Yesterday the ZL1 rockers and Heritage grille got installed. They look freaking fantastic!

Today the convertible spoiler came in and I installed it and buffed out a few minor imperfections.

This is how the car should have looked from the factory.

On the way back from the dealer I caught a rock to the windshield put a few chips in it. I'm getting them fixed tomorrow.

After I wash it today I will snap a few pictures and post them up.

Oh and BTW... I LOVE THIS CAR!

Awesome deal with the rockers! What is the difference with the vert spoiler? Just painted?

So let me put up a mod list...

1) Tinted ALL the windows... very much needed
2) Added some pedal covers... http://www.emblempros.com/inc/sdetail/3436/4107
3) Added a new frame brace (had Jason make me one with no logo)... http://jacfab.com/products/camaro-pr...-tunnel-brace/
4) Put on a screen protector for the My Link... I just took a Zagg Invisishield for a lap top and cut it down to size. I should be able to get two more out of the one sheet.
5) Added an Elite catch can from JDP.
6) Did a Stage 1 clutch resevoir from JDP. I should have done a Stage 2. Replaced the reservoir with a factory new one. I have since upgraded to a larger Tipton with a custom bracket.
7) Swapped out a Convertable rear spoiler. Found a black one on Ebay for $190. I might paint it the same color as the factory 1LE spoiler. REPLACED WITH Z/TA SPOILER.
8) Added the ZL1 rockers. Might do the ZL1 rear diffuser. Going to do a Havoc style diffuser. Ordered on 04/10/17
9) Had the wheels Powder Coated under warranty. They look right, now.
10) Added the Heritage Grille.
11) DRL harness with LED's from JDP. http://www.jdpmotorsports.com/jdp-mo...rness-jdpl1003
12) I installed an ADM Race Intake with a Roto-Fab washer tank.
13) Installed the Phastek complete interior lighting kit I got the Aqua so it matches the dash lighting... http://www.phastekperformance.com/20...bl-led-kit.htm ... I'm quite pleased with it. Only problem is that now I see every piece of lint on the floor...
14) Painted the strut bar center section semi gloss black.
15) De-badged the only emblems left on the vehicle are the front and rear Bowties...
16) Installed a V-Max ported TB. Nice SOTP improvement.
17) CTS-V/ZL1 Brakes custom painted with 1LE logo's.
18) Dimple plugged everything oil pan, trans x2, diff x2, also added the Black Hole filter magnets.
19) Pfadt Tri-Y Hi-Flo Cats coated in Semi Gloss Black from JDP.
20) Dyno Tuned by Jeremy Formato. 432 RWHP/422RWTQ
21) Fluidampr #760121 from a forum member NIB hell of price. Not yet installed.
22) Pedders 32mm Rear Z-Bar stripped and painted black. JPSS caster locks, radius bushing inserts, rear camber bolts. Pegasus camber plates, Hotchkiss 1" drop springs. JPSS alignment specs.
23) ACS GTZ Hood painted Satin Black in BC/CC
24) Z/TA Rear spoiler painted Satin Black in BC/CC
25) Empire polished Aluminum front and rear Bowties. Replaced with Defenderworx black inserts for the factory bowties. Looks better now.
26) Did a T3 radiator support.
27) Racing Brakes 2 piece rotors all around with SS vented pistons and high temperature ​seals.
28) ZL1 belly pan.

At 2200 miles I did a base line dyno. 368HP/366TQ bone stock on a Dyno Jet.
At Approx 8500 miles Pfadt LT's with Cats, ADM Race intake, Vmaxx Ported TB and Jeremy Formato Tune 432/422 on a similar Dyno Jet.

I'm seriously considering some Forgelines GA1R wheels in 20x10.5 to run a 295/35 on all 4 corners. Looking to make them rotatable too.

I would describe the Vert spoiler kinda like a subdued ZL1 spoiler. It's full length and lower no third brake light either. I believe every 5th gen Vert has the same spoiler. It really compliments the car without being gaudy.

10) Added the Heritage Grille.

I'm right at 1200 miles I will get a base line Dyno after I hit 1500 miles and then I will look into some power mods.

I plan to start with an intake (I'm torn between a CAI, ADM and JacFab if it gets done in time) and a V-Max ported TB. Possible a Vararam wedge. Headers will be not too far behind and soon there after a cam and ported heads. Obviously it will be tuned along the way.

I also plan to Pedderize the suspension very soon. See this thread for the route I plan to take... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=285242

I'm also kicking around the idea of doing some ACS stuff. The T3 Ports the functional mailslot conversion and possibly a GTZ hood. If I go that route I will add a belly pan of some sort.
You're not wasting ANY time!! These cars respond to mods well. Lookin good!
