Stance looks really good.
How do you like the coilovers?
The coilovers make normal and sport mode a little stiffer, but I like it that way. It's actually in the shop this week to readjust the raise the rear. I have micro-rubbing when I hit big dips when I first get on crappy bridges that have huge lips at the beginning and end of them.

I feel like that should take care of the rubbing and should help match the wheel gap in the front. It shouldn't change the stance of the car much or at all. As long as I can't fit my knuckles through the gap when laying my hand flat, it'll be fine.

Manifold and injectors are installed. It's running great without issues.

Awesome build! Are you running port injection without a tune? If so, what controller are you using and have you noticed any gains using it?

Found who is stealing all the available parts. Excited to watch this build. You will have to let me know what you think of the rear zl1 mud flaps works with being lowered. I only used the hks springs but they were scraping on big bumps.
I have ZL1 in my car with aggressive HKS adjustable spring , didn't give me any issue at all

I'm not running port injection yet. I just have the injectors mounted to plug up the holes. I'm waiting for the ECU to get unlocked before I mess around with fueling.

Decided to go with a Satin finish rather than a matte finish for all the carbon pieces. This is how it's turning out so far.

Auto Arts also decided to cut a groove to fit over the A91 spoiler in the mounts rather than chopping up the spoiler.

Got the ride height readjusted today. I also customized the ride height sensor in the front and replaced a stripped screw from one of the coilovers.

Here's a shot of how the wing was mated to the spoiler.

Added some custom caps to the bottom side of the wing with stuff I grabbed from Lowe's and Ace Hardware. Screw caps, small metal washers (to fit inside the screw caps), and neoprene washers to put on the underside to prevent plastic on plastic and create a good seal.

Also here is a before and after of the engine bay. I began modding this car in May of this year. This is the progress so far. I still have some work to be done. I want to change out all the rads eventually.
