Very nice car! The first 1LE I test drove was also Riverside Blue. That was my color of choice until GM announced that Rapid Blue was going to be available for the 2022 model year. Rapid Blue just looked so good on the 1LE I had to have it.

Thanks ZPirate! I forgot to mention earlier, other planned mods are:

- Lift pads
- Blue caliper paint
- K&N filter (just a drop-in, not a cold air kit)
- Mishimoto catch can
- Rock guards

And more subtle things along the way.

You are welcome. I've also done the ZL1 lift pads, the Mishimoto oil catch can and rock guards (along with side skirts). I highly recommend all of them.

Blue or red caliper paint would like good on your car. I personally like the contrast of the red with your blue car and black wheels, but blue would like nice too.

Installed my front license plate bracket today. The OEM bracket does not require drilling on 2019+. I'll be happy to help anyone installing these, it's pretty easy once you know what to do.

Here's a pic of the finished installation of my line out converter for the sub & amp.

Thanks Captain!! I went out to the garage tonight, and was able to get them changed out. You're right, it was a bit of a pain, but I worked in a lot of tight spaces in the 27 years I owned my 1994 Z28 as well. The first one took a while to accomplish, but the 2nd one took about 5 minutes. Looks better! I'll have to take better picture during daylight hours soon.

Does the state of Wisconsin require front license plates?

[DamonZ28]

Yes, they do, and yes, I received a fixit ticket years ago on my other Camaro, so I've run a front plate ever since.

Installed front bumper blue SS vinyl overlays from Phastek today. Not real impressed with the coverage. Still plenty of red showing around it. They look okay from a distance, but very obvious up close. Might end up just painting them, we'll see.

More pics of the smoked rear diffuser reflectors. The license plate is crooked.

That's a bummer. Not bashing your car at all, so please don't take it that way. I just hate that some states mandate it. It really takes away the aggressiveness of the front end, in my opinion.

Oh no, I didn't take it that way at all. I know many in Wisconsin who don't put theirs on, and I don't blame them. I just don't want the hassle.

I received the 3 month's complimentary subscription to Sirius XM starting today. It's for 3 months, so it expires in March. Not sure what good that's going to do me, since I won't hardly drive the car until March or April.
