Default Freshly installed gills

I just installed my new gills I purchased from Redrider98 on the forum. Also check out the new phantom rear lens covers and license plate frame. What do you think? Do BSM's look better than gills? I like the gills better.

Looks good, now get rid of the Wagon Wheels. They make the Vette look outdated IMO

I like the look, but MY GOD.....the prices these guys are getting away with charging for these things. I sat down w/ my Eckler's catalog this afternoon and just shook my head.

I have different gill spears but the same license plate frame and I like the combination. Your car looks great and you are going the right direction IMHO.

Those look great! I have the factory trim, but if I didn't, I would be getting them for sure.

Have you thought about painting the tailight and license plate pieces to match your car?
