Front Chin Spoiler Protection

Techurious · 04-11-2010, 11:15 PM

I have to go very slow and at angle, especially at my work. I didn't get use to it at all. Doesn't matter how careful or slow I was, there is a loud scrape noise - embarrassed sometimes.

Got advise from one of this forum members, just trim the feathery plastic with a razor and it looks much better.

I like the looks of it..I don't know what you're looking at

If you don't like it..get rid of it. Maybe if you paint it, you'll like it more. What'll that cost? $25?!! Give it a try cuz it's a pretty good thing to have. My car didn't come with it..I had to buy it and I love it

But daymn, it still scrapes coming outta my driveway

you guys r probaly driving like maniacs? lol cuz mine is painted white and look like new been a month now and paint is still clean

tjlazer · 04-12-2010, 08:15 PM

Haha nope u r just lucky?

I scrape every single day just getting out of my driveway. Going in is fine. If I do a 45 degree angle it barely scrapes, otherwise its "scraaaaaapee....." UGH

Not sure if someone already said this but you can get a clear, hard but thing plastic molding that goes under the chin (or at least did on my cobalt SS) that stops you from hitting the chin. Im sure any automotive store will have something that you can put on your Z with little fabrication

i went to my local Ritas water ice and the entrance was steeper than i remembered and i got a nice little scraping sound infront of some bikers.

Well, I certainly scraped the hell out of the front chin lip last night while parking my Z. So mad at myself......grrr.

Just want to make sure my warranty won't be void if I remove the front chin spoiler myself to repaint it?

Why are you repainting it? Just sand it down (1000 and 2000 grit) and cut off the excess and it will look like new...

Yeap, I sanded off the scrape marks on the lip. Good as new..

Vegitto-kun · 04-26-2010, 08:35 AM

I scrape it daily.

Vegitto-kun · 04-26-2010, 02:31 PM

dear god I ****** it up pretty good today. I could pull off large chunks of the plastic.

hilarious

NYBladeZ · 04-26-2010, 03:00 PM

I've resigned myself to accept the fact that i'll have to fork over around $200 bucks if and when I want a new chin spoiler, but hey that's not that bad

Push370zzz · 04-26-2010, 03:08 PM

That's basically what it is there for...where's Xzibit when you need him. I don't think they have a chin spoiler for your chin spoiler, so you can scrape before you scrape before you scrape.
