Yeah it never gets old

But I still do not know why people cover their license plates

Not a big deal when hundreds of people see it daily Just IMHO

Thanks,Matt

IMHO here so do not care what anyone else thinks.

Corvettes are designed and built to be ran hard at the track and road (on road in traffic is not for me, track only) then drive home. Bling, stickers and most spoilers do nothing to augment what the car was built for. If you want shiny toys buy a Sky or Eclipse...

What is it with everyone putting every chrome thingamabob and doohickey they can find on their C5's these days? I thought that was C4 territory?

Why don't you go ahead and paint a big rebel flag on it too, and put a trailer hitch on it and put one of those ******** on it.

And why do so many people insist on plastering Corvette emblems on every available square inch of their cars? Do you think no one's going to recognize what it is? I'm sure you're proud of your ride, but seeing how many emblems you can fit on it only detracts from the overall beauty of the C5.

The above picture shows 7 references to the Corvette, 8 if you count the trunk emblem. And this is just a rear shot. I'll bet there's another dozen lurking about.

But as the Others have already said a thousand times before, "It's your car. Do what you want."

A riced out import killer, now that's ironic.

You asked....looks like SHI%. ITS A SPORTS CAR not a damn Thunderbird mush mobile! KEEP THE CHROME OFF.

"Import Killer" ?? Please tell me your "LS1" isn't stock...because if it is, wake up! Its 2009! 350hp is pocket change these days...hardly an import killer as you imply

Yea,,,,, not so much

First, you should know better than to ask us our opinions.

Personally I choose my mods with the intent of making people notice the CAR and not the mods. This one is too much for me. It's the same reason I don't have a chrome fuel door.
