Default Another Z06 grill on C7

These pictures really do not do justice to how well my C7 looks now! Gene at CULTRAG provided exceptional customer service as I ordered the grill on Friday afternoon, to my surprise it shipped that day and I received it on Saturday without an expediting call from me! Thanks again Gene!!

The complete process took me approximately 1 hour from start to finish and was really simple. I watched this video
and it was exact. I used a mid rise lift which did help a lot but ramps could do the same.

Happy for you and your project, just not that big of difference for me to invest in it, once I covered my chrome strip with legit CF (cost me more than your whole grill) very happy with the look. Not a big fan of the Holes where the ducts would go,,,,but always happy to see guys taking the initiative and doing it !!

The holes are functional for brake cooling on the Z51. Ducts can be bought from CALTRAG to make non-Z51's functional as well.

I have not installed Z06 grille yet but considering adding this plastic "leaf guard" left over from my gutters. Easily shaped with clothes iron and do not think will interfere with brake ducts. We get a lot of leaves on the road in the fall and I could see having to clean out brake duct. Once installed do not think you will even see the mesh

Has anyone thought about adding a set of LED lights to go within the Z06 grill? Any ideas out there?

I've actually given it quite a bit of consideration and am really just looking for the right lights that fit and look OEM and not just something that was stuck on.

You could use a hose to flush out the leaves. It is straight and unobstructed.
