For the Z06, new grille, lower chin spoiler, front bumper cover repaired and repaint. Repaired to like new conditions within five days of returning home. $760.00, but boy did we have a lot of laughs and a damn good time! The 1st place autocross trophy is on the shelf!

Unfortunately 4 Corvettes in a 3 car garage was one Vette too many...
