I rather have my ***** ripped off my body with a pair of vise-grips than ever go thru this again. I'm writing this becuase I lost my patience and had to leave the garage before I go get my shotgun and shoot my car.

Think you've got it bad, I've got to pull my brand new engine to check out an oil pressure issue..the steering column is leaning up against the wall in the garage waiting to be painted....the hood is off to start some of the fiberglass repairs....

Easy, adequate, inexpensive solution (in a lot of cosmetic cases).

Cali,
You can get those ***** new for $10 each. If you order from Corvette Central before tomorrow they have free shipping. (I didn't check their prices but I paid $20 for two a year ago). Mine were painted and looked pretty crappy. New ones look a treat.
