Less than 200 miles and the body is cracking

I hadn't logged onto the forum since my last post when I unsubscribed to this thread. I thought this post would have died by now, but as I was reading some of the posts on the 1st page I came across it.
I couldn't give a rat’s *** what other people think about me, my car, or anything else in my life. It was dumb of me to think the car was cracking. I acknowledged that within minutes after the 1st response to my op. If I cared what people thought about me, I would have deleted the post when I still had the time to do so.
Anyhow, I am not going to leave the forum because some members insult other members to make up for whatever is lacking in their miserable lives. I see a lot of posts and pictures on this forum about members’ cars that I think are dumb or fugly. You know what I do? I look at them and move on if I don’t have anything constructive to say without having to insult the person.
I do more reading than posting. If I post too often I get sucked down the forum rabbit hole and before I know it, I've wasted several hours of my day. I recently ordered a Z06 grille and front splitter. I am taking the splitter to a local carbon fiber shop to have it wrapped in real carbon fiber composite and sprayed with a clear coat. I will post some pictures when it is done.

Talk to the guy about the splitter. True carbon fiber is near impossible to repair and match the original weave. Why a lot of us get them in carbon flash which can be easily repaired.

Here is a sample of his work wrapping and clear coating.

Here is a front diffuser wrapped before the clear coat was applied.

Ignore the dicks. Like you said their lives are so miserable the only way "up" for them is to bring others down.... It's a great place to learn and have a few laughs. But it shouldn't be at others expense.

From my experience, the most likely time you'll crack/break a front splitter is when you're parking front end first which is why I always back into a parking spot.

Gotcha.....I actually had my front lip wrapped in my previous car because I ran over a piece of tire on the highway and cracked it on one side. He repaired it and wrapped it for only a little more than what it would have cost me to buy a new one.

You're joking right?
