Default which Z06 screens?!?!

my vararam should be here this week, and along with the install i would like to add some Z06 screens in the front. ive been looking on ebay and every set looks different. i just dont want to end up purchasing JUNK! i dont feel like spending over $100 on screens though either!

anyone buy a set off ebay? how were they? or if anyone has a good place to purchase them at a decent price?!

thanks for any advice!

I've been looking for a set myself for awhile now. It seems that the aftermarket ones are 10 to 15 dollars cheaper. I don't know if the quality is that much worse. I did see one post here from someone who bought both and sent the aftermarket ones back. But like yourself I think $100 for the screens is a little pricey.

Are you talking about the fog light screens or the other 6 screens? If you're talking fog light screens, buy those from Corvettes of Houston. You probably won't find them cheaper and most likely those are OEM. If you're talking about the other 6 screens, buy from corvtteguy (aka vetteshop) on Ebay. I bought my screens from him and they're a perfect match with the OEM fog light screens. Can't beat $37.99 + shipping for the whole set.

Go with Corvettes of Houston. The stock ones look better IMO.
