Default C6 Taillight Spears for C5

Has anyone seen a vendor with the C6 tail light stainless steel spears (3) that fit the C5?

I like that look but have only seen them for the C6.

Thanks
Lonnie

I've seen the Stainless spears for the gills on a C5, as well as the louvers for the taillights, but never spears for the taillights...

Must be a new hybrid...

Ecklers, West Coast about anyone has those, they're certainly not exclusive to the C6!

These are different than the ones you find for the C5 which are single piece compared to these which appear to be 3 individual pieces.

No, not these one you posted but if you look at the attachment I did in an earlier post they are the ones that he is looking for and they seem to be only for the C6

Since we are talking about the rear lights. Anyone seen the rear reverse lights modify in the vents? I thought it might look more like a c6 vette.

No, but there would probably be some issues with the heat generated from the exhaust since it is so close, unless you went with the straight pipes from Borla or some other manufacturer.

Weill, I guess from the number of replies on this that no one is making them for the C5.

I like the 3 bar w/Vette flags that is made for the C5, just the outside ring is thicker than I want.

Guess I will just wait and see if some vender brings out the C6 spears to fit the C5.

Thanks for the replies,
Lonnie
