I ordered mine from www.corvetteparts.com there alittle cheaper and I think a little better. Have only had it on the car for a week but no problems, works really well, and I love it. Definitely recomend it.

because when it is up it blocks the intercooler also it kind of blocks the lower air dam so I know it wouldnt, but just to prevent any sort of overheating

I have the manual one, just as easy to put up and down, and no chance of water and corrosion.

If the cop pulls up behind you and you have the electric one, put it out dont show the button to put it out and tell the cop there is a plate up there, when he says no theres not argue with him till he goes up and looks and comes back to the car and says have a good day and walks away like a retard

i was just about to post asking this even at 70 i wonder the stablity. if you roll with it down it will almost act like a splitter and might rip itself off? idk i love the idea i just think it needs to be stonger constructed.
