I got them directly from the ACS rep at the GM Nationals. Here is a link to them on their website. I got mine unpainted. After discussing it with the rep, black plastidip is a much better match for the ZL1 Rockers color than their black painted ones are. So I got them raw and then plastidipped them. Really a perfect match.

again, though your Camaro build is awesome and I love the MPD1 Force 5 Ram Air Intake Hood with black stripes

I am considering a set of rear louvers for the back window. I looked at side louvers, however, nothing I looked at looked good. They are all cheap looking and most are just tinted plastic covers shaped like louvers and not actually louvers. Given that, I will probably skip them.

Thanks for your comments and compliments!

Yeah they really do look great. Thank you sir!

New mods are ordered... time for a couple of Christmas upgrades.

scoticus.rex · 12-26-2014, 01:47 PM

New MRT Louvers installed...

scoticus.rex · 12-30-2014, 12:28 PM

Bought a S u b t h u m p Stealth Enclosure/Amp/Subwoofer for Christmas but the Amp is back ordered so still playing the waiting game for the audio upgrade. Seriously thinking about dropping an order today for some Kooks LT Headers and Green High Flow Cats... so tempted!

scoticus.rex · 02-13-2015, 01:13 PM

Unfortunately, s u b t h u m p has seriously let me down. I order the s u b t h u m p kit well before Christmas. It arrived before Christmas missing the Amplifier with no explanation in the box. I e-mailed Steve the owner and he told me they were back ordered. I still found it strange that they had not bothered to tell me that in any way, shape or form. It is now mid-February and I still don't have an amplifier and Steve is pretty much unresponsive. Just says he can't find them, but doesn't offer any other solutions, refunds or anything else. I really want to like this company, but I can't recommend them based on the poor customer service and the kind of shady way they shipped the order without the Amp like I wouldn't notice.

scoticus.rex · 02-13-2015, 01:25 PM

I did end up buying a set of Kook's Longtube Headers and green high performance cats as mentioned above. I have them installed today at Broadview Auto Services in Warranton, Virginia. Here are a couple of pics of the install.

scoticus.rex · 02-13-2015, 01:27 PM

Here is a video I took while John was dyno tuning Hobbes after the Kooks install. Topped out at 434 RWHP and 442 RWTQ with a conservative street tune.

Finally got my s u b t h u m p stealth enclosure, JBL amp and JBL sub installed. Looks and sounds great. The enclosure is quite well made. Its a shame the owner is so bad at dealing with customers because he does make a good product.

Looks awesome, can't wait to see and hear your car again.
