Takes about 3 hours or so.
Look at my 4LT interior upgrade thread in the C6 Z06/ZR1 section on a link to the documents to help you do it

2020 C6 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

St. Jude Donor '08-'09-'10-'11-'12-'13-'14-'15-'16,'17,'18-'19-'20-'21-'22

Backup light switch, MN6

Easy to do with the lift in my laboratory. Short 7/8" socket too short, Long 7/8" socket too long, so LOTS of 30 degree turns with the 7/8" box end wrench.

And now the backup lights work again.

Finished the Carmin Red wrap today. Looks amazing. If I didn’t tell you it was a wrap you would never know.

Hardwired the battery tender quick disconnect in the engine bay off the fuse box so I don't have to keep my hatch popped while in storage.

The guide on this forum was very helpful. Thanks again folks.

The front splitter and rear spoiler are ACS and the side skirts I got from TPS motorsports http://www.tpsmotorsports.com/corvet...de-skirts.html

The side skirts took about an hour to install but 45min of that was finding tools and lifting the car. The actual install was pretty quick.

Hi corvettecolin.

That's exactly where I connected my camera. Rear camera is a great addition.

I enjoyed my install - did it over the winter.

Which Head Unit did you choose?
