Just a few mods

I put on new badges, Z06 front grill, ACS Composite fins on the rear, lower the rear a bit more than the stock lowering bolts allow for, installed vitesse throttle controller (very nice response), corsa x-pipe, AFE air intake and went to track where the AFM actuators got melted so CEL came on during the second 20 minute session, but had lots of fun and did two more sessions after.

Good looking work!

I love the look of those ACS fins, but can't decide if I love them $500 worth. How rough was the install?

It took me a while to decide due to the price, but I got them and put them on, no regrets.

It is not difficult to install. Put the template, drill holes and put the screws. All in about an hour including a couple of beers.

I was not sure sure how I would like and at first that is how I had them on, VHB tape (very high bond) and the held on quite beautifully. But still, for peace of mind it's better ti screw them on.

Good job OP.

if I could suggest a few things given the look your car appears to be geared towards now.

1. Carbon flash mirrors and rear spoiler
2. Stinger stripe
3. Painted sides if the transparent roof to match body color
4. Upper rear Z06 vent scoops.
