I`m usually good about avoiding stuff on the road, but this plastic Fiesta bag flew right under my car at a stop light and when I took off from the light I didn`t see it fly out from under the car. So we get up to a stop light down the road and I smell what I know for sure was plastic burning. Stoped at several more lights and stop sighns and still the smell. By then I knew it was that damn bag.
Well now I got this melted bag all over my headers and I was woundering if anyone has had this happen to them befor and what did they do to get it off. I`m hoping it will all burn off. Not that my headers look all that great to start with. I do have some rigged up air tubes and the coating is that great. I just don`t want them to look any more ghetto than they do now.

dude, that same **** happened to me when I had my 99 Z28. I don't know how but I ran over a milk jug and it stuck to my I pipe and I smelt the melted plastic heavily for a few days and after that I always had this faint smell of burning plastic.
