Also be aware of the fact that these kits are minimum essential parts to keep the price down. This is not a knock to them (Gary and Gen5) whatsoever.

If you want it really right, there are fenderwell liners, and the little fender flares that stick out on the front edge of the wheel well, skid plates, underside air deflectors, and on and on. That stuff is another $300-$400 or so. Point is..understand it is not every ZL-1 part that attaches to the fenders or frame....it's what it takes to get the look

and...as camarol post 12 said, you have alot of options with the lighting. LED bulbs and certain things will drive the price up.

Make sure you know exactly what you want.

Be sure to get the ZL1 front absorber and not try to modify your stock one.

makes things MUCH easier.

I just bought the autosource kit with DRL's. I dont know how I should wire it since I am not the most handyman there is. The kit comes with a fog light switch and I want to control the halos on the fogs/headlights independently from the projector retrofit i'm gonna do as well. Any tips?

You are going to need a custom harness to do what you are asking..

or run the DRL's and Fog lights to separate switches as previously mentioned.

I would HIGHLY suggest looking into the Cupholder Switch from Emblem Pros. It allows up to 5-6 switches and you still retain one cupholder. This way you can have Headlight Halo switch, lower fog switch, upper DRL switch and Upper DRL Halo switch. This is what I have but currently being modified to have more lights. I use it daily!! Everything right at my fingertips without drilling into dash. My installer will be done with my new setup soon which includes the Night Owl Controller system. Lets you have ultimate control what is on/off

I ordered mine from Gary I had him paint it black no issues at all perfect Match.

If someone paid $1100 to match and paint you got ripped off.

I'm one picky SOB....I went ahead and trusted Gary. I received it and couldn't be happier. Everything looked great. Even moving the cowl lines in looked factory
