Your car really shows nice. The wheels really set it off.

They look good on your car. How did you get them to lay down?

I didn't, I still have a gap on the right. Is this what yours looks like?

They still look good on your car. And they will cut down alot of heat inside the car.

I can't even push them down to line up right. I have no idea why they sit like that

Can you shift them to the right side of the car so they line up a little bit better?

Nope, If I do it sticks out off the side of the car and then the other side is too tight. It's the strangest thing.

Very nice. More than once now, you have made me say that about things I typically do not care for.

First it was the larger wheels which I typically do not like. You managed to make them work and fit well under the body with no odd gaps or weird offsets - AND tires that still feel like they belong on this period of a car (you didn't go with a rubber band wrapped around a wheel)

Now the louvers - which I never liked, even when they were new items. With the color of your car, the glass tops and the wheel color, it just works.

Well done Qwank!

Thanks guys.

I went to a huge car show yesterday, not many Corvettes there but my car got a lot of attention.

And the louvers stayed on at 85+ mph on the highway, so that was good. I'm always worried of things held on with double sided tape.

on a side note, I think my 25 year old radio is on it's way out. I'm going to have to think really hard about going with another old one, or just bite the bullet and buy something new and lose a little bit of old school coolness.

Looks awesome and in fact, I was just thinking of your louvers this weekend, as I'm on vacation with the '95 C4 and it is hot here in San Diego wine country! I'm going to have to find myself a set for my C4 now. Got to keep all those cases of Cabernet in good shape!

C4 louvers are ultra rare. I'll keep an eye out for you, but I sold a set on eBay last year fr almost $1,000 with a starting bid of $100
