I'm sure it wasn't the brightest move ever but I traded in my almost 3 year old Aura for an '05 Z51 with 13k miles, I'm picking it up tomorrow after work. I still have the 3rd gen and will keep autocrossing and modding it as long as it's still around.

Apparently the former owner was in a Corvette club and only took it out on weekends, he traded it in for a new Camaro!

I'm definitely going to patch it somehow. My body shop instructor was a fan of the 3M 2 part epoxy that they use to assemble cars now. I saw him goop a bunch of that stuff on a bumper cover and form it into a tab that was torn off. I'll have to check if it works on fiberglass but if it does I'll use that instead... at least it is black to begin with!
