Haven't seen any with the 50th logo for a long time. Good luck finding a set - if they even make them anymore.

You guys are cruel. My wife likes the chrome louvers. Then again she also likes Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow and big hair.

Gawd Guys,


I was taught to say nothing if you can't say something nice. The OP asked for help, not opinions!


My C5 took second at a car show Sunday (83 or Newer Corvette Class)


It was one of only two C5's, the rest were C6 gen, GS, Z06 and nice coupes, about 13-14 total. The C5's took 1st and 2nd,,,mine has chrome C5 louvres. The other C5 had tinted tail lights.

So much for opinions when counting votes!


OP, Do what you want and good luck finding what you like!

Judges love tacky crap just look at most of the cars in the show lol so your point is invalid..

Plus the fact they are ugly as sin doesn't help it's selling point. But if you must get them you might as well be cool and go all out
