Is that snow or salt?
Snow. That'll likely be the last snow this car ever sees!

Thank you Tnredeye...what mud flaps did you go with?
I got the ZL1 Addons, front and rear. That's what I put on the other car and I really like their size. Just big enough to get the job done and not too visually obtrusive. As a buddy of mine used to say "my eye likes them".

I think it looks good. Make sure when and if that tie down begins to pull, that its tension and potentially it wanting to become more straight/rigid won’t put a load on the exhaust pipe. Could be just the picture and indeed it is clear?

It just lightly lays against the pipe. My red car has been towed a lot of miles tied that way.

Thanks! Pics were on todays short list but mother nature had other plans. I got the brake pads swapped and the mud flaps on and about 5 mins before I was going to go for a ride to burnish in the pads it started to rain. Maybe tomorrow..

It stopped raining so I got to get out and seat the brake pads.
Took a few pics too. 😋

Thanks.
I don't use the tpms with this wheel setup. I only use these at the track so I just didn't bother with them since the low pressure in the rear tires would already have the light on anyway.

Typically 18-20 warm on a decent track. Higher on a better track. The quickest runs I've made were on a great surface at 22 lbs.

I have real good slo mo video taken yesterday of that 28X10.5R17 Hoosier DBR on a tuned Hellcat @ 17 PSI. Car just smashes the tire. So 17 is way too low. Manufacturer rep told me 16 to 24 in an email. But 16 would be something you would use on a Mazda Miata. Our cars are way too heavy. I use 19 to 21. I think Tim told me he had 22 in 3299 when I was racing it recently and it worked fine. Of course, with Austin spraying the PJ-1 straight up, that will work! At 22 the year before the car (Demon) would spin on the upshifts. So 19 to 21 is the sweet spot for me on decent prep.
