Should've stuck with the stock flywheel. Have them put one in now while it's still apart. You'll thank me later.

Installed a new air fuel gauge and zzp a pillar dual gauge pod.

The quality of the zzp gauge pod is mint. Matches the stock a pillar color and texture 100%.

That's good to hear. I'm going to get a dual pillar and interceptor soon and I was curious if the color and texture was like stock or not

Test fit 17" 2010 LT wheels (SS/NA in silver), they spin but I'm ordering spacers anyway. I sliced up a piece of paper I tried to fit in there.

Sweet! Me too! Also went and picked up my new radiator fan assembly and got the stock le5 endplate off the manifold to send off to ItalianJoe for swap with a DUAL PASS. Got the Option B ordered through Powell Race Parts and trying to find a boost gauge I like.

Stock boost gauge or Cobalt series is what I'd get.

I bought an Autometer SportComp2 mechanical. Closest you can get to OEM look IMO. I forget it's not stock most of the time.
Lights on

Lights off

Lights on (gauge can be brighter, I have it knocked down with a couple resistors)

Without the resistors it's unbearably bright at night, anything with LED backlighting will be that way. But I'd rather do this than have to replace bulbs.
