Hydrodip it.

How hard is it to remove the insert? I ordered mine a week ago with the ECF but now I'm not sure if I want it or not. I'm kind of liking the look of the AGM insert.

Clegane62,
They are very simple to come off, let me know if you would be interested in swapping with me and I'll pay for all the shipping both ways.

There are like 8 bolts I think and then it snaps in with clips. that is the trick part from what I have read but have not taken mine off yet to see.

come on, if you do that you may a well bought a plane Jane Camaro and just put ZL1 badging on it.

It all comes down to what the car was born with.
Just leave the car with what it came with.

If you do anything, you should buy a CF hood and make sure you keep what the car was made with. Remember Origanal is very important if you go to sell, buyers do not normally want a customized car, they want the way it was made and may want it changed to their ideas.
Any mods, make sure the car can be put back to stock.

They said that about AC in race cars back in the 60s, now they make a car worth more now days.
I remember nobody wanted a rag top, now look. The top goes down the price goes up.

The dealer would be where to get one if you can, they may still be on constraint.

I do not know why anybody would have one for sale. Owners have waited longer just to get one when we ordered the ZL1, I for one did.

You say it is on the sticker? Was it? If it was have the dealer get it changed for you.

I wonder what the hydro dipped would look like?
