Nice car. Do you feel that the ground kit did something?

Congrats on the purchase. I'm also debating the grounding kit. For all I know it could just be the great placebo effect.

Curious to know if you've noticed a difference.

Very nice man love that color. She looks brand new. Is that a pin stripe I see? You buy that on Lemmon Avenue?

As of right now, it does seem a SLIGHT difference at idle (quieter). I haven't had a chance to go wot yet but during normal driving the gear ratio didn't bother me as much as normal, but could possibly be placebo affect. For the price it doesn't really hurt anything it was about $45 to make and I have enough leftovers to make a second kit or use as a power wire for my basslink I am considering installing.

Yes I purchased on Lemmon lol kind of made me worry I would get a lemon on lemmon but they were pretty great guys. I actually made an offer on the car the saleman said NO WAY! This is the cheapest CPO in the nation we can't do that. A few days later I called made the same offer to a different salesman and he said "We can work with that" and I said you have sold yourself a car went in and in less than an hour had all paperwork done and was out the door. No pinstripe though, and my only gripe was I requested they take the silver "sewell" badge off but they didn't. I do have a shadow kit I'm hoping to black chrome all the chrome thats still on the car if I can make myself brave enough to risk messing up on.

The Sewell Dealerships are great! You made a good move walking out like that and talking to someone else. I havent had any problems with them but not all salesmen are that way. Congrats!

Congrats! Glad you had a good experience. Tried to buy from Sewell but got wayyy better offers from other area dealers. However, this was with new rather than used.

I bought mine at Sewell Dallas and enjoy dealing with them. The service dept has been a pleasure to deal with. I'll pick up 5 quarts of oil (Pennz Ultra) and a filter, they charge $32 labor to change it, and I get my minor warranty work done while it's in - with a free loan car. Not a bad deal.

Looked at Sewell (test drove), couldn't match price. Went to Grubbs, took the car for a overnight test drive. Paperwork done the next day.

Update 2. Z1 tubes installed just an FYI I'm not sure about the other tubes hps for example but the finish on the z1 tubes wasn't exactly what I expected. Instead of it being a smooth black tube. It somewhat looked like it would look If it was covered in electrical tape if this makes sence. Just letting anyone that reads this know since I personally wanted as clean as possible look.
