Thanks haha. I have a can in my garage. If it holds up I'll do it right away

I added a strut tower brace under the hood. Mainly just for looks, I always thought it looked like it was missing something with the open bolt holes and nothing bolted to them. And here's a couple more random pics. I made a video of my exhaust on a cold start up. I need to put it on YouTube and put it up here.

JantzenOKC · 09-04-2015, 08:08 AM

Ok here is the clip I made. Keep in mind I made it with my phone, but this LG G4 phone I have takes pretty good pictures and videos. Way better than the note 2 I had before.

Fabberge · 09-04-2015, 12:36 PM

make it public! we want to hear it

JantzenOKC · 09-04-2015, 01:11 PM

Oops, fixed it.

JantzenOKC · 09-04-2015, 01:34 PM

I had my muffler guy order me another magnaflow resonated x-pipe so I'll replace the h-pipe with that next week and make another video the same way.

Sounds good! I wish I had the flat bottom steering wheel.

Gen 5 diy has them pretty cheap

JantzenOKC · 09-05-2015, 06:16 AM

Yeah I think I payed like $220 for the steering wheel. I just ordered one from the dealer for a ZL1 auto with the sueade. I dyed all my stiching red so it matches pretty well. I love it though, it feels so much better than the leather.

smithnc · 09-06-2015, 07:24 PM

Do you need to change anything else besides the steering wheel to make the ZL1 wheel fit? Airbag? I'm considering doing this.

Byron_7 · 09-07-2015, 03:45 AM

I did this on mine with the 1le steering wheel the only think i needed to swap was the airbag

JantzenOKC · 09-07-2015, 07:31 AM

It's a quick easy swap, and uses the same airbag. I would like to find something to cover the ZL1 emblem someday.

Is it imprinted into the wheel or like a raised sticker? I was thinking emblem pros could probably make you something to cover or replace it.

JantzenOKC · 09-07-2015, 06:18 PM

Yeah I'm sure they could, I guess I just haven't wanted it covered bad enough to mess with it. I used to feel like a poser but now that I'm almost as fast as a ZL1 I guess it's not that big of a deal.
