[2SS Capt]

I was considering (for a short time) getting the 2nd Gen OEM Ground Effects on my 2020 2SS, but the front splitter stuck out so far the FIRST thing I thought of is "some prick is going to step on that in a parking lot somewhere..."

Needless to say, I passed on the ground effects...

Sorry that it happened to you, some people are just losers and can't leave other's property alone out of sheer jealousy...

Sorry to hear this. Haters suck! You work your as* off for something and some jerk who doesn't pulls crap like this.

I have family in Macon and Milledgeville, most folk in GA. are great people. Stay positive.

Best of luck. It's basically a flesh wound. Your insurance will cover it.

I "coned" mine at my first autoX. The replacements from GM are surprislingly reasonable. I've been driving around with it in my trunk for a year now. Seems like it will be somewhat difficult to remove the damaged one and install the fresh one. I want to do it but don't really have the time so for now, it's a battle scar. Goes nicely with the cone rash in front of the rear wheels on both sides. :-)

It’s a tight fit for your hands to get to. The bezel has tabs that are inserted into slots. Plastic clips go on the backside of the tabs to hold the bezel in place.., if I can do it, anyone can

It was about 60 from GM.. glad it wasn’t carbon !!!

The first is the canard, second are the retaining clips. Just went through this myself... Very reasonably priced..

It's true, I can only imagine what it's like driving a very expensive car like a Ferrari or McLaren. If a ZL1 brings out that kind of hate, exotics must make haters insane and the cost and hassle of damage to cars like that is so much worse. If you own a car like that, you should be rich enough to have someone else handle it :-)

Thanks for that! I didn't order the clips. Will probably need them.

Its terrible that you cant have nice things and that people are going to be jealous. hope you get it fixed ok.

Just broke the one on the right side of my car this weekend at a track day. Odd but I came in and it was only held on by the one lower clip.

Seems the retainers somehow came off. I was running over some curbs quite a bit so that may have done it.

Thanks for the links

I had a Gen II Viper for 12 years. Most people appreciated it and I always took time to show it to people up close, pop the hood and even let people sit in it if they wanted. But you wouldn’t believe how many haters are out there. I’ve literally had people yell obscenities at me when driving it. At restaurants I always had to park where I could see it out the window from my seat. And I never felt comfortable walking away from it at car shows.

I also met a guy at a car show once who had a low mile 67 Camaro that was an all original car (interior, paint, everything). He walked away from the car just long enough to check some of the other interesting cars at the meet and when he came back someone had keyed the 67 from frontend to rearend down the drivers side. It was sickening.

Sorry you encountered the worst of society with your car damage. Haters gonna hate.

Somebody stomped my canards and broke them over the weekend. They also dented where the bumper meets the fender. Pretty pissed but at least canards are somewhat cheap.

[h018871]

you can get the retainers from LB Auto Parts for $11 for a pack of 10 (pn 11547341)
they are used in several places on the car

Gotta do my plug for canard removal - https://youtu.be/6NpcQ-29UyA

I like that the clips were mentioned in previous posts, they tend to go missing after the canard breaks.

And that damage looks more like a car smash than it does a stomp. That sucks.

I agree. Looks like someone clipped you with their car.
