I installed the new splitter that I purchased. I like how it looks. The rattle can "Arctic White", while it matches the GM paint codes is not as white as the car is. So eventually I will repaint it.
The splitter is no lower than the black plastic air dam pieces were. I am just going to have to be careful
Tomorrow I am going to start installing the camber brace.
I don't have photoshop, just "paint" that comes with windows. Quick and dirty, but it works. If I had photoshop, I would put something cool there instead of just doing what I did.
Maybe I will get a fake license plate like the magazines, shows, businesses use when they take photos and cover the plates.
What firmed up your belief in hiding your plate? I tend to drive around in public with mine.
on an internet forum, where all can see, there are all kinds of idiots perusing the web, looking for any opportunity at all to cause mischief. same as with firearms, you don't post any information that could either provide a clue for a burglary or to have some whiney a** lib get you "swatted".

They could probably just trace your IP address if they were really that interested in finding you. All semblance of privacy is long gone these days. Your phone tracks you and listens to you, most apps are watching what's going on through your internet, it's sort of a moot point nowdays unless you go off the grid. But doing that probably gets you put on a watch list, lol.
It is just the random kids etc perusing the web. Anyone that is technically savvy enough to hack the forum and capture an IP address is above that pay grade. I doubt anyone is going to hack Corvette forum to simply grab IP addresses, they are going after something else. There are bigger fish upstream on the servers of the folks that actually own Corvette forum than your or my IP address.
If it is so bad about me hiding my license plate, maybe all of you post yours, along with your address and phone nbr's.

Nobody said it was "bad". Disturbingly paranoid, maybe. I was just wondering if there was really some reason to be worried.
As it would take a connection with the state highway department to get anything from my plate, they're above "pay grade" for my concerns.
But then, I AM an *** lib, friend.
And in case you were asleep, the current administration just gave away all your personal private web information to the highest bidder.

We will all be required to have chips implanted under our skin before long. Yes, it has already started......
Plate numbers are good for CarFax reports but not much else unless you are LEO and have access to the DMV database. Even then you won't get too much that isn't easily available somewhere else.
We should all get along and be one big happy family instead of bickering with each other, we all own the best cars every made.
With that being said, some people hide their license plates because some DMV's allow you to look up information based on them supposedly, so someone could get your home address and phone number.
Privacy isn't a big deal here though, as they don't even privately register the domain corvetteforum.com. You can do a whois on it and suddenly realize this website isn't own by someone who likes Corvettes, as they also own a pro ford website, a pro lexus website, and of all things, a pro honda site.

Grr I was going to become a gold member, but now I'm having second thoughts.
I am glad someone else decided to "out" them. I had thought about it when I had a "discussion" with a company member and it caused me to do some research as to why they were "securing" forum member photographs that were uploaded.
If you chase the chain far enough uphill and then do a lookup on the business plan, you will realize what the ulterior purpose of these forums really are.
I used to belong to a travel trailer forum. An incident caused me to look up and chase the chain and I found out that the website, as well as others in the "enthusiast community", was owned by a company that did data mining and provided fixes back to the sponsoring companies so they could let the user community do their QC for them and provide them their fixes to their defects.
I confronted one of the members asking him/her if the "persona" they had created wasn't just one of the company's and they were actually an employee of the company acting as a shill to keep the discussions going.
There was utter silence as the answer. I would suspect, that there are company people on this site. CF is not data mining back to any company (from what I found) but does have a purpose that is generating income for multiple parties, the owners included of course. They are not doing it out of love for the cars as you said.
I spent 28 years in IT and found out that people that work with the web have an inflated opinion of themselves and think that no one can find out about them or hack their site, etc, when in fact there are legal and proper tools (such as "whois") that allow you to see the registered owner. Then all you have to do is keep hopping the chain until you find the parent company.
Once you pull up the skirts you will disappointedly surprised. Just like my classmates back in high school who picked up a "woman" one night and were really surprised.
We will see how long these 2 posts last and if you and I get offed electronically for spilling the beans so to speak.

I sure hope I don't get in trouble Of any car forum I've been on, I honestly think this place is the nicest. The z31 drivers were all stuck on themselves, and the G35 people were more helpful but not quite as much as this place is. I've learned so much here already!
New splitter installed
Looks good, watch out for dips, and road hazards.
