FNBADAZ06 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Tight. Does any one make the rocker skirts and front splitter in carbon? The OEM ZR1 stuff is carbon fiber, and many 3rd party companys offer ZR1 replica's and styles very similar. Because I perferred the splitter and skirts painted, going the carbon fiber route didn't make sense spending the money. THere are quite a few ZR1 owners taking off their cf front splitters and putting cf wrapped fiberglass units on so they don't destroy their originals and the fiberglass one's are about 1/3 the cost to replace.

FNBADAZ06 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 This thread is getting old. How long does it take to paint a car anyway? The car did not make it to the detail shop yesterday as planned. They were "nibbing" (sp ?) the paint yesterday and by the time they finished with the polish it was too late. I guess "nibbing" is the process of removing any defects ( read dust or other airborn particles) that may have settled onto the topcoat before it hardened. I had noticed a few areas earlier in the QA review/process that looked like a piece of lint had stuck to the clear coat, so they were taking care of that and any other's they could find. They then use 3M's Perfect-It and Finesse-It polishes to finish the job before going to detail. Supposed to be done with detail today, but I'm currently sitting in the airport awaiting my flight for a business meeting so I won't be able to pickup the car until Friday morning when I return to Phoenix. The fiasco with the glass company cost me a few days, but as long as the car meets my expectations (and it has), I'll be happy to pick it up Friday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wished it would have been ready for the ralley but the car needs the clear bra before any other driving events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
