Hey everybody... Question.

My new '96 LT1 is factory perfect stock, 54K. Absolute showroom shock- some real freak had this car before me (scary, just like me!), and every part looks brand new. Save for the absolutely gorgeous, whooooooshing Magnaflow catback, she was stock except for a rather questionable spoiler. I took off the offending piece of plastic today, but...

Any suggestions on the 4 holes, other than plastic and paint?

Chris

I'd suggest electrical tape but that's a little tacky. No pun intended.

Before the rest of the Def Jam comedy crew chime in, let me help y'all out and eliminate

1. Flower holders (ala new VW Bug)
2. Multi-colored light bulbs
3. Bike Rack
4. Luggage rack (OK, OK, OK I'm sorry '90 Vert owners!)
5. ...and definitely no shotgun rack.

Chris, congratulations on scoring the best of the LT1 lineup.
I can't help you with your question, other than the obvious - take it to a reputable body shop with experience on corvette work.........Also, I want to congratulate you on getting rid of that wing.

Well since you eliminated some of the other "fun" answers, four CB antennas? I can't really think of any shortcuts, just body work. Sure sounds like a sweet car.

Yeah, I guess I could hang the mike over the rear view, and put a tow hitch on too... (yes, I have actually seen a late model C4 with hitch and ball )

Who would be insane enough to try and haul with a vette, they even tell you in your owners manual in huge letters not to.

Don't post this in the auto-x section. Many of them use trailers to haul their race tires and such. A reasonably sized trailer won't hurt these any more than any other comparably sized car.
