Those mats that come standard in the SS and ZL1 are so cheap and for the cost of a ZL1 it would make sense to put good floor mats in them from the factory.
Thanks for reminding me. I do have a set of the ZL1 floor mats. I only use them at car shows and not for everyday use. I let the cheap standard mats get all the abuse.

You tinted the entire windshield?

Funny this comes up. I looked at a 911 Carrera yesterday that had the windshield done in 70%. I really couldn’t tell.
Then the owner of the shop showed me a display he had.
It was an open box with a bright light going through a piece of glass that was half clear and half 70% Xpel tint. I put my hand under the light. It was hot. Like felt like my hand was starting to burn.
And I work on heavy equipment for a living so I’m well versed in heat on my hands.
He slid the glass over to the tinted side. Holy crap. My hand cooled right off. It was really a massive difference. I’m sold and am going to have this done.
They say it reflects 86% of the infrared heat.
Obviously it must reduce the heat in the cabin greatly.

They told me inside. Actually Xpel has a better tint for the windshield that reflects something like 97% of the heat. I guess it’s WAY more money though. The tint guy told me just to stay with the one that does 86%.

Here are the changes I've made to my car.
  • Wheels
  • GM dark tail and brake lights
  • Oracle ghosted side markers
  • Window Tint
  • Carbon fiber steering wheel, shift knob, shifter bezel cover and dash pad
  • Red AC air vent trim rings
  • Chevy Performance Alcantara console lid
  • Sunvisor warning label covers
  • Carbon fiber radiator plate
  • Custom painted engine caps
  • Custom painted supercharger lid
  • Custom painted coil covers
  • Carbon fiber radiator overflow tank cover
  • Custom painted strut covers
  • Fuse box cover plate
  • Custom painted trunk panel fillers

Still to come:
1. Windshield washer tank and brake fluid reservoir covers.
2. Carbon fiber skinned air intake lid

As a side note, the shifter bezel cover I got off eBay is made of real carbon fiber (not hydro dipped) and matches the other interior CF perfectly.
Hey brother where did you get the strut caps bolt caps on strut towers

There are a couple of places that sell them. I originally purchased a plain billet set from Southern Car Parts.

The custom painted set I currently have on my car came from Rivercity Creations

Thanks. I'm not affiliated with Esoteric other than I've spent a lot of money with them. They installed the window tint, paint protection film and ceramic coating on my car. I also purchased the HRE wheels and Michelin PS4S tires from them. They posted a couple of videos of my car to their YouTube channel. In March I had my new Blazer into them for paint correction, PPF, and ceramic coating. I guess you'd call me a pretty good customer.

I think his site has a typo error and omits the 1LE part. It fits the ZL1, not the ZL1 1LE.

lose the ZL1 spoiler...just my opinion. I think it looks terrible. I put on a GM blade spoiler color matched to the car.
