I AGREE!! I had them on my C4 and C5. They were great. Also, I had a Lexan bra for my C4 that was clear and was mounted in such a way that it was about 1.5 inches away from the body. The only downside to it was you had to run a front plate due to the fact the bra was fastened using the plate holder screws.

I wish someone would start making them too. I had the black ABS (no-drill) ones from Ecklers on all 8 of my C5's, and they save tremendously on paint chips, plus they don't look bad at all. Can't believe that a vendor has not jumped on this opportunity, if any of them are listening, please make them no-drill and use the factory fasteners for attachment. Don't care if they are painted, the black ABS was fine. Please hurry!!!!!!

Hey Harvey, don't listen to these guys BS. If they even own a Corvette of any kind, they have probably lowered it to look like a rice-rocket so everything scrapes underneath too! Combine that with all of their 3M and Cleartastic band aids, when they trade the dealer will think it is a Humvee from the Iraq war! Crap, all I want is to keep my car looking nice without sticking a bunch of sh**t on it.

Default Only if..

Not a bad idea, but only if they have those outlines of naked women on them.
Now, that would be classy.
