That's a new high for Corvette Central, or is that a low. New but discontinued chrome aluminum? WTF I wonder if they recommend a synthetic lubricant with that.

This has been listed multiple times on Ebay if I remember correctly the bidding started at $350 about six months ago.

Would look out of place. What? You'd need to chrome the entire front bumper to match that.

If you look at the C5 stuff, that's priced the same.

I wonder why they would make it out of aluminum and not plastic? If it were plastic, fit well, and a lot cheaper, it would make a nice alternative to the "Biz" plate.

It's tacky,tacky,tacky, at any price.

Well, maybe not. If you already had mudflaps with those shiny chrome babe silhouettes on them, it might work.

Maybe they'll throw in a quart of synthetic blinker fluid to seal the deal.
