Put it on scales for baseline.
Light weight battery, light wheels, track pads, harness bar, harness, check alignment after lowering as much as possible, add Vbox and camera unless the new laptimer / camera option does the job, window tint, remove all decals that don't leave holes, paint chrome strip, paint reflectors.

A place where I can put Z51 Badges. 
Actually, nothing. I keep all my Vettes stock. Well, maybe a good set of floor mats/cargo mats.

I have a couple of ideas for some parts in CF that I want to work out a design for, one purely cosmetic and the other functional...we'll see what my CF guy can do. As for my first mod...paint protection all the way and tint.

There is absolutely no way to make outside air go into the vent, which can be easily figured out from simply looking at the design.
As an earlier post alluded to, the vent allows hot, high pressure air out from underneath the hood to aid in cooling but more importantly to reduce front end lift (thereby artificially creating downforce).
The reason I know this is because I have an aftermarket heat extractor or vented hood on my CTS-V and it makes a huge difference in high speed stability and front end grip.

Those letters do look kinda awkward. I know they need the cars emblem back there but there is just so much going on back there on that rear bumper. I wish they would have made the name into the bumper rather than the stick on letters.
I took the letters off one side of this pic below and removed that horizonal reflector to see what it would look like smoothed out a little bit.

Scraping the splitter.
No plans other than tint.
I'll consider a set of HRE's for the car, but I'd probably stick with the same Michelin tire and that will depend on size availability.
