Love the lighting. How hard was that to install and what did you tap for power?
Rate the install as moderate. Once I was able to determine the pattern of the LEDs laying out the lights on the backside of the fuel rails was pretty straightforward. I wish there had been more length on the power and ground wires, but was finally able to route everything to hide 90% of the wires. You use the main power cable at the back of the fuse box and ground to the cable right below the alternator. All in all 2-3 hours to complete. I did purchase more aluminum muffler tape, this is used to protect any exposed wiring under the fuel rails against heat.
Also put the suction cup mounted shade on the clear roof panel. Stuck in traffic yesterday it just got way too hot. I'm thinking that will come off from time to time but will likely stay on daily.
Added a ported throttle body from WeaponX. WOW.....this thing is incredible! It feels like my C7 is now supercharged or turbo charged. Throttle response at the accelerator is incredible. At 2,500 RPM's the car seems to leap forward....incredible!
I am starting off a thread for people to post what they are doing with their C7 : Mods, Maintenance, Joy-Rides. This has been a popular thread on some of the other car forums I frequent.
I will start it off, for my 2017 GS 1LT M7 :
- Installed CAGs eliminator
- Installed Blockit Mats
- Checked and topped-off the rear diff gear oil (4 ounces underfilled)
- Gave it its first wash
Hooked up Escort radar detector. Hooked up front camera that transmits to my iphone, boy does this work great. Found a paint bubble on my spoiler, and fixed it pretty good. Cleaned it up. Red striped the black wheels , look great. That's it.

I washed it, then drove it to run a few errands, got an estimate for stripes (see Stripes post) and by the time I got home it was covered in dust. Break out the duster.....
Picked up my spoiler and tail light bezels so I imagined getting them and my clear tail lights on this weekend until I realized my diffuser is still weeks away.
Looking at the rear upper fascia removal thread, I can definitely do the diffuser myself but i'll have to read a few more times before getting comfortable with messing around with the rear interior and that cable. Some one said they replaced the tail lights w/o taking the bumper completely off so that's encouraging.
Took my newly arrived GSCreations side markers and rear reflectors in to get a light tint. Also put some air in the rear passenger tire after getting this alert while on the freeway. Went a few miles without loosing any pressure. I'll check it in a bit to see if it's still holding the same pressure.
