They look like crappola in person. And I'm told installation is not easy and requires some saws. :eek:

Pretty typical, it seems many feel that GM should have the final word on Corvette styling. I may or may not care for the aftermarket pieces that I posted above but I do think posting the pics is more helpful than a pant-load of these little guys: :U

Yeah...I agree. I thought the purpose of the forum was to exchange ideas and help each other out. If an opinion was asked for, then give it. But when someone posts looking for information and 90% of the replies make no attempt to help, I think it reflects badly on our group. Some seem more interested in sharing their opinion than helping others out.

I don't like the bottom one at all, it looks...unfinished for lack of a better description. The top one doesn't look bad, but it reminds me too much of a Fiero GT...

I wouldn't do it, if that helps you any :)

I've seen it and it really looks second tier close up. Kinda makes your car look like a kit car, like when someone takes a C3 and bolts a fiberglass lamborghini to it. They aren't foolin anyone and you just look cheap and presumptuous. Personally, I think if you attached a Mack Truck Dog to your hood, a trailer hitch on the back, and dualies on the rear, it would look better.
Here's a link to a similar rear that even lets the air in. Hate it. http://store.yahoo.com/corvetteforum/zip-x-424-sc.html
Tried to help and critical feedback. What more could you ask for?
