I am sorry but I HATE THOSE THINGS

I have seen a few in person at Carlisle and I just think they look terrible.

The noses are too long, and the proportions just look awful to my eye.

There do seem to be people that like them though. Just not my cup O' tea.

I like it. So the deal is you can't buy a kit and install it yourself? I wonder if anyone has copied it and made molds? -----------------[]

The guy who runs a local plastics/fiberglass company here owns one. I think they were involved in making the panels.
He is a Vette snob - NO WAVES!!

The 53 Commerative is what GM should have done for the 50th Anniversary Model instead of just a special shade of red. Now a company in Tennessee is making 1967 retro conversions...
