Default 1978 Corvette

I am looking at an L88 hood for my 78. Through top flight automotive, they say it comes with fender extensions, what are these ?

Welcome to the forum!

Here is a thread about them. It seems they’re something you’d need to put a long style hood (‘73 and up) on a car that came with a short hood and a wiper door (‘68-‘72.) Unnecessary on your ‘78.
