They were supposed to deliver the SS with the Spectre Werkes rear fascia installed yesterday, but true to form for body shops, no one showed up at the shop to work.
The fascia is completly painted and looks great. All they need to do is install it and the car will be ready. Over two weeks for this mod and still counting. I'm going through serious Z06 withdrawals. At least I have the forums to keep me company. However, I'd rather be out driving!!

David, I don't know what it is with body shops. I was hit by a nun in my dad's TR8 when I was younger (she ran a red light -- gives new meaning to the term "flying nun"). The car was pretty much wrecked, but my dad didn't want to scrap it. Anyway, to make a long story short, the bodyshop had that car FOREVER. I figured it was in their best interest to get it done and get paid, but...
I can't figure it out. It seems like some of these jobs are either "too small" (too frivolous to bother at first?) or "too big" (they might get too many other quicker turnaround jobs where they'd get paid faster to bother starting a long project?). Either way, I can't find rhyme or reason to why these bodyshops do what they do.

Took the car to MSRH this afternoon to see just how the C7 Z07 19/20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s would handle the cool winter weather.
Took a laps or 2 to get up to temp and after that they were very predictable.
But I think the larger rolling diameter of the 19/20's is throwing the Active...
Hard to believe its been 17 years of ownership, 112000 total miles - 5 years, 82000 miles & 2 LS6s, 12 years & 30000 miles on the LS7 Z07 upgrade, 5 sets of wheels later and we still enjoy this car immensely.

I like the look of the OEM C6 guards and want to install a set on my C5-I know there are carbon fiber ones out there but they seem too large to me. I can't seem to find a vender that sells them for a C5-the only thing I have seen is people modifying the C6 versions to fit a C5. Anybody know of a...
