Just pulled into a parking spot to meet my wife for lunch. Pulled up too close to the freaking curb and now my bumper cover has a rash. Made me sick!

99.9% of the time I stay a good foot away from the curb. It only takes 0.1% of the time to screw up.

You're not the Lone Ranger there! I'll bet Glen has a quick fix for that. I'm all too familiar with that headache.

I know I can fix it...just irritated with myself right now. Ugh

It's amazing how far that nose sticks out. I'm just going to back into any spot.

Good idea

Sorry Jag! Knowing you, when fixed, will be perfect, and only this forum trip will tell the tale.

This is the first mod I will be doing on our Z06. Can one imagine the repair bills on a visible carbon fiber Z06 splitter.

Got more of it than I thought at first...

That's the last time I do this. Backing in from now on.

That sucks! The stingray nose usually clears most parking stops but I pulled up too far on a non standard sized stop and it rubbed the plastic skid plate but no paint damage gladly! Lesson learned at 300 miles. Parking lots are a nightmare for me. If a place such as restaraunt or store doesnt have a wide open parking lot with plenty of room I just wont eat or shop there. Something I have to factor in everytime i go somewhere

That is the Exact reason the Curb Alert was my VERY FIRST mod! I did the same thing on my 2004 Spyder on the way home from picking it up from the dealership. Made a quick stop at a store and OUCH! Learned my lesson and decided it would not happen with the Vette. Curb Alert is CHEAP insurance.

 

[jagamajajaran]

Yep, adding curb alert just for insurance.

Jeremy; The only thing worse than something happening to your car is when you do it yourself. I unfortunately know this feeling all to well. Take it easy on yourself and just get it fixed up.

 

[jagamajajaran]

The bottom line is that I need to be sure to stay at least a foot back 100% of the time and not 99.9% of the time. lol

The problem with the splitter is if you hit it, it will punch back and rip the facia , not scrape , as you hit it head on. A curb alert is mandatory or stopping way short each time.

Definitely do NOT want that happening. What vendor has the best price/product?

This was also my first mod after a week of having my C7. It was a relatively easy process if you see the video and tag the heater fuse in the engine compartment.

Sorry about the curb rash! It looks awful but I know you will heal the baby soon.

Cheers
