What did you do with your Z today

PapoZalsa · 06-11-2011, 02:12 PM

Tried to installed the EVO-R rear valance but won't fit because of the F.I. Exhaust tip distance to the bumper.

I guess I will need to do some type of shimming or some type of "jerry rig".

Why not adjust the exhaust?

I washed it at 7am and went to a get together at the local Ferrari dealer. I'm going to a Tsunami benefit car show tonight at USF.

That what I said I will have to shim the bolts that attach the bracket to the frame where the rubber bump attaches to the hanger to bring the tips down on both sides and maybe I will need some longer bolts also.

Right now I have about 1/8 to 3/8 between the tips and the bumper. I don't know why that bracket was made so short that the tips almost touch the bumper....

However so other member had posted that they haven't had a problem...

Right now I have about 1/4 to 1/2 between the tips and the bumper. I don't know why that bracket was made so short that the tips almost touch the bumper....

To put the rear valance is no rocket science, and plenty of member here has them installed.

The thing is to install something so easy I will have to go thru all this BS with the exhaust just because they could not make the hanger that attaches to the rubber bump at least 3/8" longer.
