Excellent video - thanks. I certainly agree with most of your statements, but it's hard for me to visualize the scrapes and kinks of that left exhaust pipe being done purposely.
Have you never read any of Razorlab's comments? He is the master of sarcasm. I'm simply questioning his comment about clearance. If that is being an ahole then your definition is way too broad.
I'd like to see the pipe-bending machine they are using. Hopefully, someone has a pic of one that looks normal. I know that I have never backed onto a concrete wall. ;)
Upon examining the diff, I found a light film of diff fluid in some areas, so I cleaned it up and went for a 40-minute ride.
Fast forward to 1-25-2024: once again backed my car on ramps and looked at and around the diff. See pics.

2. My experience of owning a C5 soured me on the brand because...
When I changed my C5's oil and MX5's transmission and diff fluids, I'd drive up on homemade wooden ramps, then use my hydraulic floor jack to raise the front, then rear. Rhino ramps were placed under the front tires, and jack stands, front and rear. The HFJ was left at the rear as a backup.
It looks to be glossy to me. The rear spoiler is definitely glossy. When I had my car PPFed, I had them use carbon fiber-look for the side skirts to match the rear-view mirrors. Those are covered by a $950 carbon-fiber "cap" as an option listed on the window sticker.
