There OK....


It's so hard to personalize a Vette these days with so many
people modding. We need new mods that won't be used by everyone...

I was with you guys when I first saw them, but I went by there last Friday and met the owner John. He has them in red/red ... no chrome. I saw them on his project Vette and they actually looked good (in the photo). Not trying to change any opinions, just my $.02

I've seen them, but don't like them. Like Dave said they have red/red which might look a little better but still, i don't know. They do have a clear third brake light that I might be interested in.

Don't really care for the ones in the pic, but that is just my opinion. If you like the looks, go for it. Can't say I have ever seen any on a car though.
