About a little over a yr ago if I'm not mistaken, one of the Vendors had a GP on the Euro's and the combo was part of the deal. I personally liked the look of the combo on my color Vette better. Believe it or not there are many Vettes out there with the combination Euro's, that is how they are setup in Europe. Since the license plates are so long in Europe, they don't have the backup lights like we do in the states so the clear lenses are a functioning reverse light over seas.

The ECS team have an excellent reputation!

I plan to schedule an appointment with Chris to work their "magic" on my 2004 C5 while visiting family in NJ later this year - see future mods below in sig.

I know I'm not the only one waiting to hear the results of this combination. Chris don't forget to list all the technical stuff, I've been getting a lot of questions I can't begin to answer.

And he isn't even a licensed lumberjack. At least I'll have pieces to remember her by. Anybody know how to convert a heads up display so I can plug it in a wall outlet?
