Finished painting today. Actually about an hour ago. Now I will just let it sit for a few days then cut and buff it. Then put everything back together. Once I get the insert I will be spraying it gloss black.

Finally got the lower grille dialed in, and installed the edge guards and shrouds... Nice to have this project %100 wrapped up finally.

Thanks a ton Ofer!

Looks awesome! Its a shame to cover up the Carbon Fiber, I think you should just do a dark tint on the insert, that way in certain light you can see the CF but it will look black most of the time. Just a thought

Loving all these ZL1 front ends! When I installed mine I wasnt able to install the wheel liners because I didn't have all the necessary hardware. Or the ducts. I got the ducts in a month ago but still don't have the hardware to attach the wheel liners underneath. Has anyone installed these help me out with directions or part numbers for the hardware? I have the diagram posted earlier but no part numbers. Thanks!

I think Valdez is getting the painted black insert like me and just painting it gloss. Not actually painting over the exposed CF one.
