Default Spruce Up Your C1 Corvette's Worn Chrome Bumper



The back end of the C1 has long been trouble spot for the car, especially when it comes to the placement of the exhaust through the chrome bumper.

Not with all of the C1s.
Dump it down like it is on a 61/62.

No problem on my 57 Gasser.
A battery cutoff switch is going in the right bumper and I haven't decided on the left one

I've seen reflectors installed in place of the exhaust tips...looks factory.

When I bought my 60 someone had put lights in there. I liked the idea and since I was never comfortable with the small tail lights I changed em to leds and hooked into the turn/ stop circuit. I'll see if I got a pic somewhere.
