As you now know, it was not a standard item on the C5. I have seen cars where the owner added the chicklet to their car and that is their choice, but it is not something I would keep on the car.
It is your car and if the added item meets your fancy, keep it. I just amazed at all the negatives from members on appearance stuff to cars that does not meet their "OME" requirements but not seen the same negative on stuff like exhaust tips, different body panels, hoods, wheels, antennas, bumpers, 'mud' flaps, body side molding, etc. Keep it if you like it..

Lots of people are looking for comments, for the most part I try to be honest. If I bought a car and it had something on it that didn't belong I would want it removed. Its not being negative its just giving advise.
I assumed they were executive bullet hole covers , for those who shun a tougher show car presentation.
In a long ago TV detective show, 77 sunset strip, they fixed up the wild kookie young guy parking valet character who sometimes helped out, with a pretty nice hot rod to drive. Turned out it was already kind of famous for quality, a real nice build where they left the three bullet holes in the left rear drivers side body as a part of the full custom paint job, from the days when the shell was abandoned in the desert.
Yep, they were done by GM to bring more brand awareness to the brands they still had during the bankruptcy. Lots of people added them to other older cars around that time. Not offensive or anything, certainly much uglier things done to C5s around these parts (and the Internet at large) but if you aren't into it, pull 'em off.

Slideshow: A Jaguar designer's personal project imagines what a modern front-engined Corvette might look like if Chevrolet revisited the golden age of the Stingray.
Anybody know what this is?
