I replaced both wipers with new Bosch Icon wipers. A little on the spendy side but the stock are metal - flimsy and can scar the windshield. The Bosch are highly rated and are not made out of flimsy parts with no chance of scraping the windshield.

Sorry about that! It's been really dry here in this part of Canada, I took mine out to Walmart this morning, even though it was still below the freezing mark at the time (it's now closer to 50)

Your car looks magnificent! I was thinking about lowering mine, but I will wait until I'm in the right frame of mind. You know how that goes.

Gave it a good bath and cleaned the top with my new Raggtop kit. Went over the top with a lint rollor too. Plugged in my new Range AFM disabler and then put my new color matched satin stretch cover on it. Thats enough for one day!!

I just ordered the Z06 grill for mine. Should be here next week. Really nervous about popping the front cover off to install it though. Watched a couple vids. Seems fairly easy. Any advice on doing this swap? Things to watch out for?

Finally got the Akrapovic on today. First impressions are good but still tweaking the tip alignment.

The removal process is fairly straight forward. It's a little tricky getting the front positioned correctly when re-installing. I recommend getting a second set of hands to help. Need to be sure all the tabs are lined up and in the correct slots before applying pressure. I bent one of my tabs because I did not have help. Luckily it straightened out without breaking off.

I was thinking of going with the little spoiler that you show in one pic where it only covers below the rear window - I think it really highlights the lines of the rear of the car.
Thanks for the posting.
