Not just the acceleration, but the weight of these things scare me. Speed + weight = bad things in an accident.

The states that are mandating these to be the only cars you can buy in the coming years is pure idiocy.

I have one that is backlit with red LED's. Someone on Facebook made them years ago.

I had a front upper control arm bushing completely let go while driving back in 2000. Luckily I was in a neighborhood close to my house when it let go.

No problem, thanks for letting me know!

I'll claim the 72 grille if no one else has.

Yeah, I do too. I don't believe they re-pop the non Corvette version anyway. Amazing how much design and effort GM put into these. Heck, they put more design thought into those hubcaps than they do with some cars these days!

Restored an undented but in need of a restoration set of P02 hubcaps. Put them on the polishing wheel, repainted the black accents and replaced the center caps with new ones from Trim Parts. Nice change of pace from the rally's from time to time.

A 3rd gen Camaro overflow jug works well. Will mount on the wheel well nicely.

The one I'm referring to is being offered by SS396 and being manufactured by a different company than the OPGI one.

I use the Chemical Guys yellow microfiber towels. The key to keeping them nice is do not use any fabric softener of any sort when washing them.

Hi Doug, did you get a confirmation of that from the folks at SS396? Their rep has stated that their repop is metal in the previous posts above.

And with that news I canceled my order with opgi and ordered this one. Fingers crossed that it arrives this decade and its actually really metal!

I can't find anywhere on the SS396 site that indicates what that grille is made out of. What has me intrigued is the price difference between theirs and OPGI's. OPGI's is confirmed plastic and made by Restoparts. The SS396 one appears to be made by GroundUp, so I'm wondering if they are indeed completely different repops. I'm hoping the 140.00 price difference for the GroundUp one means its a metal one. For what its worth I called their customer service last week and the lady said she "thinks" its a metal grille, but take that with a grain of salt because they do not have these in hand yet. I have sent an email inquiry to them asking for confirmation on the material their grille is made of but haven't heard anything back as of yet.
