Finaly got my C6 Z51 brakes on .The rotors are slightly bigger in the front and back. Also got my headers and X pipe on with racing cats . The car sounds awesome . I'll post the dyno results soon.

Finaly got a chance to enhance my gauge cluster . Great look on an all black interior to break it up plus they go well with my other accents .

Ordered my Lf front fenders to compliment the rear . They came a week after I ordered them and appear to be the same good quality as my rears. Hopefully I'll get them on next month.

Congrats and welcome neighbor! We should meet up at a cruise nite in between. Galloping Hill on Monday nights is one of the great ones!
Btw, tuned mine at ECS. Doug is great.

That was the very first thing I did to mine too last Summer ,I used the thick Superglue recomended by somebody on here instead of just trusting that little bit of tape that's on them. Kind of intimidating tearing everything apart at first but can do it blindfolded now.

My only concern regarding superglue is if I were to drop the thing in just the wrong spot, and then had a permanent super glue mark!
