From certain angles, they look pretty but there are other angles that I don't think they do much for the car.

Not my cup of tea, but then again, it's your car. If it makes you happy, go for it!

Pesonally I'm not real wild about how they look on the car. But, a number of owners have them and like them. If it's what you like, put them on.

I used to like them. Don't really care for them much anymore so I am glad I never installed any on my car.

To me, they look ok with a stock C5 nose, but become overdone if you already have or plan in the future to add any sort of a chin spoiler. JMHO

Of course, as always, it really comes down to what you like. It's your car so do as you wish.

Good luck in your decision.
