Thanks Daddy. I really don't care what they think. I thought, for a moment, they might not do that again...... No, I usually march to the beat of my own drum. The louvers do remind me of the older vettes...which I like.

I got these at WCC several years ago. I like them in that they fill the gaping hole with a classy grill and the billet spears.

100% agree. Anything you do to your car to make YOU like it better or to make YOU feel better is a great addition to me.

The OP did not solicit for opinions on his original post, just where to buy them. It's you car. Make it look the way you want it to. If others don't like it, they should just keep their opinions to themselves. Not everyone on this board has the same taste and style.

Forums are always better with people who contribute to the conversation.
Post up pictures if you wind up doing it RWilkins.

Thanks chairman,
No, I did not ask for opinions, but you know how some of society can be......society will say "Be yourself".....then say "NOOOO, not that way". But, that's who they are, I'll be me.

You must be joking. Why would you put everyone in the same bracket. My vette is completely stock and have had it for 8 years. It will remain that way, unless I decide to make a subtle change. Thank you very much.

I joined this forum for "Technical Insights", which I get (thankfully) over in the tech forum.
Easier to find and understand than the Factory Manuals which I purchased.
I changed the headlights on my ride because of two factors, #1 A 'lazy light assy'. #2 I HATE Pop-Ups! (have since '63).
Yeah, the lights I put in are GAWDY... LOL, but they were a quick deal at a right price.
Radio Flyer's "Angry Eyes" are for me, but $$$ holds me back right now.

All that being said, I never (well, the photos above make me say "ALMOST") put anyone down for their mods.
Little 'touchs' are what people like us are all about.
And not a one of us is so 'Above' anyone else that we have the 'Right' to criticize another's 'tasteful' mods.

Granted, that 'Beauty' in the previous post "REQUIRES" some OUTRAGEOUS COMMENTS....

So true, I agree 100%. Why people feel the need to attack forum members is beyond me. It just shows what kind of Di@k someone is when they treat someone asking a question this way.
