ZL1 pump and controller on the way, thanks Andy! Also I'm looking for the frameless rear view mirror that should be here any day from Gen5DIY.

I'm having a high pitched noise coming through the audio system, but only when the headlights are on. The car has the RS option so it has the HID headlights. I think it may be a ground loop problem. I'll try to isolate it later this week.

Frank, awesome thread and build! I love the color and the carbon fiber paint job! You've done a lot of custom stuff and it's all in good taste! Very nice!

Thanks! I'll post up a photo of it in the daylight.

A quick pic after washing it. First bath since I got it home from the paint shop.

The carbon fiber really doesn't show too well in this pic. I'll get some better shots soon...

ZL1 fuel pump and controller from ADM is here! Andy even includes a list of the changes to be made in the tune file (in EFI Live format). The frameless rear view mirror from Ofer at Gen5DIY is here also. You know what I'll be doing this weekend!

ZL1 fuel pump and controller are in! I have also removed the Boost a Pump. I bought and used the lock ring tool, trust me it is money well spent. I also flashed the new tune file with the fuel table modifications that Andy at ADM supplied.

I used an air cutoff tool to cut the access hole. If you do this, do NOT let the tool cut too deeply. Only cut deep enough to go through the sheet metal. There are fuel lines and wires, not to mention the gas tank that are close to the floorboard!

Frameless rear view mirror is installed! It took all of about twenty minutes thanks to Gen5DIY's harness and instructions. It is a neat feature, it is touch sensitive for the buttons, and the OnStar and other icons light up behind the mirror. In the pic I ask you, which is better looking?

I installed the coil covers. I really need to get a shot of these out in the sunlight.
