Default Non typical cosmetic add ons.




I was browsing through a bunch of corvette parts here and there and came across this one. I think it looks ok but have not seen one on the street. What do you guys think ?

Kind of reminds me of the early C3 rear windshields but without being vertical. And without looking good. I want to like it. But I can't.

I agree. Add some fake caliper covers and stick-on rear Z06 brake ducts and be the hit at your next Corvette show.
