what about the lower aero kit? lip side skirts and diffusor? cant imagine it changed drastically.

Those seat and rotor are sick! I will be keeping my ZL1 though.

Zl1 registry just posted new zl1s will keep current front end but get the new tail end ( I'm ok with that lol you keep it ) but they say 2014 up zl1 will get recaro option..

Sure, look at the CTS-V Recaros. Powered and cooled.

You will lose your airbags.

Ill be checking out the SS version and talk to a special person about this....

SamHouseIII · 03-27-2013, 08:18 PM

I like that option.

Deke736 · 03-27-2013, 08:36 PM

If the 2014 ZL1 will have the Recaro option (would be nice if standard) then most likely they will be powered. If that's the case, I'm sure some handy folks around here like Ofer will be all over trying to figure out the wiring to retrofit to 12/13 models. Maybe it could be as simple as a harness adapter? Wouldn't that be nice?

If that's the case, then consider two sold to me.

I figured they would be expensive but retrofit will work. Will they be power recaros like the CTSV guys have?

el ess A · 03-28-2013, 03:23 AM

Recaro is optional on SS and ZL1. I'm sure getting power won't be a problem. $$$$$$$$$, but probably worth it in the long run.

So I'm sure there will be SS and ZL1 logo embroidery as well so I'm assuming the material may match.
