          Can you argue that it's "revolutionary"? Perhaps. Just because it's "new" and "different" doesn't mean it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

            That's what I thought... funny how I haven't seen anything official from GM about the re-design even though I've heard it was implimented shortly before GM went into bankruptcy and the supplier froze(speculation) GM's account. So who even knows. All i know is I've been waiting for a replacement since mid May and the dealer knows no more than anyone else. It's on "back order"... stay tuned

              Attention: Service & Parts Managers
              The Camaro Action Center and Technical Assistance have received many calls from Chevrolet Service Managers and Technicians related to the GM Accessory Camaro Ground Effects and problems with the front air dam coming loose and dragging on the pavement.
              After review of each of the calls to the Action center it was determined that the installation instructions were not completely followed.
              It is important to make sure that all of the front attachment rivets are installed. There are 16 rivets used for the SS and 4 are installed with the fascia off the vehicle. There are 17 rivets used for the base.
              Do not use petroleum based cleaning products. If a strong cleaner is required use a 3M general purpose cleaners (P/N 08984). Tape will not adhere to a surface with residue left from petroleum based cleaning products.
              Be sure to apply 15lbs of pressure to tape for proper wet out. After the kit has been installed the car shall not be driven for 24 hours. The tape that is used during the installation of the front air dam must sit for 24 hours for complete adhesion.
              Remember there are two different Ground Effect Kits available based on the model.
              Part number 92207441 is only used on the base model Camaro
              Part number 92208008 is only used on the SS model Camaro
              Please make sure your technicians or accessory installers are aware of this information.

                This is the link from the front page of Camaro5. I'm sure mini will get to it in time, it's usually several hours before it picks it up here...
