I'm considering converting my ZL1 to the 1LE package. Do you think with a little modification to the front canards, that I can be able to keep my DRL's?

The diveplanes / canards require a mounting bracket & reinforcement on the inside of the fascia. The pieces that replace the DRL "socket" have that bracket built into it. So I'd say "maybe", but unlikely...

It can be done but not with gm part. It be better to start with cardboard and make some type of template start from scratch. . You could ask the GT4 race team to send you a pair of there's.

Here this list incase you get board.. I came out pretty good.. I found the parts 400.00 cheaper through GMparts direct and Iamgmparts.com a lot lower than that gmpartsguy.. he would match but no biggie my dealer matched.. I got 750 towards gmparts and accessories when I bought my ZL1, sold DRL'S for 250, sold splitter, bezels, and grills for 500.00..

Thanks for are all the info you provided, this saves hours of chasing part numbers down. Is the fuel door an easy install? I think I may go for a z28ish look, like your pictures without the diveplanes.

Thanks for the info!

Glad to see the splitter is so cheap if/when I destroy it!

Hi!
First of all, excellent build you've got yourself there!
Second, I am new to the forum and been looking for the template for the dive planes so I can install them on my ZL1. Do you know where I can find the template or would you mind sharing?

I Don’t Know if anyone else has said this but the GT4.R has both the Canards and the DRL so wouldn’t it just be a case of order those canards instead of the 1LE ones if you want to retain the DRL ?

Thank you for this list. Unfortunately for me, the rear spoiler is no longer $2800...it's gone up quite a bit more.

Just for clarification, I am finding two different part numbers for the rear spoiler. Can you clarify which part number is for the exposed Carbon Fiber with Clear coat, basically the one which would match the exposed carbon fiber hood heat extractor? Just want it to match. Thank you for the help.

It seems for the GT4, they just added some universal canards on top of the standard ZL1 DRLs. The fit and finish is kind of raw as they just made it fit. And the bottom of the stock DRLs are still functioning under the bottom of the canards...?

I would like to get a Mosaic black ZL1 spoiler for my ZL1 1LE. Not a fan of the spoiler but I won't sell it either as I plan on keeping the car. I will wait and see if it grows on me but to me it makes the ugly third brake light stand out more

I think it's just a matter of time before some after market canards start showing up. I wouldn't be surprised if a company shows up to CamaroFest with some for the ZL1.

I like the ones from Anderson's, but you can't keep the DRLs with those either...
