My 1LE Upgrades - ZL1 Diffuser, Rockers, Grill, Front Tire Air Spoilers

I recently finish installing some cosmetic upgrades on my 1LE. I know these mods have been done countless times but I thought I'd share the pics anyhow. I really like how it turned out!

Yet to be done yet is a ZL1 spoiler. I have all the parts for that I just need to get the ZL1 trunk lid I bought painted Victory Red and then I'm going to have the spoiler painted a satin black like the factory 1LE spoiler.

Yeah I have a new bowtie for the rear already for when I install my ZL1 trunk lid and spoiler. Although I'm not going with the blacked out tail light bezels. Too much black starts to overtake the car then in my opinion. My ZL1 spoiler will be painted Satin black so I'll see how that looks first. Since the spoiler is larger than my stock one it will add quite a bit of black to the rear end of the car.

Thanks!

Well I don't drive the car daily so I'm sure that helps keep the tips clean. When I wash the car I just make sure to use the wash mitt and wash the outside of the tips. And right before winter when I was putting it away I spent some time with some detailer and paper towels cleaning out the inside of the tips. Just figured it would be nice to get them cleaned out before they are permanently stained "carbon".

FWIW I use Meguiar's car wash soap, Mother's Brazillian Carnuba Wax, and Wizards Mist N Shine Detailer. If I have a really dirty/greasy job then I'll use some Simple Green degreaser first and then I'll put the shine products on.

I bought the Diffuser and the Grill from SinisSick (posted above a few posts)

I bought the Side Rockers (Painted) and Front Tire Air spoilers (Extensions as described by GM) from Maureen at Rodgers Chevrolet.

I bought my custom painted bowties from River City Customs (forum sponsor here) and my 1LE badge for the ZL1 grill from Emblem Pro's (also a forum sponsor here).

Now I want to replace my front lower valance with the 1LE piece now i just need the part number.
Thanks!

There were a few people on here selling the 1LE front splitter. Check the for sale section. There still might be one or two out there not sold yet. It's normally like $750 list price I think. Forum sponsors like GM Parts House I think has quoted people around $550 or so I think but I'm not totally sure on that. I know I have the part number at home. I can PM you the part number later tonight if I remember.
