And a few more. The finished photos will follow once I get the car out of the garage and the winter cover off, hopefully another 2 weeks or so.

Where does the net lose of 50 lbs come from? The light weight battery is really that much lighter? Or does the exhaust swap save some too. Do you have a breakdown in where the weight savings comes from? Thanks!

How about dollar and time investment figures?

The Braille battery is 21 lbs vs. 39 for the stock. The headers are about 25 lbs lighter, z06 grill little lighter then stock, exhaust about 10 lbs., carbon cai is about 10 lbs lighter, added weight sideskirts, 12 lbs, GT sound mat 4 lbs. The figures are approximate but fairly close.

Did you source the Z)6 steering wheel in Canada? If so where did you order from if you dont mind telling.

tyho

Got it from my dealer, New Roads Chev in Newmarket. It took 2 months. I think the list price was $727, They did me a favour with the pricing. I had to find a z06 and get the vin # otherwise they had difficulty with the part as it didn't match my c7 vin.

How did you get rid of the visor warning sticker?

tyho

Hate those stickers!!! Paper towels folded to the size of the stickers and soak it with rubbing alcohol. Place the paper towel on saran wrap and tape it to the visor so the paper towel is in contact with the sticker and the saran wrap holds it in place. Tape around the edges of the saran wrap (which should be slightly larger the folded towels) and let sit for 30 min. I didn't take the visor off. Remove the paper towel and the sticker should peel off. There will be a slight residue left on the visor. I just left this as it is not too bad, but you can try goo gone and rub it until the residue comes off. I didn't do this so as not to damage the visor.
