thanks love this forum ,btw CSEVEN your car looks awesome, I have the ACS splitter, be careful I wished I has waited for the 90$ splitter, I have repaired it 3 times, don't go over speed bumps fast and watch for steep driveways, you do have to drive with more caution but rocker panel's no issues what so ever,

Thank you, looking forward the re install of the aero kit..all be it a bit of pain to drive over bumps, the looks do not compare to the z06 $90 splitter . Painted in carbon flash with custom red flakes ...

If you have a Z51, your car comes with the brake ducts. There is no need to buy anything extra.

I completed this install about 3 weeks ago. See where I have circled the right brake duct in red. Sorry for the dark picture. It was a messy day outside and I snapped it while in the garage.

I tried to be very clear on this and there seems to be a lot of confusion.

Z51 and the Z06 brake ducts are the same. This simply means if you have a Z51 then you have the Z06 brake ducts. Nothing else is needed. If you don't have the brake ducts and you want to add them we have a kit for that.

To get on the list for grilles please email gene@cultragperformance.com. We are getting regular shipments.

It looks so complex, but you guys make it sound so easy! That is a big piece to take off! lol

I wonder how much a body shop will charge me. lol

I was desensitized after removing my back bumper!


I would guess around $250 bucks.

So if the Z51 has the same brake ducts as the Z06, does switching to the Z06 grill have any function benefit (ie more air flow) than the standard Z51 grill?

Default Grille installed by body shop

Got my Z06 grille installed by a body shop for $100. It took him a little less than an hour.

The Z06 grille sure does look good on the base car.

There would be no further performance increase.
