We use 3M tape + adhesive promotor for permanent installation.

If you want to be removable, then please don't use the 3M adhesive promotor otherwise it will be too hard to remove. But you may have to replace the 3M tape when you want to reuse.

In your case, you may try to use some strong metal clips for easiler removal. But we don't supply such metal clips.

Do they make a gun rack for the back window? Maybe a heavy duty fixed antenna to fly Rebel flag from would be nice too.

Default C6?

"The C6 guys love them". Why am I not surprised, after all, they DRIVE C6's instead of C5's!!

ALSO, they actually look better on a C6. A friend installed a set on his 08 Atomic Orange coup and they look like they belong there. It may have to do with the C6 having more sharp edges and lines. I would install them on a C6 if I had one, but there is no way I would put them on my curvy C5!

Bad news to announce.

Geez.. I have had those on order since September last year. There aren't going to be any C5s left with body panels worth protecting by the time these get released! I am the most patient person I know of, but this is insane... I used to build entire custom Corvettes where every single panel on the car was hand-formed and it did not take this long! Might look at shopping the molds out to Dubai!

We are more frustrated than anybody for this project. Sorry, without good fitting molds our hand is tight.

I am sure you are frustrated as well, and I certainly commend your dedication to quality - I am sure they will be top knotch like everything else you provide. But if it were me, some mold-maker's head would be on a chopping block. I may ought to get back into the mold-making business - I could knock those out in 3 days taking my time.
