I love when packages come early!!!

Last picture is what I figured would happen. Thinking of a fix will let you guys know shortly.

I hope you got your insert, I heard it want up to $3500 for the ECF.

Damn now they are just raising it to prevent people from buying over counter! Good catch on the cai maybe rotofab can make me a top. If not adm intake may be needed

Just looked. Yep 3,510.90 for the exposed and 2,934.63 for the black. I should have bought one from you.

That is a 900 per increase in insert and i say its going higher soon.

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

No more ZL1 stamped in the hood LOL...

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 05-05-2012, 01:41 AM

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

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.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 05-05-2012, 11:56 PM

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?
