Yes, I have full underglow including strips on the sides that run from wheel to wheel.

Is it tucked?

Not exactly sure what you're asking, but they are mounted about 2 inches inboard from the pinch welds.

They ones on the sides aren't visible at all. I have 2 small spots on the front where they can be seen when they are on, but none of the other strips are- unless you lie on the ground and look under the car!

If they are off you can't see the strips at all. They sit back about 5 inches from the edge of the rockers.

So, after a long time coming, I finally got all of my interior mods completed that were stacking up. Most importantly, I got the MyLink w/ Nav upgrade from Gen5DIY installed and working correctly. I ran into some issues a couple weeks ago when I initially tried to install MyLink where my faceplate wouldn't power on. After working closely with Ofer and doing some testing, we determined that the problem was in my stock wiring/ harness. After a trip to the dealer, they installed a new radio faceplate, wiring and connector under warranty. The second attempt at installing the MyLink was a success and took about an hour! While the console was apart, I installed a second center console that I wrapped in leather from Redline Goods. The red stitching really complements the ZL1 interior nicely. I also had the side panels wrapped in a black leather vinyl, but will soon be switching that out to leather from Redline Goods. I added an e-brake boot from Redline Goods as well, along with a Victory Red painted e-brake handle from RPI Designs.

Finally, I added a Hurst Comp shifter plate, a Carbon Flash Metallic painted shifter bezel and 4-gauge pack, and RGB cupholder lights from Diode Dynamics.

All of these new interior mods really changed the look of the interior. The leather wrapped console really softened up the interior and gave it a finished look. It looks stock, which is why I like it so much.

Here are some pics:

Does the navigation work without an onstar subscription?

Yes it works without OnStar. I don't have a current OnStar subscription and it works great!

[Hard Parker]

That's legit....I hate the concept of needing onstar to use navigation...gotta push this on the wish list

[BlueRay2ss]

The upgrade is great! you definitely pay attention to all the details.

Yeah, it was great that the Nav/GPS started right up without any extra subscriptions. I am really happy with the MyLink upgrade!

Thanks a lot! I hope you guys are doing well! To me, the devil is in the details, so I am always looking for the little stuff that may not seem like a major change, but really sets the car apart from others.
