheels, and color matched door handles and mirror caps did wonders. If only I could get rid of the original chrome parts now lol.
