Cool New Member & New Owner/Fanatic

Good evening to all of you! I'm new to this group and have only owned my SSR for about 4 weeks and never knew I could have so much fun at 61 years of age!!! It is a blast to drive! Really brings back some memories of the '69 Camero Z28 I used to have.

I have a couple of questions/requests. I have the coin holder in my SSR and it works perfectly, but is missin the trim plate that attaches to the front. Anyone know where I can get just the trim plate?

Also, I had a pretty good vibration in the steering wheel from one of the front tires needing balanced. I took it to the dealer I bought it from and they force balanced all four for me at no cost. The problem is it had already thrown one of the center hubs off the right front satin wheel. Anywhere I can get just one center hub?

I love the forum you guys and gals have formed and look forward to exchanging many ideas and suggestions, and possibly meeting some of you somewhere down the road.

Thanks for any help and information offered.

I bought a 2005 Redline Red Tub with 32000 miles on it. I was actually test driving a new Sebring Hardtop Conv and saw this truck on their used car lot. Had to give it a look and after test driving it, I was sold! I'll be taking some pictures to post if it ever stops raining here in SW Florida.

Congratulations from Western, NC. You will want to used two sided tape to keep those caps from falling off. There is a section in the forum called tips and tricks that will explain the process..

GatorTub, welcome from another SW Florida SSR owner who also bought an 05 Redline Red. I found mine from a private party in Englewood Fl on 20 June less than 20 miles from my house. I expect to be back in Fl about 1 Oct, hopefully we can get together and see how similar or dis-similar they are.
Take care and enjoy the Ride.

The problem with ebay is you don't know if it will match your wheels, they aren't all the same.
