Guys wheres the least expensive place to go with a GM factory type full length rear spoiler. Cant do $600 CF, so just VR is fine. I found a ZR1 type painted in (your color choice) from PFYC for $310.. But yours in the previous post is different.

Thanks, it's an 09. Had to look around a lot to get it. Finally found it the way I wanted, but it was in Ohio. Shipped it home to Nevada and loving it.

Oh and you guys all have beautiful Z's! Actually I ended up with 78 months at 5.6% !!.. because of my credit rating and the low miles.. They really worked hard for me because if I was 15 minutes late to meet the finance manager they had 3 other guys from Alberta and B.C pre-approved for the price I got it for. I was the first to find it online before it arrived by semi to Winnipeg and the first to go through the credit app. If I waited till the next day (June 30th) I would of been 3rd in line and not have the Z!

Very nice car. You mentioned that your budget was pretty tight, but I would recommend you delay some of the appearance purchases and instead spend a little money on getting the heads checked, and rebuilt if necessary.

There's so much in the audio system that works in conjunction with the rest of the car...I wouldn't change it if it were mine. The nav unit gives directions in the HUD unit as well as interacting with the sound system when giving verbal instructions for directions etc. If it doesn't work, sometimes the system needs t be reflashed by the dealership. Otherwise, you can buy another head unit off the forum for less than $400 sometimes which may be less than paying someone to fix it. Good luck and stay pumped.

Thanks, I really don;t need NAV and there are harnesses from DD mods for aftermarket HU's.. tons of guys have done them.. I dunno..moneys tight till August, doing the heads next year. I'm not gonna worry about the engine exploding... gonna do a wiggle test on them during my holidays next in 10 days.
