Default 3D printing?


Can anyone with a 3D printer reproduce the side gill 90 black rub strip. and have it say ZR-1 maybe with the bow tie? it is the same part 84 to 90. The attachment points on the inside may be a challenge. Would be a cool project for all 84-90 cars to be able to customize what they want on it.

Ok, I checked on Mirrock website and here's what I found :

Both the 1991-1994 and the 1995-1996 fender panels have the center molding trim molded into the part and is not removable like the 84-90 panels.

In my case, the strip is part of the the fender panel, I won't be able to remove them for deeper analysis...I would need to get my hands on a 84-90 fender

I'll leave the project to someone else I think unless I manage to get my hands on a cheap junkyard part locally.

TY... Correct in 91 they dropped the black rub strip and went with a completely different color molded body trim.
