All season tires use a harder compound, so it's harder to get traction because it's not as soft. You'd honestly be better off traction wise with summer tires. Some summer tires have just as good of wet handling, if not better than all seasons. No need to worry about ice here

Well ordered hood struts and billet grilles from american muscle, then black 3.7 badges from latemodel. Camaros will never suspect a thing

Well hood struts and grilles are going to be returned, not enough change for the money. Plus I don't feel like removing a freshly painted bumper and unbolting the hood. Money will be going towards stripes instead

Get the Redline hood struts instead. You don't have to remove the hood to install them. Then return the grill for stripes.

Haha never thought of that
Changed my mod plans on the first page. Went away from speed, and more towards appearance and interior comfort since they better fit my goals/driving style at the present time

I'll have to look into those. Sadly return shipping was like $50 so that takes 1/4 out of my refund
But installed my 3.7 sleeper badges and green mustang registry decal today. Also deleted sound tube and removed the engine cover and strut tower brace
