Some rear end Mods (ACS)
ACS Wickerbill Bolt on Spoiler kit
ACS Dual Rear Diffuser
Z06 Clear Tailights.
The dual diffuser is very aggressive looking.
The ACS Wickerbill is probably in between a Stage 1 and Stage 2...A bit taller than a stage 1 Z06 but not as high as the stage 2 if that makes sense.

Looks great!!! How painful was it installing the diffuser thingies? And which color are those?
I really like the look, but i'm a little hesitant. Does it really take 15 minutes per side??

I'm sorry, but they really look like bolt on's. Some are going to like it, others are going to be like me.
If it were more integrated in to the car then I think that it would be nice, The spoiler does do as it's name suggests....spoils the look of the rear of the car...
But, as they say " it's your car and your money" as long as you enjoy it that is all that matters.

Definitely not 15min...probably like 30min or so a side after the bumper is loosened up. They have a few write ups in here how to install these.. I followed along, pretty straight forward.
These are carbon flash

I was on the fence with the diffuser for a long time. I decided to take the plunge. But yes it will be either you like it or you don't kind of thing....
It looks a lot better in person not as much of a "bolt on" look.
Red brake lights and tail lights alreadyv. Turn signals are yellow on the top. Just like the Z06 car.
These are factory Z06 lights.

I think the mods look pretty good.

I like the look. Psychologically, I can't get past paying the prices I've seen posted for the change, so I'll prolly never do it.
Ironically, it was hypothesized that the aero mods that differentiate the z06 actually slows it down on. While it's a great aid in the turns, so much air is altered that it's slower with it than without it, in the straights. I wish I could remember where I saw the course results vs. a GT-R(?)... some YouTube video of the z06 and another car showed that the faster the z06 went, the more its' expected speed slowed vs. the hypothetical. That is to say, where it was expected to nail "100mph" or whatever, it only registered ~95, and those minor losses tracked it almost 2 seconds slower over a lap than projected. I gotta find it on YouTube again.. of course, there's nothing "scientific" about the test nor the results.
Found it. Go to 15:20 on the video:
and "do more with less", my @sp. Who's got an extra $40G's in their pocket riding around barely 2 seconds slower?
