Looks great....Did you lower you car ? I was told with mrc I will break a shock. If you did what brand springs did u use and how much of a drop.

Looks nasty! Good Job.

Mike-ZL1 · 05-12-2015, 10:21 AM

Yes car is lowered but not in the last 3 pix they are BMR 1.4 inch springs and your MRC system is self leveling so no damage should come from lowering but I think any lower than the 1.4 inches and you will probably have issues I love the new springs only rides a little stiffer than factory in all the settings and the look speaks for itself amazing how much meaner car looks lowered. Thank you for all your kind words Camaro 5 nation

Mike-ZL1, your ZL1 looks real good. Nice Job, my only harsh opinion is the stickers in the Engine Bay. Not a fan of those!

Looks great and thats one mean looking ZL. Only thing I personally would change is paint the front spliter struts black. Its the only chrome on the entire car.

Looks good man, very clean and tastefully done.

Found this pix of the custom carbon splitter kit I made to protect car from road debris you all know what I'm talking about

I made it to replicate the side splitters on the ZR1 corvette thanks for all the great comments

And another

I think the splitter looks great on the front and sides, though I would not be able to get away with a front splitter like that with my driveway.

I prefer the stock grill.

I'm not into two-piece-wheels and I don't care for the color match.

Mike-ZL1 · 05-12-2015, 08:32 PM

The wheels are 3 piece HRE forged aluminum and even after the custom paint they are 2 pounds each lighter than factory set up I understand not for everyone but believe me in person you mite change your mind pix don't do car any justice thanks for feedback

Like the car except for a few minor choices. The thing I don't like are they wheels. My opinion it makes the car look soft and cheap. Again in my opinion you simply can't do better than stock rims. Weight and performace don't match up to about anything else. For my taste painted rims look very cheap

Murder 1 · 05-13-2015, 03:42 AM

Outstanding !!!

Mike-ZL1 · 05-13-2015, 12:02 PM

I can assure you that these rims are not cheap buy any means they are HRE 3 piece forged that are 2 pounds lighter each compared to factory and the pix don't do them justice but I understand not for every one but I think it gives the car a more high end look and feel and the quality of these rims is incredible only took 1 ounce of weight to balance all 4 rims now that is good quality thanks for input
