Ok good as long as your not leaving it on the car, I'm sure it looks much better on a person.
Welcome to the roasting.
All in good fun, enjoy your car!
Is that top blue or black? Looks blue kinda
Ps.....I have a spoiler myself

Back in the fifties and 60's and even 70's, chrome door handles where in fashion. My C3 had factory chrome door handles, it was the last generation. Chrome handles see a lot of use, acid in your finger tips can causes a reaction to the chrome plating, and over time wears heavily on the plating. They look very out of place, today. But then there is always a need to be different and enough interest for someone to manufacture them. There is no clear and defined reason, not to get them if someone likes them , after all no one should do anything to appeal to someone other then themself.

Exactly. Chrome isn't my thing, but I can respect the last owner for doing what she wanted to the car.

Negative.. I like the spoiler, and I like the c7 z06 wheels.
Gonna be taking off the ls6 intake and ported TB, for a fast or msd. That should really wake up the 402..
Gonna be taking off the blackout turn signals, and blackout tails for stockers.
Want to raise the car back up to stock height. Hate lowered cars.

I think you should keep the handles I know a guy who May be parting out a Vette soon at his paint shop, he has a set of tail light covers that are chrome/flame that would fit in perfectly.
