Was the license frame standard? If not where are they available?

At least in body color they are more subdued.

It could look worse if that's possible?

If I had those on I'd have taken them off in a heartbeat. With my set being body color they aren't as obvious and a narrower profile helps. I don't think they sell them at pepboys though.

Mine had them on it when I bought it.
They have the Corvette emblem on them, so I don't believe they came from pep boys.
May have been a dealer option.

I asked the po when I first looked at the car the afternoon I bought it, about the chrome treatment on the back of the car.
She stated it was a $950.00 option, so I just assumed it was a dealer option when she bought the car new.

What, no ‘CHROME’ Corvette lettering? What a train wreck. Can some Caliper Covers (in CHROME of course) be far off?

I hate the CHROME ‘set’, looks horrendous period, but what do I know.
Having said that, the red set on red tail lights, on your red ride looks really OK to me, cause they ‘blend in’ with the light assembly. They would also look OK in black on any color car.

Anyone have a trick to remove those screw caps. I got two off pretty easily, but the others either are stuck because of paint, or they just spin around.

They just snap in, get a fine screwdriver and they just pop off.

Wow! I hope the owner got a complimentary "Members Only" jacket with that set up. That and a popped up polo collar to complete the look.

No Jorts, a Hawaiian, a straw hat, and new balance sneakers . It's all part of the package
