I had typed "Never seen them on a Vette..... Not sure I'd want to either", but I figured I would be nice....


But now everyone knows how I feel.

Shakey - Nailed it.

Hate to say but I have seen them!! They are on the c5 we just bought. I have the stock color handles coming in, just want to figure out how much the chrome ones go for, so I could possibly sell them.

Not sure you'd get much if anything for them.... What are you doing about the wing?

To each their own, I do like the wheels and color!

The side vent jobbies, wing, door handle covers detract from the Vette IMHO, but I am also one who tends not to add much to the body. Did you recently buy the Vette? Don't remember seeing a thread about it.

I suppose the carbon fiber stuff isn't horrible if you're into that, but that natural fiberglass stuff.... wow!

Congrats on the new ride and the beginning of the journey of making it your own
