They are on ebay now 14.99 free shipping. Don't think I would put them on my car, but maybe on the tool box! Pretty cheap too.

they do look a lot nicer than the ones i've seen on cars before. and they appear to be smaller too, which is also better

We have them on order, and on the website... They haven't arrived yet.... GM told us "soon" as of today.

Those ARE the knock-off's, and are black on the bottom 1/2 and silver on the top 1/2.

Not the right ones.

Here are the fakes:

For some reason GM has pulled the plug on them for now. We have 10 on order and I'm sure it will be soon.

Excellent response.

I read that Bill Mitchell named the '63 the "Stingray" because the rear split window reminded him of the tail on a Stingray. When the rear split disappeared in '64, the "Stingray" label still stuck, and rightfully so for all C2's.

Even though Chevrolet resurrected "Sting Ray" for the early C3's, the C3 shape was based on the Mako Shark prototype, hence the "Shark" moniker for all C3's. Me thinks GM of today lacks creative imagination. "Manta" would have been the perfect name to stick onto the 2014 Vette. Calling it another "Stingray" is just a bowl full of wrong.
