Just gorgeous man.

A family friend just traded her black Z/28 in for a C8...sigh. I don't know the mileage at trade in, but they gave her $50k for it. I would NEVER trade in or sell a 5th gen Z.

Finally after about a year like you said, here they are!! When I went to their site to look one day last week, there was only 1 left!! ORDERED!!! lol. Looks like 2010 already answered your question.. I still haven't installed mine yet, been too stormy everyday, she stays covered up.

Yep i contacted them also a while back and was told they were making one!So i got my order in, I also pulled my heritage grill off the shelf and did some paint work like your!, I am changing my bumper cover back to a OEM one and figured i try that grill.Also just got a brand new set of ZL1 side skirts to play with LOL. Friday going to the wrapper to have bumper done and maybe the side skirts if my carbon fiber wrap is here! Thanks on the engine compliment! You are quite the inspiration!

Very awesome my friend!! Sounds like you have a plan going on. Also many thanks for the love and kind words! I love to inspire folks in a positive way!! These are what I did to the rear to finish the look of the ZL1 skirts.

Thanks brother!! I was shocked to say the least! From that day forward I was addicted to the "car show" scene! To date we have about 29 different trophies, plaques and awards for just about everything that you can get something for. Was really fun!!

Installed my GPI ported rod mod intake today. She runs like a beast. I didn't really get to open her up yet, as it started raining. But man it felt great to drive her for the first time since early June.

But once again, all my AC refrigerant leaked out while it was parked. I have been chasing this leak since I did my engine swap/compressor swap in 2019. Back in May I replaced the service ports on both the high and low side, but apparently that wasn't it. When I put the new Delco compressor in I changed all the line seals, but I cannot remember if I lubricated them. Looks like I am going to do them again. I don't think its the condenser and am praying it's not the evaporator...that would suck. I have a good UV light and figure I will just re-seal it, vacuum it, recharge and add some dye. I am trying to avoid bringing it to a shop, as I know that can get mighty expensive when looking for leaks. I also know that would probably be the intelligent thing to do.

That is awesome about the intake but sucks about your ac. Hope it is something stupid. Do you have to log it & send it back to Ryan or not needed?

It's not required to retune, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. I am going to wait and do a few more things, including an AFR setup so he can get the tune a bit tighter.
