Back Again!!!

Jaws12 · 07-13-2010, 03:27 PM

Well, I bought another Z as I tired of the Vette again.

I must admit, I love this little car. Handling is superb.

Just a quick question. Do those of you that have the Sport Package constantly scrape the lower front spoiler?

I have been scraping constantly. I spoke to my parts department and they said the part is roughly $400. Seems awfully expensive for that little front spoiler, but I want to buy an extra one just in case.

Scrapes all the time. The price is much lower on Courtesy Parts: $211.17

Once you've drilled out the rivets to remove the old one, just install the new one with some nuts and bolts.

hah, welcome back

Jeffblue · 07-13-2010, 04:29 PM

yea it scrapes, but who cares, its matte plastic with no finish. If it gets scraggly i'll take it off, sand it down, and put it back on.

Welcome back!

Yea, it not a big deal you would hardly notice it gone.

I just reread back through your "farewell" thread from last year.

So looking back to your decision to get rid of your first Z, and then again to your decision to come back:

- You noted the power difference between the vette and the Z. Was it that you were just not able to get everything out of the vette as a DD as compared to the Z?

- Was your decision purely vehicle oriented or were there financial variables at play?

- Under what circumstances would you have stuck with the vette, or never left the Z?

- Knowing what you know now, would you have left the Z in the first place? Would you have chosen a different car than the vette to upgrade to?
