Got the Invo's on today!. Somehow discounts warehouse sent some new old stock that are already five years old so they reordered the fronts and I went ahead and had them go with a 275/35's instead. The 315's look great on the rear. Looking at them off the car they didn't look like they would fit lol

Also picked up a pair of factory zl1 sway bars today. Now it's time to pull it in my shop and get tearing it apart...

It's called an A Style Lip I got through Amazon from Ikon Motorsports. $265 unpainted including shipping. I haven't finished installing it yet looks like I have to drill six to eight holes in the bottom of the bumper

. I probably should have done a little more research on splitters before I bought one but it was one of those things I just saw it and clicked it and now I have it lol

Haha i did the same thing regarding the Ikon splitter. It looked cool so i bought it without any research. Looks great though! When you do end up drilling holes, if you dont mind posting some pictures that would be greatly appreciated!

justjoshin · 03-06-2016, 02:51 PM

Will have to drill holes for just about any splitter. Had to do it for my 2010 and it was nothing compared to cutting the slots in the rear bumper for the ZL1 diffuser. That made me nervous....

DUSTYHAZE · 03-06-2016, 03:27 PM

Ill take some pictures of the holes used/drilled. It really wasnt bad. All the holes were drilled into the splitter already. It used the 2 factory bots under the bumber and all of the plastic ones that hold the stock lip piece underneath. So i basically took all of them off. Used to 2 factory bolt to hold and position it. Then reinstalled all the plastic bolts and lip then drilled straight through the splitter holes through the bumper. All were acessable from behind to secure nuts and washers and became pretty rigid once all tightened up.

Made some carbon gills and the roof molding with some pinstripe tape from oriellys. And modified and installed a catch can. Had to use stronger hose than what it came with (pictured).

Only complaint so far is the rear springs dropped quite a bit more than an inch and im getting slight rubbing on harsher bumps which sucks. But look great and the car feels much more "planted" between the springs and sways.

Does look low in the rear, but it looks really good too. Like the last picture!

Magna_Flow · 03-07-2016, 01:21 PM

Great progress! We're liking the new ride height.

DUSTYHAZE · 03-07-2016, 06:57 PM

Thanks, I love the way it looks. I'm going to see if I can clear up some room in the wheel well to get rid of the rubbing if not I'll have to look getting springs for the rear at least, need a 1/2 inch or so.
