Default Just bought a Z06/Z07

I just drove this beauty home on Saturday. It is a Z07 spec'd car but didn't have the stage 3 front winglets installed so I just put them on yesterday. I found a thread here that recommended using hex head bolts for the front most bolt on the stage 3 winglet and that person was absolutely right. There was no way I was going to fit a torx bit on that front bolt to tighten them down. So if anyone else sees this and is interested in installing these themselves, GET 2 hex head bolts or you will struggle.

Anyway, here is a before and after picture. I think these things make a massive difference on the front end.

I've had mine for 6 weeks, and this car is soooo much fun - absolutely love it. My neighbor's son who is a real car enthusiast accused my car of being "a bad ***!" lol. Of course he's right.
