Some Underhood Enhancements...
I had some pieces under my hood painted to change it up a bit. The Supercharger lid seemed to come out a different shade, not sure if it was just the difference in materials or what but overall I’m happy with it.

The only kit I know is from American Car Craft located in Florida BUT that kit is not really set up for a Z06. It is what I used but I had to modify some of the tubes. The kit is called the Vacuum Line Tuck Kit, 9 pieces for about $55. https://americancarcraft.com/?gclid=...FZZKDQodqzsAzA
The kit comes with a CD with the install instructions. They also sell many other things. I ended up buying a lot of their parts to go under the hood. I posted two pictures on the forum of the completed job but no one much seemed interested.
BTW, how did you do your photos to get such big pictures to show on the forum? All I could get to work were smaller pictures.

As far as the pictures, they were taken with an iPhone 8 Plus and uploaded via the iphone on the website. Not sure how they were so large.

Thank you! I found the kit and they do now make one for the Z06 according to RPI Designs. How hard was the install time? How long did it take?

The kit I got was supposedly for the Z06 but the CD with the kit really seemed to either be for an older car or for the Stingray. I have a 2016 and the kit simply did not totally match up to my car. I ended up calling American Car Craft for install help but the guy wasn't as much help as I hoped. I had to buy some extra tubing and cut some of my tubes to length. I would guess the whole job, in total, probably took me about 8 hours but I am a super klutz. Also I had other pieces from American Car Craft such as the supercharger cover and that entailed more work hiding the wires there so that the cover would go over them all. I also bought a window hood so when you see the hood you can look in and see the supercharger cover. Sort of like the hood on the old ZR1.
