Yes there is a link a few posts back left coast makes the one I got. Yes it is a weight savings. It also gives you more room for inter coolers etc if needed. I primarily figured on saving a few pounds as I adding some with aftermarket oil and trans cooler. Plus a tow hook mount. I believe if you send them an email they will build you one to order. I emailed them inquiring about chromoly one and they told me they could make one. I decided against that one though but I think I got the last mild steel one that was available.

Ideas can be costly trust me I know! The gf just yelled at me earlier today why you spending $100’s off dollars on freaking lights for? They don’t make it faster it’s a waste of $. I’m like it’s not just about speed it’s cool factor also! Wait until she sees what I going to pay for seats if I can ever find a set of recaros when I have decent $ to spend lol

Just took a ride in a zl1 yesterday at my buddies house. Whole different animal. It’s amazing how different these cars can all be from each other.

Oh I know mine has dramatically changed from when I first bought it until now. Not only in how it looks but also how it drives! Cai, bigger throttle body, lt headers, a tune, hurst shifter, and the pedal commander and my car feels like a whole new monster. It hard to fathom how much improved it would be with supercharger and a new cam. This spring/summer is going to be going through suspension and 4:10 gears hopefully so the car is going to change how it drives again at least suspension wise.

More progress added the brake ducts to my bumper and added the front splitter. The splitter is just temporary for now as I have to make a few changes. I just needed it on to see where to do my splitter rods. On the crash bar.

Installed tru cool trans cooler. Complete with 6an hose. First time building an hoses and gotta say once I learned how to cut it without fraying it was pretty easy! Hint for others don’t use cable cutters like videos on you tube say. Use dermal tool with metal cutter worked beautifully. Got it together started it up and looks free of leaks. However I don’t know does the trans immediately pump fluid through the cooler? Or does it wait until it gets up to a certain temperature? I didn’t exactly let it run for a long period of time. Also is it somehow necessary to burp it get air out of the system somehow?

I did this to my car today! Loving the new rims and tires! Also did this to one of my extensions! Those lugs were on there tight!

Good looking wheels!

As for the breaker bar, Harbor Freight isn't known for super high quality tools. At least they're guaranteed for life.

The breaker bar bent (don’t think it harbor freight one though) but didn’t break lol. The craftsman extension broke though lol

Just picked this up from the guy who rebuilt this for me today! 4:11 gears, Eaton tru trac, jre billet caps, lpw cover. Was told it went together very nicely! It’ll be a while but can’t wait to get it in.

Finally getting there just got to finish up wheel Wells and finish bolting on front bumper cover and it’ll be done ready to drive!
