Very nice touch. It really completes the body kit. Could be one of the nicest black TA's I've seen.

I'm wondering the same thing. Shouldn't it make less power and get you lower mileage?

I know it's off topic but what does a gallon/litre of E85 go for in Sweden?

I like the mesh. Your car looks outstanding!!

There is a BIG movement in Sweden converting gas cars to E85, due to the gas prices over here. ( Gas 12,3 sek/litre vs. E85 6,9 sek Litre)

Thousands of cars have been converted... And ethanolfactorys are being built.

hmm, what do you have to change in the fuel system and engine besides the tuning to run E85 in your LS1? I keep hearing that E85 is not good for gaskets or rubber fuel lines, but I have no idea.

That does look good. How did you mount them? What does DragonZ's mesh look like? I did the Gutter Guard route on my '02 Z when I ditched the grille and it didn't look too bad.
