I am going to do a black trash bag attempt on it to see if I like it on the next live stream via IG. Maybe I will start doing YouTube Livestreams.

Got some behind the scenes shots of my phase #1 update thanks to Troy at CMS. Old cam out, new cam in, nasty heads, new double springs and more.

Think YouTube would be cooler...I get a billion notifications of random people going live on IG or maybe FB

Question: Why not just put the money you invested into a zl1?.

Turnkey 655hp machine.

So does anyone know if ACS sells the spoiler for the Camaro SS in a gloss black? I know they give an option for painted or unpainted but the 2 black colors aren't really specific on the site as to what sheen they are

They do, I asked. I had the same questions as you and wanted gloss black to match diffuser, splitter and side skirts. I've since decided on Blue Velvet for mine with a splash of gloss black all done here locally.

*Edit* I agree the price is a little salty but until a competitor comes out and offers the same at a more affordable price it's all we have. I also like RPI's but you have to drill additional holes which creates problems should you want to go back to stock. Pick your poison

Do you have to call and special order it? The carbon black metallic looks pretty close to gloss black in Lethals YouTube vid, but I'm not sure how well it would match the regular gloss black. That being said I wish we had some cheaper options. $900 is tall order for a simple deck lid spoiler..

It's has Metallic flakes in it and does not match other than its gloss black with sparkles. I know when I inquired I was told they do have and offer gloss black and just call in when I order

Because what I am doing will provide a faster car for cheaper and it will be unique.

It looks like he has been enjoying his car for quite some time without waiting for a ZL1, and we have been enjoying his videos.

Video didn't show it, but was wondering whether your installer checked valve spring height and shimmed if needed?

They already did the checks on their 2016 Camaro SS shop car, and ordered to spec.

Did you have your throttle controller turned up when you ran the ZL1 or what setting were you at?

After tuning the car the TC was removed.
