I seen some there the other day in the ricer section!
No really I did but i have never seen any in the Vette catalogs so it might be something you'll have to adapt!
Thanks,Matt

Come on Greg. You should know better then to ask on here, as some of us are always on here and looking around. You should know by now that I have a couple contacts for chroming from when I was in Indy and in CCCC.
Surprised you have not done this yourself. Do it yourself and save some money. Take yours off, pull the wiper blades off yourself, and send them to Advance Chrome Plating in Nashville, TN and wait 10 weeks to get them back.
Or do as I did with a lot of my own chrome contact me via PM and I will give you the name and contact of the guy in Indianapolis that will do it CHEAPER and you will have them back in about 1 week. You can even run downtown and drop them off and tell him I sent you there.
If you want we can do these as a group ( your Purdue buddy and I have not done ours yet --waiting on sending a bigger package to him) and he will give you a better price, especially if I call and tell him I am sending him some more work.
Let me know if you want a pair of chrome door strikes for your C5 as I have an extra set in the garage that are for sale.

At the first thought of this, I cringed. That has ricer stamped all over it. But seeing Y2Kvert's setup with all the bling on his engine, he can get away with it. It's just more bling.

I think the questions was "Where can I buy them" NOT "What is your opinion of them"
Why do poeple feel like they have to try and change everyones mind or offer there two cent when it really wasent ask for. Now that I've said that.........
Yes CEC has them for $650 big ones and I didn't want to pay that price soooooooo I went to the salvage yard, bought a pair and had them chromed for under $200. CEC has great chrome but I just thought the price was to steep for me.

Glad I could help. The only reason I said what I did is because it seems like a lot of people bash others ideas, and its these ideas which make us all different (unique) I love Corvettes, all of them C1-C6 regaurdless of what people do, i like to see other peoples creativity, some of which I like and some I don't. Good luck in your venture.

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually since I have 3 C5s, 2 of which never see rain I can skip the trip to the junk yard. You were correct about the question too but I don't mind the opinions because I'm not easily swayed off track and I'd park any of my cars next to anyone's without shame. Thanks for the help.
And, as you can see in my pics, he also includes chromed metal caps that covers the arm nuts. Every other set of chromed wipers I've seen were lacking this detail.
Mine are over 3 years old now, and have held up exceptionally well.
