well if it's the black plastic part behind the bumper that you're talking about then that could be replaced

Oh awesome ok thanks

Also, with regards to my other posts, dealership just called to let me know that the clutch plate wasn't fitting that it was too big, and the throw out bearing was too small... so they can use their own bearing to fit it but the clutch plate is a bust. Said they'll try to fit in a plate they have at the shop but god damnit everything that could go wrong is going wrong

No, but my E30 had a 13lb flywheel. The rattle drove me up a wall!
I had no problem switching to my ZHP when I sold the E30.

Oh well the rattle in the ZHP is only really noticeable from outside the car unless she's really chilly

Ok good news, they called me back and told me that they were able to configure it so that they used the OEM plate with their own bearing and it managed to fit the flywheel. Should be done within the next couple hours

It's funny you say that because I don't care about the rattle... but I care about what other people think. lol
It's the same reason why I hated driving with my track pads on my car for a day or two; the looks I get from the noise they made was embarrassing! Of course, I tend to care too much about what other people think about my car, so there's that.

Great news! It's good when you have a shop that can use some ingenuity to fix a problem.

Haha I couldn't agree more, but until someone points out the chatter then I'll live with it, the brakes on the other hand I cringe because I know so badly what you're saying, many comments about the squeal have led me to dissembling my calipers and greasing them up. Way too self conscience about my own car
