No... they are still there and functional. They have just been tinted red. The tail lights are also tinted red.

I guess I should have asked my question differently. I was wondering if you had tinted the lense with a cleared down version of your paint. I could see that they are still there. I have done the same thing on my car, so I notice when others have it as well. Again great looking car.

Oh okay, I thought you were asking if I shaved them... To tint the lens, we used the mid-coat from the body paint... it is a 3-stage paint, so the midcoat is already translucent. Do you have any pics of yours marker lights?

I have some pics but most dont show the light real well, but the pic I like is one where you don't see it at all. Did you sand the light down smooth? I did and it made a huge difference over when it was not sanded down. I am going to try using color on a friends blue IROC.

Pics: Now you see them,


Now you don't.

The springs are carerra racing... they are much shorter and stiffer than eibach sportlines, but the car has NASCAR style screw jacks on all 4 corners to set the ride hight for the street.

It's mostly a weekend toy... you'll see it next year if you go to any of the big shows like Speedorama, Fleetwood or Supercruise.

Well obviously, you got the drag part...

The Zig Zag refers to it taking curves, handling, AutoX etc...

You got it Steve.


The name actually came from an old Chevy Hi Performance article called "Zig & Zag" where they tuned the suspension of a thirdgen Camaro to pull handling figures similar to a Ferrari 355.
