Trust me, you're gonna love those FANGS.

I feel like mine have paid for themselves about ten times over.

Since my Vette isnt my daily driver, I still don't have it down just where that front end is and I'm constantly hitting those concrete parking curbs.

After countless hits, my FANGS look as good as new. These things should have come on the car from Chevy.

50 bucks?!!

Man, what are these made of? I presume they a Delrin-based product? If they really work that well, I may consider them, but....

The Fangs are on my list of things I want to get for my car. Very nice addition to help protect the car.

I have the Fangs and they are a great addition. That and the radiator grill screen I installed at the same time.



However I have another question...What was the purpose of the holes in the bottom of the corner light housing assemblies?

Where do you buy the Fangs? I tried the saccitycorvette.com site and the retailer link takes me to a website that does not list Fangs.
