The simple fact that you can buy them from any of the many Corvette mail order houses tells me there is a market for these things. I have a friend that's doing strange things to a Vette. Not to my taste, but that's why they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

I looked at the first picture and thought, "That doesn't look all that bad", but the second picture isn't very flattering. Like so many things, it all depends on your perspective.

I was not going to say anything, but that was funny!!

I do not have a problem with wings if they are running road courses, but I do not care for them if just used as an looky look thing. Its their vette.

Here's a few photo's of imports with wings that we can all hate too... okay?



That's disgusting...



...what were they thinking???



just plain horrendous....



double yuck!!! and these "street" cars only cost 3 to 7 times more than our cars, but don't really go a whole lot faster... perhaps GM is missing the boat by not making a VETTE with a big honking wing on it... seems to be a standard staple on those foreign cars... huuummmm??


..and a photo of my friends C5 with the "wing" that really looks cool to me with a fitting tag that says 2COOL4U.

If you were a true friend, you wouldn't let him put that wing on.
