That is different. I don't think it could be good connected directly on the glass like that.

Mom used to say, "if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all", So ........

It matches the beltline stripe.

If someone could photoshop out the overgrown boomerang, you'd have a nice car in a nice setting.

One man's meat is another man's poison. I'm guessing the first time a Vette owner decided he could improve on the factory appearance was sometime in July 1953! Personally I think they're just fine as delivered, but (give "your car, free country" speech etc, etc).

It may not appeal to everyone, but I am sure most of us have done something to make the car "ours".
Everyone has different tastes when it comes to styling mods.

BTW, that is Mike's old car.

Not mine. I just like to put up a new screen saver each day. I was searching for a "Imported from Detroit" pic and stumbled on this.
Just thought it looked kinda different and a bit cool.
Being from Michigan I like Chrysler's newest ad campaign.
