I think I like this mod better than the "Split-Window" mod... much more subtle!

Rear view mirror view is not impeded at all, however over the shoulder backing up view is slightly diminished but not a problem in my opinion.

It was honestly the easiest mod I could have imagined. All I had to do was give the manufacturer my Paint Code and VIN and they painted the add-on to match my paint variant - then I just peeled the back off the two sided tape and stuck them on! They call the product "Corvette Sport Vectors".
I think they look great - gives the back end more definition and makes the car seem like it has a lower profile. Since I got them, I think my 'vette has been turning heads more than usual.
I've already fallen in love with them, but What do you guys think?

I am glad to see that you actually did something to your car. I am truly amazed at the number of Corvette owners who do absolutely nothing to their cars because they like them just the way they came from the General. I don't think these people have any imagination. I have yet to own a car which I felt I couldn't improve upon. Car manufacturers are forced to make compromises in the manufacturing process for a number of reasons. This leaves many opportunities to improve upon the original package. Now that the modding has begun, keep it up!!!!!
But, if you like it, then that's what matters!

I know he asked for opinions, but cut the guy some slack. Every one of us has done some mod or another. Every one of us has his or her own personal taste and style. No need to be so harsh and tell him he "ruined a vette" or worse. If you don't like them , just say " not my taste" or a thumbs down, but don't attack the guy.
To each his own. Try and be polite.

Gives the car a ferrari-ish /delorian-ish look.
