I kinda like them and depending on the Corvette that I might install them on would dictate to me if I need to cover them in a felt material or leave them alone or even do some trick powdercoating to them.
I might use them as 'plug' and make a mold and then make them out of carbon fiber if that was the 'look' I was going for. These panels would save numerous hours in tooling.

I like the idea, i dont like the ones with extra stuff on them like the skull or chevy bow tie, since they already insist upon themselves,
They would look good in a road race theme car but like a turd in a punch bowl on a stocker
I would hate that i would think they would get lots of dings easy,
I would never pay their asking price,
im too cheap,
Mike was involved with making fiberglass and carbon door panels many years ago and like with most things he did he never finished it, the prototypes were sweet,
I would think some people would like molded door panels if they fit well,
