I just don't understand people that don't understand the definition of opinion. You Sir, are in need of a Dictionary and manners. No one comes to this forum to be put down simply based on a difference of opinion.


p.s. Your Momma wears BSM's and fake Z06 badges on her FRC!

Sorry OP. One more time.

We put on the NCCO All Corvette Charity Car Show in June. This will be our 5th year. I'll pay your entry fee for that show, (every dang dime goes to the USMC's Toys for Tots Program, over $35K so far), if you show up! From Show Site it is a short drive to Thunder Valley Raceway. Bring your fastest buddies and me and the NCCO will send your bunch home with your tails tucked between your hind ends!

Who wants to go to NM in freakin July? Density Altitude must be 10,000 feet in those temps?


Better go to pm's after your response,,,,

Baaahaaa. I hate those f'in things. I make fun of my neighbor on a regular basis for wearing them. He gets so pissed its funny. Its a wonder he hasn't pounded me into the ground yet. He's about 6'3" 250lbs or so (and an ex Marine). However I just gotta bust chops on the crocs man.

OP if you like the louvers go for it. Not my taste, but hey a lot of people probably don't like my graphics either. But its my car so......

I have Taillight Louvers! I'm up in the Air about them...
When I first installed them, they did not match the Paint on my Car correctly. I went to the Local Sherwin Williams Automotive Paint Center and they made me a can of Spray Paint to match my Cars color. It Worked great. Now they match.

I had the Louvers installed on my Car for almost 2 years. Then one day I removed the Louvers so I could clean behind them, and I didn't re-install them. Two months later I re-installed the Louvers. I kind like how they match the Slots on the lower Rear Bumper. Just my Opinion. To each his own. Here is my Z06 with Louvers..

Hello All,
I believe the request was for a recommendation of a source and not a personal opinion of your particular likes and dislikes. I've owned six Corvettes over the last 45 years of driving and in general I've found Corvette drivers to be gentlemen. Maybe things have changed. To those of you who offered recommendations, my thanks. To those of you who offered their unsolicited opinions my best wishes for making the best of your life with the little abilities that you posses.

Try Mid-America or Corvette Central. They should have louvers with the 50th anniversary logo on them.
