it looks like the rear fascia has a spoiler on it. if you press the fascia, it it flexible or is it hard?

Congrats on the purchase. Looks like a nice one. sorry about the snow (it's in the 70's here in South Georgia so I'm still using my Vette as an everyday driver).

Those damn kids! Looks like they really hit your neighborhood bad with those cans of tree snow!

Looks nice. Now for the winter mods....

I checked out another C5 in the parking lot at work today and I'm pretty sure mine as the stock rear on it. I see what you're talking about in the picture but I think its just a trick of the lighting. I would say down around the lettering it has a little bit of flex to it. More then the C3 does anyways. Of course I am not sure if the C3 was ever rear ended either. I'm the 5th owner of that car... lol

I'm going to give the C5 an oil change and all that this weekend and I would like to use Mobil 1. Is 51k miles to much to do a switch to full synthetic if the last owner was using dino oil? Or is there a way to figure out what the last owner used short of sending a sample to a lab to get tested? I want to avoid any problems that might pop up from making the switch to late... I think it should be ok. 51k on a 5 year old car means it wasn't a garage queen and I don't think there should be to much sludge and gunk holding the oil in right now but you guys are a lot closer to being the expers then I am...
