This has been our experience. Many deal with the limp mode and over heating to maintain the warranty. Cant say that we would disagree with that.

Thank you for the business. Opening the box(s) will be overwhelming, but we will walk you through anything we can to help. We noted on the radiator, but when the fan and duct bolt to the radiator, watch for those little screws. They can easily get mixed up with longer screws and puncture the radiator.

I'm really disappointed that GM didn't update the 2019 Z06 with similar additional cooling radiators and air vents for the LT4. Z06 owners aren't trying to be ZR1 posers, rather they desire a fix to a well-known issue. GM went cheap during the Z06 introduction using the same front fascia opening dimensions used on the LT1 and that proved to be incorrect. Even if they didn't want to duplicate the ZR1 front fascia, why not extend the mouth opening to be closer to the C7R to allow for the auxiliary coolers to be added? From a pure looks perspective, I still like the Z06 front fascia better.

I agree that aftermarket would be the better option.

Okay so, just to confirm. The ZR1 front bumper will not just fit and bolt on to a regular C7? You need the hood, side fenders and the whole nine yards?

That is the one I would really like. It almost looks like the opening could be done as an insert to an oem front bumper. From another thread Deity is making a front bumper, but I haven't seen any progress over the last several weeks. I still would like to do the Gspeed cooling with a similar front bumper.

Right, you would need bumper, hood, fenders.

Here is the guys with the white car. This post is a concept and made with a graphics editor, not a real car yet.
