"The new and exciting Retro C4-1 Kit and accessory items are designed to fit all C4 Corvette models from 1984 – 1996. The Retro C4-1 Kit is produced in Limited Edition quantities. The concept and design of the Retro C4-1 tastefully merges a 1950’s Classic style with a Modern day twist. The front headlight rock guard bezels give a nostalgic look of the 1953-1955 Corvette, while the rear tail light section has the rocket fin appearance also reminiscent of the 1953-1955 Corvette."
I guess you can't believe eveything you read.
"Heads will turn."
Away!
That's the only line I can agree with.

And it actually looks even worse in person. And the left muffler is still crooked, just like the pictures on the website.

Florida is full of idiots. I've seen so many customs Vettes
from there that I think the humidity affects their rationality.
From their point of view that is one awesome retro-fit, and
like the liberals you can not tell him otherwise.
This is in case he drives thru an avalanche to protect the headlights.
The C1 Corvette letters costs more that the Vette itself.
Anyone in here knows Brad?

In defense of my fellow idiots, everyone around me thought it was awful too.
But there are a lot of Vettes around here with WAY too many stripes and graphics.
