I'm 6'4, and not scrawny, so it's an issue for me too. Where is the power recline motor located?

Re: Changing Early ZR-1 Instrument Panel to Late One
Not that I've driven it that much yet, but I can't say it was perfectly comfortable there. Did you lose any headroom with the swap?

Re: Changing Early ZR-1 Instrument Panel to Late One
Not that I can tell.. I have more head room with the transparent roof vs the Painted roof due to the headliner

While I am not in love with orange and gray either it seems like a heck of lot just to escape the clashing colors. I understand, but there are far better mods that can be made that will give more bang for the buck. The orange and black somehow looks quite a bit better. Keep us posted if you make the change!

I concentrate a lot on the things I connect with every time I drive. Wheel, seat, shifter and, of course, gauges. I do have a touch of colour blindness in around the line between green and grey. So maybe the grey colour with the yellow looks particularly bland and cheap to me. It just seems a relatively easy and inexpensive mod, that will make every drive more enjoyable.

Hurst shift knob Shift Light Additional straps under the seat cushion Cupholders that hold a real cup Sonar Like Radar Detection Sirius XM Radio Capability Sun visors that do not droop at the ends Calibration of the tach Speaker rebuilds Your driving experience will be so greatly enhanced that you will no longer focus on the yellow / gray situation.

2) Never needed a shift light. 3) Thinking of removing the existing straps 4) Don't drink in my Corvette 5) Radar Detectors big time illegal up here 6) I've had XM in my last three cars and never used it. The sound quality is dreadful for music. And I do pod casts for talk. Bluetooth or an auxiliary input would be nice. 7) My visors are fine. No visor Viagra needed here 8) Never thought about it. Will have to figure out if mine is off 9) Rebuilt fronts in the garage awaiting installation. Rears and deck go next. Nope. None of those will come close to making up for truly lousy gauges. Something that I use constantly.
