I replaced the entire air dam assembly. I had a nasty encounter with a low roll up curb and tore it badly. Fortunately no other damage. Finished the rest of the day detailing inside and out.

2 weeks ago did a 2500 mile roadtrip across the Southwest.
Last weekend replaced 5-year-old battery and original equipment alternator (bad V-reg).
This weekend freshened up the front and rear sway bars with new links and cleaned/greased bushings. Original end links weren't wasted, but were past their optimal service life.

Used Chadwick's Triple Play for a waterless car wash that took about twenty minutes… This stuff cleans, polishes and even repels dirt… It has a positive charge… unlike the static electricity that these cars have that attracts dust/ dirt. Also added some transfer decals with the words "Land Shark." My pet name for my car…

You can pull it out the top or push it over to the passenger wheel well if needed; it's a bit easier than pulling it past all the brake lines on the drivers side, just an FYI in case you didn't do it that way or anyone else reads this that is about to do the same job.

I saw posts saying that but they were also posts with most everything out of the front of the car for a supercharger install or similar. Once we pulled the upper rad hose & could get the abs module pulled way up, plus removed the frame clips for the abs hard lines, it went out the driver's side pretty OK.
Maybe we'll try putting it in from the passenger side just to see

Gave her a bath on Friday and then spent Saturday at COTA for the Corvette Invasion show and shine and today we were able to get on the F1 track for three hours. There were 300 or so corvettes for the track day. Was able to do 12 laps. Some were slow, but I able to do turns 2 thru 9 at a pretty good clip on six or so laps. They put a crash truck on the back straight because too many people would be pokey at turn 11 and let the pace car get way ahead and do a speed run to catch up. The track crew caught on to that pretty quick. I was able to get up to a 100 on the main straight a couple of times, as were many others. It was a blast.
