Adding a ZL1 front end to your car.

[MValdez17]

With them being so much, Im sure somebody will be making some aftermarket ones pretty quick.

No more ZL1 stamped in the hood LOL...

Brand new ones damaged? Just did not want to open the hood, and everyone point out that it says ZL1 on there.

[2SSRS]

Yes in shipping i got one with the rear tip smashed some not much, that is why i repacked it to ship.

I hate when hoods come in like that.

Checked all the wiring today all 4 lights are lighting up! Thank you for both harnesses! You made it easy!
Also installed the brake coolers onto the lower grille. Monday I will put the car on the lift and see how the fitting goes for the lower air deflector/belly pan. Hoping to have everything painted on Friday. Pictures to follow!!

Picture of first part of brake coolers on the grille.
I attached some pictures of my P13 Plasmas. Instead of cutting the female connecter, I cut the bulb connector one it was pretty easy.

Good work, i did not have any P13 at the time.

Problem I have with the center air duct part. It doesn't have the mount to mount the air temperature sensor. I assume they are located somewhere else on the ZL1s I just can't find it in my parts book or software. Im thinking I can cut my old one off and plastic weld it on to the new center duct. Maybe you will have better luck finding it.

I also had to trim the left back corner slightly for it to fit properly.

Are you telling me that just the insert is $3,500???? SO the hood in total is like $4,500??? Will the price ever come down in the future? My 4th gen cost as much as a ZL1 hood lol.

I know I can get an aftermarket hood but I really want a steel or aluminum hood. Does anyone see a vendor making just the insert in the future?

Ofer, i can't thank you enough for your help today!!!! i'm so happy with my car it's unbelievable. especially once i washed it!

In time there will be inserts that will fit the ZL1 hood, it will not be the same but will fit, There is to much cash to live it on the table.

Looks grate and thank you.

[MValdez17]

Lower air deflector/belly pan is installed now. I had to do some cutting so it can fit with my Kooks headers. I also had to drill some holes into the cradle then put screws to hold it in place. I thought it was going to be a direct fit, minus the cutting. I did not get pictures, but if I get it back on the lift ill snap a few pictures.

Going to spray the underside of the hood tomorrow IOM.

[jsharp]

Pls provide details i have kooks as well!

How slightly different is this going to be? There are quite a few waiting for alternatives to the expensive OEM's CF inserts. Want mine to clear a Maggie

Thanks bro! Those are stock RS headlights.

[jsharp]

Im glad I went with the stock peice it is deff a nice one! I was able to get my insert to clear my maggie with just changing the coupler on my cai that comes off the throttle body. 40 dollar fix!

Hmm must be the angle, they look "different". If I wasn't traveling so much I'd say we should get a cruise together but it feels like I only get drive my car when I'm driving to the airport :(

NO! They don't need to bring back the ABM ZL1s . We ABMers would like to stay exclusive

I don't have the info, but from reading posts by 2SSRS, RAYS and JSHARP, the bottom parts of the insert (for channeling water forward to the radiator) at the throttle body needs about 0.5 to 1.0 inch????

[jsharp]

Yes I would say an inch would be good. you just need to get your air intake tube going south asap when it comes off the lip of the throttle body. The quicker it dives the better clearance you will have. Then you fab up something on the other end to turn it back into the filter tube. I used two 45 degree couples one on each end and trimmed them to get it to dive quicker. So maybe more like a 50to60 degree coupler would be ideal.
