Default Stupidity, let me count the ways

I have this whole week off from school and thought I would spend some time with the Vette. I'm going to do my first oil change and was thinking about making some side 'Z06 style' screens.

Well, I was making a template out of cardboard for the screens (behind the front wheels) and I accidently dropped the cardboard down the side vents. How in the heck can I get it out of there? Should I worry about it? What a goof...

Patrick :D :cheers:

You're gonna' need to take off the wheel well cover to install it in there anyway so just take it off now. There are just a few screws that hold it in. It actually has an opening on the bottom/lower/inside area that, if the car is up on ramps, you might be able to slide a pointer in and slide it out, but I would just pull the rear wheel well cover and pull it out. :yesnod:
