ZL1 6 piston brakes getting installed shortly. They were black. Had UNIT F14 POWDERCOATING powdercoat them to look like the stock 1LE brakes.

Thanks, that's their approval picture before they ship. They killed it with the look. It's been a super easy process with great communication. I asked them to use Z06 vented pistons during the rebuild as well.

Just received them the other day. They did a great job. Pricey but they did exactly what I wanted.

Brakes finally needed to be changed so I installed the ZL1 calipers and some stainless steel goodridge lines. Did OEM pads up front and Hawk DCT30s on the rear. Had the Hawks sitting around for years. Came out perfectly, looks like they are OEM 1LE brakes.

Finally got my Bald Eagle Machine front crash bar installed. Got to admit I've been putting this on the back burner for some reason. I didn't enjoy taking off my bumper for the twin install but it seemed much easier this time around. It required zero trimming of the bumper and cleared the drag race AGP intercooler. Here's the Pic of it installed. It's way lighter than the. OEM piece.

It's very nice. I had it sitting in the box in my garage for months now. Didn't even realize how heavy the OEM bar is. I was skeptical of it clearing the intercooler and by the looks of the pictures. It fits perfectly with room to spare.

Put the old girl on the scales to see how much she weighs in at. There's some things that I did for weight savings like the front crash bar and rear seat delete. I also added weight like the twin turbo kit and the front ZL1 brakes.

I also still have the GM Camaro rubber floor mats, the tire inflator kit things like that which could be taken out in seconds. Also still have the OEM NPP exhaust, OEM seats....... street car stuff.

Anyways ~3950 without the driver 3/4 tank of E
