Default Side vents

I saw a 2000 vette this morning with a grille with 2 bars in the vent hole on the side. Anybody know who sells them?

Please don't add tacky ghetto garbage to your performance vehicle. You own a Corvette, not a Buick LeSabre.

Yes, by all means, it is indeed your car, so please do add as many tacky ghetto items as you like. Only you can f#$% up your own car. Don't let us dissuade you.

There are several cars here on the forum that have them. If you like them you should put them on. The only opinion that counts is yours. I happen to think they look good in the right situation. They remind me of the 1958 and 59 Vettes


I have an 04 cpe that is 994 Light Tarnished Silver. The right mirror was hit by a motorcycle and had to be replaced. I used the new line from Duplicolor that I bought at Pep Boys. The replacement mirror was red. I used their primer, color coat and clear coat. The color match is spot on. It turned out so well that I did the left mirror because it had several chips. Put it on in light coats and it will look great. You can get the same stuff at a Napa paint center but Pep Boys seems to have more colors in stock.

I thought I should mention that you should sand them with 2000 after the clear coat is good and dry. I waited 4 days. Then use polishing compound and wax.

Thanks for the positive and unbiased opinions.
I haven't been on here for some time and there's a fair share now of people that are so opinionated and self-centered.....I'll disregard those..........opinions? Now, I know why I haven't been on here for a long time.

We are all not like that! Do what you like,it's your car and it should fit your personality. There are all kinds out there, some dont like 20 inch rims, some dont like badges, convertable conversions or rear brake ducts on a non Z06. Who really cares what others think.
