I cracked my ZR1 rear "extended" spoiler taking it off to try to adjust it. Damn double sided tape was like cement! Luckily, it is not bad, just a small 6" crack on the bottom of the spoiler. Crap. Fortunately, it is hardy noticeable, and doesn't affect it structurally. This gives me a reason to get the carbon fiber one instead!
Cost me $400 new + paint (gloss black), and I'll sell it to a local for $200 if anyone is interested.

I was hoping to hold off on buying wheels... but then I noticed this rebate... to include the Corsair series by CCW... http://www.weldwheels.com/ccwheel/rebate/
I may buy wheels sooner than I thought. Crap.

I wanted to do front fenders, wheels + tires all at the same time. Plus, moving drains funds pretty quick...
Oh, and I have no idea what offsets to get. I'm a wheel idiot when it comes to that kind of stuff.

You're rich, you drive a Corvette.... lucky for you, CCW knows what offsets you'll need. Besides, you already have fenders on it. Haha!!!

I'm not rich, I'm just very conscientious about my finances and prioritize.
I'll have to call up CCW/Weld for offset info and post in the Road Racer section about the wheel speed sensor and active handling work around with a squared setup.
And yes, it has fenders, but not enough fender up front to fit an 18x11 or 18x12... lol
