Winter Add Ons

[YFCvii]

Part 1 of my 3 part project done. Spoiler went on fairly easily. You do have to remove a big chunk of the rear..
On to the splitter now.

OK @turbozig ... I think you have a "been there supervisor" for your back spoiler swap-out ... OMG
Please take a photo of the back side of the tail lights as I want to swap mine out with
Z06 white lights one Winter in the Future and wonder if I need to pop the back panel off
to do it ... (better yet - invite me to help) ... thanks.

You'll have to remove the facia to get at the lights...it's not a big deal. Just take your time and remember were all the screws go. Lights are held on with 4 screws.
I'll be removing mine again to put my LED cornering lights in.

Thanks Derek, it sure changes the look...

It really does. The splitter will balance out the look well. The carbon flash looks great against your red too.

Well the last of the “add ons” for this year.
The fuel stablizer is in and the car is ready for a quick clean and off to bed till spring. Thought I was done already but couldn’t resist that last run to Big Valley last weekend.
More stuff coming but that will wait till spring to put on now.

Looking good Derek. All those ideasyou have giving me.

 

[Jeffer2013]

hate you all

 

[Black 03 Z06]

Derek you had the whole thing apart!

A dumb question maybe but is the carbon fibre all the same pattern?

Yes it’s roughly the same Murray. The hood vent is a slight different colour and weave
than the factory hood insert which is mildly annoying. It’s right up against it so a bit noticeable.
The rest of the stuff seems to match the weave and colour on the factory carbon fibre parts quite well though.
Different vendors will have slight differences but nothing really distracting from what I see as they are spaced out on the car.

I think all I have left coming now is the fuse box cover... and the car is “almost” done with carbon fibre add ons. (Outside)
Never actually done though are we...
I have an experimental order coming in for the wheel center caps as well... more on that later.

Thanks for the explanation Derek. Car looks really good.

 

[Rick9456]

Got this far today... I can see this being a bit harder to install than the spoiler.
Looks better already though.

 

[ddgermann]

Oh yeah... that’s going to look good

Working on the Carbon Fibre exterior of the Driver of that Car too. A Jacket, Bow Tie, Belt, shoes and hat

Good to know with the hood vent as I am wondering about doing the hood on mine too ... but all in good time ...

Here’s options for “the lid” Derek for pleasure and for Work

 

[ddgermann]

I’m liking at least 2 of those Spence.

I found putting on the ACS front splitter pretty easy. Didnt bother using all of the rivets they supplied...only about half and the rest the original OEM screws from the poverty splitter. But it sure looks good. Especially with the stage 3!!!! (thx derrick...!!)

 

[ddgermann]

Yup those canards look great Frank. They matched up well to the ACS splitter too

 

[Rick9456]

I'm hoping mine turn out as nice frankmp. so far so good here. I can see what you mean about rivets. more rivets than holes.

 

[Rick9456]

Went better than I thought. Still need to make a slight adjustment to the driver side canard. Sits up about 1/8"
Other than that it's a sweet package... it drastically changes the looks.
