Thanks for the input but i don't think i really want to take it off. The heat shield is pretty functional, may not be too pretty but i could always anodize it or something. Here is a picture of the lip of one day driving hard before the shield:

I was going to look into getting some cusco hangers because that exhaust is wobbling around a little too much.

The next paycheck I get, I think I may just chip the car. Forget the pulley because I don't really think its worth waiting this long to come across one. Any suggestions on a good tune?

I'm waiting for them to finish the pulley, but if they take too long they i'll just do a tune w/o pulley.
According to them, they have a second generation prototype that just needs a dyno, but there are having problems getting a hold of their local M271 driver in chicago.
i'm going to try to wait to get both the dyno/tune and pulley together...

LET Tuning has a really good reputation.

Thanks again G

Just finished cleaning the coupe, diesel and vette today. Here are some pics of my hard work 
Just installed the lowering bolts on the vette and the skate wheels for the front, plan to lower it another inch

What tire size and spacer and lug size are you running in the rear to get it so flush with the rear?On another topic, ever since i transitioned from my works to the C7's I had to go back to stock bolts and I have been having problems torquing down one lug bolt on the front passenger wheel. Every time I try, it refuses to torque, keeps spinning and strips the thread on the tip of the lug bolt. I have already gone through several lug bolts trying to figure out the problem. Could a bad spacer cause the bolt to go in way that would cause this particular problem? Can Spacers go bad at all? If so how can you tell?
