Update:

I've put a few miles on the car and discovered I was having fuel slosh issues with the Aeromotive tank. Hard cornering and acceleration with around a 1/4 of a tank resulted in hesitation or a complete stall.

I contacted Aeromotive to see if they had a solution to the issues and their response was to drive the car more gingerly and have the tank above 1/3 full. Frustrated with that response, I pushed the subject with them about taking the tank back for a refund. It was met with resistance since I was 1 week past the 1 year Summit Racing return/warranty period, and Aeromotive is convinced there isn't a design flaw with their tank. After a few emails, Aeromotive agreed to take the tank back. I'm glad they decided to make things right, and I ordered the new Rick's stamped tank with the Vaporworx Gen 5 Camaro fuel module.

I got everything installed yesterday and the setup is working great. Initial impression was how much quieter the fuel module is, in comparison to the Aeromotive pump. I put about a gallon worth of gas in the tank and it registered just slightly above empty on the gas gauge. I took the car out for some "spirited" driving, and I'm happy to report there were zero issues. I was actually concerned the gas gauge wasn't functioning properly, so I filled the car up afterwards. The gauge works fine and its nice to see the needle isn't jumping around anymore when taking off or cornering.

I've yet to find a negative post about this system, so I was pretty confident it was going to work. I'm glad to report another positive experience with the Vaporworx/Rick's Tank combo, and I highly recommend it. The stamped tank is reasonably priced ($995 shipped) and I picked it up from MCB.

The flat black works well with the paint scheme of the car:
