Those came out great. Makes me want to go back to a stock hood and glue some in.

Thanks! I really love the look of them. I drove the car 200miles and the engine bay was extremely cool whereas before it would've been very heat soaked.

It's been a while since I updated this thread.
I had the diff rebuilt and installed ZR1 stubby shafts.
I had the RST upgrades by mcleod to the RXT 1200.
I finished the install on the new AC setup.
And now I'm finally fabbing a propper 3" exhaust.

Hardest part of the exhaust build, getting the tailpipes just right.
