It makes me sick when I go to a Corvette show to see all the "chrome dress up parts" on the engines. So, I don't see why these same people wouldn't buy that ugly cr@p also.

I bought a set. After installation I dyno'd the car and got 13 extra horse power.
I wonder how much more I would have gotten if they were YELLOW!

You gotta upgrade your suspension before going to Yellow!

BTW, just to be clear, what is actually being sold? Are they chrome boomerang stickers?
