wow, so much dissent over these things. I see them all over town. I personally don't care for them. All though, I am kinda liking the covers (Kits) that sit flush with the rear surface.

By all means, paint the whole car neon pink. I couldn't care less. I just hate to see people ruin such a nice car.

Just park your car in front of ROJ's house overnight, that should do the trick....

although i do enjoy the "lively" conversation that this always brings out, lol!! so..........to add to the confusion, i would check out places like west coast corvette, midamerica corvette, and perhaps corvertte america as potential supplies of the product that you seek.

I think body color louvers look ok. Chrome.... well.... I'll hold off on my two cents on that.....

Just like when I see a Buick Century I think of senior citizens, I see chrome louvers (or any excessive add on chrome on a Vette) and think baby boomers.
