Default 09 Z06 Mods aero, seat(s), wheels

Made some changes. Latest pictures are not great quality but wanted to get some shots up. I've installed Apsis aero kit (picture pre spoiler), GS wheels powder coated black, Corbeau seat (1 to go). Have some work to do to finish the seat install (dangling stock belt...). This is a weekend driver destined to be a track car...

No mods from side:


GS Wheels and Aero pre-spoiler:


Better side picture but I hate shadows...


Apsis sideskirt to rear front guard nice fit:


close up of Apsis front splitter.


Side Skirt to splash guard detail.


Corbeau Seat installed driver side:


Forgot the Sharkbar...

Wow those GS wheels look so good, perfect example of a black Z. Good choice making the wheels flat black. Everything is perfect!

The spider wheels look soooooo much better than those black ones. All I can see is rust through those ugly black spokes...

Is that the FX1 Pro Corbeau seat? Same one I'm very interested in as well. Can you PM me the details on where you got it price and seat rail?

Thanks.

how did you get the front splash guards on with the zr1 sides? did you end up cutting the whole bottom section off? I'm still trying to figure out how to put mine on

Nice. Does Aspis sell the front support for the splitter or just the splitter? (The separate support piece that keeps the splitter from pushing the front facia down and creating the smiley face look at high speeds.)

I really like the GS black wheels myself. I have the stock chrome spiders if I need a change. The GS is one of those sensitive area's with some. Thx

The seat is the Corbeau FX1 seat. Very similar in dimensions to the Sparco EVO II. FX1 Pro is slightly smaller like the EVO. PM on where I got it on it's way.

The Apsis splash guards are a bit shorter and are already made to fit with the Apsis side skirts. You need to specify to Jersey/Apsis what your trying to do and they can help you get it right.

Not sure about lowering the car yet. That may be a longer term project. I agree it would look better. Next on the list is a Traqmate, then maybe Katech World Challenge hood, and I'd really like to get a set of Penske shocks that might be lowering time...rotor hats will be painted!

I did install the support. At the time I purchased (3 weeks ago) Apsis did not sell the fiberglass support. Katech does and it installs and fits perfectly. Install takes some time and care but not to difficult. You will need several extra screws and u-nuts. to install the splitter on a Z06

The car looks very sweet!!! Also for the record.... your wheels are not flat black... they are a satin(slight gloss) finish. I like them a lot!
