Can't remember the name off the top of my head. I'll check when I get home.

Wow, I didn't realize it was you at first on the forums with the changed avatar and signature. Then it hit me. I got used to your old signature. Congrats on the upgrade. A lot of LLT guys are slowly making the upgrade to a SS or ZL1 now. Welcome!

Nice work....man.

Do you find yourself focusing on looks mods more now than the power mods we used to go crazy on with the V6? I almost bought some headers yesterday, then changed my mind and bought pfadt drop srings and sways instead.

I have only done the intake and have a dyno tune schedule for next month, power wise.

Well right now it is pretty much split. As you can see I've done a few cosmetic mods (fuse box, bowties, tail light bezels, tint, etc) and only performance mods I've done so far is Roto-Fab intake and ported throttle body. The mods I do right now I want to keep my warranty at least for a few thousand miles. I want to make sure I do not have a lemon of an engine / super charger. I do however plan on doing a tune & pulley before C5 fest next year.

I think I am going to keep to suspension stock for a while, it is really well set up on the ZL1. However over time I will do pulley, long tube headers, tune, etc. I think the next thing I am going to get is a clear bra made by XPEL that can "self heal"

I'd definitely invest in a clear bra. At least for the front bumper so you can preserve it as long as possible

Yeah I had a 3M bra on my 2010. It covered the entire front bumper, side mirrors part of the front fenders and 1/3rd of the hood. It protected the paint really well but I did not like the seems being noticeable, and since this was my daily it started to show its wear after almost three years. However the XPEL covers the entire hood and they tuck the edges so you cannot see them. Also it is "self healing" so it gets rid of water spots and swirl marks easier. My old 3M bra was damn near impossible to get rid of the swirl marks and water spots.
