Another update on the add ons.
Yesterday the rear spoiler went on with no issues and not a smudge on my car.. which was a relief. I had big anxiety about that big rear facia piece coming off. The guy who does this over at Sherwood Pk is meticulously patient and really takes pride in his work. Big
I did the install of my wind deflector my self which went really good with an old set of electrical pliers, roll of tape, empty bottle of car wash soap, pairs of pliers, an Alan wrench I managed to get the #40 torx out with, a small piece of Ziggy’s 3M moulding tale and a beer opener to help dig the rug up. That’s my main set of tools in this garage.
The wind deflector is another reasonably priced product that is very good quality and easy to put in. They offer 3 power options for the lightning.
1) 9v battery box that you just run the wires to and switch on or off.
2) A power plug that you just plug in or yank out for the lighting.
3) A direct connection to fuse 37 in the rear fuse box.
With all of these options you can add a dimmer module that comes with a remote control (like a little FOB) similar to the mild to wild one. This dimmer box can be added into any of the 3 power configuration options.
I got all 3 just to compare and decide.
I went with the power to fuse 37 and the dimmer module set up.
Big thumbs up
A couple things on this install.
1) The carpet in your Corvette is the lowest quality crap I’ve ever experienced. Follow the instructions to move the carpet out of the way and remove that D ring even though you brain is telling you it’s so far way from the job it isn’t necessary. It is. This carpet rips like tissue. (For once I followed the instructions thank goodness)
2) The dimming module has really bad connections for the power wires. Old school and poor quality spring loaded speaker wire connections that do not hold the wires worth a damn. No big deal unless you are hiding all this under the carpet and it comes apart. Which you are and it does. This is the only thing they need to improve. I had a ton of trouble getting these connections to bite and ended up taping them closed onto the wires to help hold them in. The rest of the wiring job is easy and the wire is completely hidden except for 2 inches that jump from the deflector to the rubber moulding.
Overall a great product and it actually keeps the wind down on the coupe very well on initial road tests last evening.
