All OE C6 Z06/ZR1 fenders were made by one manufacturer.

Um, neither.
I do not know who your comment was directed at, but I do not think fraud is silly.
You make it sound like the gent with the '65 coupe should not have been concerned about being taken.

I start off by assuming the car is a fake and the odometer has been tampered. Then I work backward using the factual info.

The popping sound on the hood is NOT a structural defect (it is not delamination).

GM using MORE glue would only unleash a RASH of bigger problems.

If you don't like the ZR1 hood window you could look for a factory Z07 hood. It will clear the intercooler.

The inside of the Z07 hood is carbon fiber just like the ZR1. It is 10 lb lighter than the standard Z06 hood.

The roofs are a magnesium frame with a carbon skin bonded on.

How did you extrapolate that from what he said? Of course there is a box.
The roofs I have seen are wrapped in a soft cloth. The bubble wrap is merely to keep the part from contacting the cardboard.

The only downside I can see is that you have to drill 10 holes in each side of your car. If you decide later that you don't like the skirts, it might be kind of a pain the...
