on to my question. there was a black part in a plastic bag in my trunk when i took delivery and i'm not sure what it is. looks to be a two-piece chin but i'm not certain. part # embossed on it is as follows: 62823 1ea0a. before i get flamed, i did a search but came up empty.
while i'm asking for help, i'll also offer a little detailing tip that i used today. after drying the z, she continues to drip from the side mirrors, headlights, tail lights, z side marker, etc. to prevent this and keep myself from repeatedly going over these areas with a chamois, i use my shop vac to suck the water out of the cracks using the crevice tool. being careful not to touch the paint, it works like a charm.
anyway, sorry for the long first post. great site, i'll be here often.

just use an electric leaf blower to dry the car, that way you are minimising the "touch" factor and hence minimising swirls.
