  Scared the hell out of me when you put a drill against the dash, but that is perfect placement for the knob. Will be installing next week but not sure I will put the knob there, maybe in the center console tray below the climate controls.

  Why is tire lettering blue? The blue stuff is actually a soap stuff that they put on there to protect the white lettering in transport so it won't get damaged and look as good as it can look when you finally get the tyres on your car.

  Materials and Manufacturing Processes Modern tires are primarily constructed of synthetic black rubber due to the use of carbon black for greater strength and durability. The white writing is created using a specially developed rubber compound coating that resists damage and retains its color over time. BEFORE WHITE LETTERS: WHITE WALLS Many early tire designs used rubber compounds that increased traction by adding zinc oxide. This chemical addition also happened to turn the rubber of the tires white.

  @@catalinselaru6233I saw quite a few vinyl appliques, that are like solid white rubber stripes or patterns, that come on an application sheet (like a transfer tattoo), and then you use rubber cement to glue and fuse them to the tire, much like you would fuse a rubber patch onto a tire with rubber glue (chemical reaction between the two). They're expensive though... you can get them in custom letters and different colors, patterns, or white wall stripes. I might buy a quart of liquid rubber and try it out, or look around for a strip of pure white rubber waterproofing seals that could be fused with a rubber cement chemical reaction. A strip of thin pure white rubber should not be too impossible to find, and then it's just a matter of fusing it to the tire and cutting it to length, and testing out if it stays on at 100mph. You'd get crisper line edges with a strip of solid silicone rubber seal strips real I'm thinking.

  Mercedes did the opposite as GM is proposing. They offered their high priced option infotainment system with their homegrown GPS and other systems which I had optioned in numerous previous cars. It was good for a factory system. Then they started offering the CarPlay (I assume Android as well but we are an Apple family) system which was standard. Has the screen and normal vehicle systems but uses CarPlay for the Nav and it doesn’t require the $1500 Nav option. The dealer even said it was the better option to use the CarPlay as the factory Nav isn’t worth the package price. Instead of just sticking with the already ingrained and established nav and infotainment they gave a standard (no upcharge) option that was better than the factory packages Nav that they have to license from Apple and Google.

  These issues are from the oil in the tires leaching into the paint. Rubber is a petroleum product and as such it’s oily. This is also what give tires that dull brown we strive to scrub off. The only solution I’ve seen that actually works for the DIY’er is the tire “stickers”, basically precut rubber lettering you glue to the tire.

  The key is Siamese the intake runners on these setups. I probably had one of the first cars turning 6400 rpm on what looked to be a stock intake car. No slp runners on the car all stock parts besides the bbl twin 58mm tb. 400whp at 6400 rpm. Afr 195 heads small cam and my home ported stock intake and runners. You get two to act as one by opening then up at the intake side up into the runner then cut about 1.5 inches into the intake side. Then it uses two tubes to feed one port. Super sleeper back in the day. Still have that car 1992 formula. Now has a Holley stealth ram and single turbo on it. Turbo specific cam same afr heads 800whp on 12 psi through the 700r4 I built. Cars still on 93 only too back then when built it in early 2000s we didn’t have ethanol. We did a lot back then with way less technology.

  I was told by someone working for an OEM tire manf that the white letters, or stripes are actually moulded into the compound (vulcanized or otherwise fused) out of silicone. Never saw that coming. With the "rubber" compound being flexible, any paint or coating would have to flex with it or it will crack for sure. Good luck.

  The locking pin on the Daytona jack stand was put there to make it OSHA compliant. This basically means it can be used in a commercial repair shop. Yeah they can be a bit of a nuisance, but the added 2 or 3 seconds per jack stand way outweighs any possible alternate consequences of not having the locking pin. After you have used the locking pins a few times, it becomes something like muscle memory, and you won't even think about it anymore, you'll just use them.

  Oil based paints work, and will last a fair amount of time, the white letters from the factory are basically a type of powder coating which is baked on, just for ease of explanation. The reason paints don't last on tires is because of the plasticizers in the compound which is continuously off gassing. But as I've said, I have used oil based paint with great success, although again, in a couple months you will have to redo it.

  I think you need to use primer first. When people paint their entire sidewalls, they put down a layer of special primer first. You need the primer to block the regular paint from interacting with the vulcanized rubber. I used the paint pens on a new set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I didn't use dish soap to clean the new tire walls but degreaser instead. It was the orange citrus degreaser I use to clean bike chains. That removed whatever surface dressing was on the tires from the factory that protects them during long term storage. It's been a few weeks and I haven't seen any peeling or discoloring yet. One idea I had was to buy the paint pens, cut the end off one or two, and then run a brayer ink roller like they use in newspaper printing through it. This would allow you to hit all the raised lettering on the tire in one go and do touch ups with another pen later. They brayer rollers are less than $10 on Amazon. Because the surface area you're dealing with is small and the paint in those pens is somewhat precious in terms of quantity, you'll want a small roller.

  I have no idea why people think the TPI was the best intake ever made. It makes no power and can't support any RPM. Why do you want an intake that face plants at 4400rpm when your redline is 5500rpm? Don't hit me with the "low end street torque" argument, it's a corvette not a truck. Chevy put the 350 TPI out the door at 230hp which is just sorry. A simple 4 barrel carb and dual plane easily nets big HP/TQ gains throughout the curve.

  I would try first washing them and then putting acetone( which is nail polish remover) on then try painting . that would takeoff the protective coating off the tire and allow the paint to stick better. Also, you should research what people use for painting the soles of sneakers because those are made with rubber compound. You normally have to do a dye process, but it might be harder because the rubber dye is going from black, which is a very dark color to white. so I would stick with doing acetone first and then putting your paint on and then adding a clearcoat but it’s going to eventually fade which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

  First -- Great-looking Trans Am ! I had an '86 model, and I miss it. - I miss the old F Bodies and Trans Am's entirely ! ** Rubber is naturally WHITE... Tire manufacturers include additives to blacken the tires. When they make white wall and white letter tires, they include a strip of the mostly-natural white Rubber (or other colored rubber) and leave the exposed edges of the letters to show. I also want white letter tires and considered this option, but I was afraid it would be a waste of time. (glad you posted this)
