I’ll work on the C7R open lower bumper diffuser next after this project. Hope I can get the C7R wide fenders in time for SEMA.
with all the overheating going on, i would be much more focused on the nose and tail end of this car, and adding the openings for the coolers... THAT will sell you a lot of product very quickly, if you got that out in time for sema. The rear especially, because it takes the heat burden... and weight... off the front of the car to cool all the coolers. A lot of guys will be able to keep their stock nose, add the rear, and pick up 2 cooling spots for 2 new trans coolers, so they will remove the trans cooler from the front of the car and add an oil cooler there, or simply convert the trans cooler into an oil cooler at the nose. Its a very COST EFFECTIVE way to solve overheating very quickly and something most people could easily do at home.
The rear alone can solve 90% of peoples overheating issues, and leave their noses stock.
The rear should be a much less expensive part to supply. Very easy to add a couple rectangle cut outs and put a vent/screen over each, for the coolers to sit behind
As for my hope. I want to do the Gspeed cooling mod. I think the nose must be addressed.i do not care for gspeeds nose or LGs nose so this is exciting, but also agree if some of the cooling can be addressed at the rear of the car would be good as well.

My car has been at SEMA the last 2 years as well as on the front row of the Optima group pic for the OUSCI and I expect it will be again this year. If you need a guinea pig let me know.
Sub'd. The front bumper looks sick! Yes, this will be a hot seller assuming the price is competitive. I am not one for Carbon. I will take the same design in a material similar to OEM.
I hope you can provide a step-by-step instruction of how to install the ZR1 cooling and plumbing and have it married to this bumper. Hopefully we can use the existing Z06 nuts and bolts to make this happen.
P.s. I hope you have an assembly line ready because this bumper will be a hit! Hopefully you can also offer a painted option from the shop directly to the consumer.

zr1 cooling from factory cant work with the z06 blower, Fluid passes through zr1 blower twice, z06 blower once. Your options are left with LG or GSpeed cooling systems, they each have their step by step processes to installing their kits.
Swamped with filling orders. This is what I got as of last Wednesday. Will see if I have any more progress pics today. As far as cooling kit, you can use ZR1 coolers with a full LT5 blower swap or just making your own lines and pumps. Shouldn’t be too difficult since coolers can be adapted for personal kit easily.
Just waiting on more filler to come in today to add dividers to split the opening into 3 sections. Should have close to final form or done by the end of the week
Will this come with a separate splitter? Geiger has an intgrated splitter that looks like it would put the whole nose at risk of damage. Would also really like to be able to mount front cameras. I am thinking gspeed cooling mod and your nose on my Callaway and then that will be what a Callaway should be and look like.

will have brackets for front cameras, those are easy to do.
Just need to get more filler to add these highlighted divider to the opening and I can figure out where to mount the front cameras (middle opening or outer openings side)
It would be best to mount it in the middle opening. That is what Katech / TIKT cooling does as well. The ZR1 also has in the center grill.
I know all the engineering you've been doing is based on the ZR1 cooling. I know LG motorsports is looking at offering their front coolers to be paired with yours as well. What will work with this grill is the wide range of possibilities with different vendors and their cooling parts.
P.s. Would be great if you can someone photoshop this grill in different color for the Z06.

I know of a builder looking to build shrouds for twin integcoolers for turbos too. This design is very versatile for many cooling packages on the market.
