The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) VIII

JARblue

I also took care of some crappy undercover on my wife's Acura that broke. I don't see why I should have to pay the $50 for the part on a leased vehicle. You can see the two tabs on the left side of the piece just broke. They said that something must have hit it, but after crawling under the car, I don't see how that's possible. It is well protected with no exposed front or edges, and the design seems like anything bouncing under the car would just skim off the bottom of the cover

The lady tech tried to be nice by offering me free install when the part came in, but since they don't do scheduled appointments, it would just be more hassle for them to do the 5 min install. My wife would have to drive the manual Z in lots of traffic during her commute if we trade cars during the week. Saturdays are super busy at the dealership, which I already know because I was there at 8 am sharp (when they open) and had to wait 45 min for them to look at the car for a couple of minutes and tell me which part needed to be ordered. It was 3 bolts and 3 clips (might be 4 - I'm going to check with the dealership by phone tomorrow), and it took me 5 minutes to jack up the car, 5 minutes to remove and replace cover, and 5 minutes to find the camera to take the photo
