Trunk Lid Question....
For all of you that own either a Z06 or vert C5......Does your trunk lid have 1 shock or 2???? I bought my car about 2 years ago with 5,000 miles and I just realized mine only has 1. Are they all like that or is my situation unique?

maybe they changed it or Z's different. If it has the brackets and holes, maybe missing.

I thought all C5 Z06s and C5 Verts had 2......maybe there is a place for the other one on your trunk lid and someone took it out to replace it and never did

They switched to one gas spring for a while, then switched back to two.

I once saw an '04 in the showroom with one shock and questioned it. But didn't get any answers from the salesman there's a big surprise. Just kidding! Anyway I haven't seen one like it since.
