Did the ZL1 Addon's splitter protectors (black).

Like them. The JacFab NoDrill is a bit short due to the splitter on this ZL1 Bumper so that will have to wait.

JacFab (too short):

Splitter:



Bracket:





ZL1 Addons:







Like them all, just need some adjustment for the JacFab -- that thing is built like a tank!

Next, the fire extinguisher!

Ok installed the SWE Fire Extinguisher kit.

Very easy. Once thing to note:

I wanted to see what issues I'd have if it was installed on the passenger's side.

It will interfere with the seat release:



Now, a shorter extinguisher would work, but not the one recommended in the kit. So, I did install it on the driver's side.

The bracket was easy to put together and using the extinguisher's clasp:







To install, I used the 7/16 wrench and this beauty (1/4 with extension and 3/16 allen socket)



Bolted up nice:







Seat operated fine, no issue hitting the fire extinguisher. I like the saftey feature this gives me. I'd like one on the passenger's side, so maybe the shorter extinguisher will work.

Like this very much...

Thanks Simon!

Next, Gen5Diy footwell lighting...

OK installed the footwell lighting from Gen5DIY:

http://www.gen5diy.com/Chevrolet/Cam...oot_well_kits/

Used black carpenter pencils I picked up from Lowes (4) for a buck and super glued them:





The pencils make it easier to take off in case I need to get into the dash or replace the lights -- very simple this way...

Passengers side:







Lighting:





More to come...
