Tail light bezels- $65 from eBay Gorilla black locking lug nuts: $75 from Apex Speed Flat black painted bowties: $100 from RPI Designs Flat black painted ZL1 emblems: $195 from Lupe @ overhaulengines I think that's everything. I replaced all of my items instead of painting them so if I want to put the car back to original I can. |

Yes. I purchased painted versions of the emblems and the bowties from the vendors I mentioned. I still also have the original chrome ones in a box.

So, it's been a while since I have updated this thread so I figured I would provide some updates.
Since last time I added JDP halos and AAC grill lighting. Here's a pic: I love these lights. They give the car the attitude it came from Chevy with! I also added some custom painted ZL1 emblems to the fenders. These are temporary until I get my custom emblems made by Roger at Emblempros. Here is a pic of the temp ones: I have also recently gotten into drag racing at our local track. I have been 4 times now with a total of 19 1/4 mile runs. My best run to date is a 12.21 and my best trap speed is 116.xx! I recently put on a pair of Nitto NT05r drag radials for track nights. They are awesome and I ahve seen my 60' times drop steadily. My best is currently a 1.87! Here are a few pics and videos of my races along with my best timeslip from last Wednesday: I am car #3093 in the slip below: I am installing a line lock next weekend which will be controlled with a custom shift knob from CFD: Finally, here are my two favorite pics. They were taken by a professional photographer the other night at the drag strip: Thanks again for stopping by my thread! |

After months of anticipation, I finally was able to order my new custom ZL1 emblems from Roger at Emblempros. I ordered them on Monday and received them on Friday. For a custom made emblem, that is an amazing turnaround time and fast shipping! I got them put on the car Friday evening. Here are a few pics:
I also spent yesterday at the drag strip for the final test and tune of the year. My goal was to get below 12 seconds. The weather was perfect, about 70-75 degrees. It was a busy day, so after 5 hours at the track I only managed 3 runs. My first was a 12.54, my second was 12.16 (my best to that point) and my final run of the day (and the year) was a 11.92 at 116.91 MPH. My only mod is tires, and I am running a Nitto NT05R drag radial on 18x9.5 Corvette GS replica wheels. Here is my time slip. I am car #3311 in the RIGHT lane: A couple pics from the strip: And a couple from the track photographer: It was a great day and I was happy to have achieved my goal before the drag racing season ended for me locally. I hope you enjoy the new pics. Last edited by Deke736; 11-11-2012 at 03:54 PM. |
