You sure?? I mean, from all the pics I looked at on the web (eg: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...988/index.html) it looks like the rears are correct and the fronts are backwards. Right?

IMO that black molding that goes down the side of the earlier C4s is an eye sore. But you can accessorize your car to make it blend in and actually look good.

In my case, I added the black molded splash guards and I am replacing my mufflers with the Magnaflow Mufflers, from Corvette Central, with the black LT1 tips. That will make the molding blend in and not stand out like a bad haircut.

Not with the splash guards on. I am getting ready to order the mufflers and when I get them on I will post some pictures. Shouldn't be too much longer, I will probably order the mufflers today. I also want to get my new seat covers on as well before I post them so it will probably be 2 to 3 weeks.

keep an eye out on the forum for it.

But I do have a picture I took last year, with the wheels on wrong. They are in my profile page.

Checked out your profile... nice looking ride... always liked how white looks on the C4 body. So you are going to leave the splash guards unpainted (ie, black), right? Am interested to see how it looks. I'll keep an eye out for your pics!

Welcome to the forum. I suggest starting a new thread in C4 Gen so more Vette owners in your area will see it that might not read this thread.

You are right, I was looking at them from a 96 perspective. The SawBlades on mine have the angle going the other way. Duuuhhhh.
