Default ZR1 Conversion Done - Lots of pics

Well, I finally got my ZR1 conversion done.

I did it with ZR1 fenders made by SLP. While the fit is not perfect, it turned out pretty good. I am happy with the final out come considering the REAL ZR1 fenders would have set me back another $2000.

The wheels are Vossen VVS087 matte brushed silver. 19x10 front and 20x12.5 rear. Tires are Michelin PS2 run flats 285/30/19 front, 335/25/20 rear.

I also installed the SS Vettes ZR1 Extreme spoiler. (A ZR1 spoiler on steroids)

I also have a Carbon Fiber rear diffuser I hope to install in a week or so.

What do you think, forum friends?

And yes, I do plan to lower it.

Looks awesome besides the large wheel gap, You need way bigger sidewalls or a serious drop. Looks like you're ready to go off roadin man. Otherwise it really looks awesome though, like that hood a lot.

Looks great! What where did you get the hood? I'm planning on doing this to my '07. Did you get the fenders from Gene (GM Parts House)?

Again....looks Great!!

The hood is from former forum vender SIC Motorsports. It's called a Violator hood. Other venders may sell this same hood though.

Awesome. CF ZR1 front splitter and rocker extension would really set it off.

It would look great if it were 2" lower all the way around.

Right now it looks like an AWD prototype.

Yes, I know it looks high. I just recently changed out the wheels and it probably hasn't settled all the way back down.

I haven't driven it because I am still working on the interior.


I DO PLAN ON LOWERING IT SOON!

Thanks all!

While I agree that the side skirts and front ZR1 splitter would look great, I want to lower it as much as I can without creating a drive-ability problem (dragging/scraping) so I probably will not be doing that.

The SIC bumper that I had previously already scraped some, if I wasn't careful, just going in and out of my driveway.

I'll drive it a while after I lower it before I make that decision.
