I got mine from Corvette Enhancements & am very happy with it. Sorry, my C-5 is TR but I believe if u go to their web site it shows a silver vette. Their e-mail address is corvette enhancements@yahoo.com...Ph#800 946.4929...P.S. I used to live & work in Chi-Town... And yes they are a forum vendor...

I am not aware of another maker other than Corvette Enhancements. I think they sell them through Ecklers and Mid America as well as their own website. I just bought one from Richard at Corvette Enhancements but his group purchase ended 9-16. It was $260 including shipping. They retail for $399. I don't have any pictures of it yet but I think it really accentuates the black and Electrion Blue of my car. One word of advice if you get one of these, follow the instructions to the letter! I've had some experience with large 3M adhesive attached pieces on other vehicles and the soapy water is a real necessity.

That is a very good option. Not hard to do the painting.

Not the best pic, but you get the idea. Purchased from Corvette Enhancements.

Much cheaper, and a ton of DIYs running around the forum. You'll probably find more painted their "butts" , than bought the facia overlay.
