I've seen a few. I think they look too C4ish or maybe too much like a Chrysler Crossfire for me. And I hear they are a PITA to install.

OTOH this I would go for in a minute...

That's actually very close to the way Tom Peters wanted the gills to look when he first designed the C6. But somehow got dumped from the finished product.

I wish... Its a photochop someone did a couple months ago. I wish someone would come up with an add on like this. Probably wouldn't be TOO hard to do... This one is mine:

Default spears
I like those,BIG JOE.The biggest drawback to the spears is the REDICULOUS PRICE for some plastic that may or may not stick!!!
