I have a 2002 Z28 with the sport appearance package. I want to go through Mike's Car Wash in order to get the underbody spray for salt and ****. I was wondering if it is safe to run my Camaro through the car wash without the guide rails ripping off the moldings and fascias.

 

I've run through 2 or 3 different types of car washes with no problems (except 1 that scratched the back bumper of my car pretty badly ). I got the scratches off, luckily, but as far as the ground FX, no prob.

...also, it seems my car sits lower than any of my buddies' cars, stock-for-stock, except the guys who have lowered their cars. I've had mine since new, so that's the way it came from the factory.

 

Hey jfv04 or Capn Pete;

Also have the same molding package on my 2002 Z28. Want to remove the molding on top of the spoiler only because I would like increased vision in the rear, especially when backing up. Do not know how it is held to the spoiler - assumed it was glued, but realize it might be screwed in. Any hints about removing that strip, or should I go to Chevrolet?

Gracias for any input.

Steve

 

It seems that the front fascia will clear it just fine. What i'm really nervous about are the side skirts. But if you've done it, and I think that my car has never been altered by anyone else, I think it will be safe. Thanks.

 

the spoiler is screwed in
if you really want to get rid of it, you're better off buying a factory camaro, or z28, stock spoiler since yours will have holes in it if you take the top off

 

Do you really think that extra ~2" is going to make a big difference?! Hell, that spoiler is one of my favourite parts of the appearance of the car! I prefer that spoiler over both the stock Camaro / Z28 spoiler, and even over the SS spoiler. And you want to go and take it off?!

I've never found visibility bad out the back, and I've had this car ~2.5 years.

 

If your new to the Camaro it will take some time to get useto it, First time I backed up a camaro I went nuts! now I'm a pro

I'd keep it, it's part of the look, car looks so much more complete with the full package, I wish mine had the sport apearence package, but I didnt know it existed at the time
