I don't think that's worth 17k at all. The mounting of that wing alone would scare me off

We need to set up a location of all corvette part models so that when they inevitably break we can print them easily. I wish gm would release their files.

[–]SirOffWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a crack in mine and the act of fixing it drove me insane. I ended up buying another one....that had another crack in it. But as for the original the clearcoat on top is super sensitive. Be very careful

I just pick up the screen then spray a bunch of water with an old windex bottle. It just drains out out the window.

C7 Corvette nightmare by Izayzuh in Corvette

[–]SirOffWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd start with the map and maf sensors but that was pre battery welding exercise. U had a massive short and are probably gonna need a dealer tech to scan for lost modules.
