I figured that out, however tail light louvers bring out the "best" of this forum right there with rear wings.

I'm more of a "to each his own" type of guy, so in answer to your question, here are a few options:

With C5 logo...

With Skull Logo if you want the bad boy image...

The ship has pretty well sailed on tail light louvers on C5's. But good luck.

They're not missing the point. It's just that this thread will somewhat parallel the the discussion "to BSM or not to BSM." that is the question.

Well, I think they are several steps higher then black wheels in my opinion...BUT I don't like them so I don't put them on my car, I don't tell others what no to do to their own.

Lamborghinis are sold with black wheels---yet nobody sticks cheesy chrome taillight louvers on a Murcielago. Just sayin'.

Please keep your Vettes clean, guys. These are American performance cars, not lowriders or ricers.

Lambos come with black wheels, C5's did not. You also don't see Lambo owners swapping wheels like Vette owners do either....just sayin'

If you wanna stroke me a check for my car, please feel free to do with it as you want, until then...my light louvers, and rear lettering (which are the only two appearance mods I did to give it a subtle but different look) stay cause I like them.
