It is like taking an attractive woman and putting a bone through her nose.

Someone just bought a used LMB C6 on this forum and they looked pretty good. Not my style but I can think of a few other things I wouldn't want first.

I have the Brittany spears installed on mine and they look really hot. Sometimes, they can get a bit unhinged, but they always seem to come right back.

If you like them that's fine...to each their own. Personally, I don't like them.

Since the evening news has announced that GM and Chrysler have been in discussions of a merger, then by all means put spears on your car.

Corvette + Crossfire = Crossvette

I have the Billet fender blades (I think a lot of you don't realize there's a difference between the SPEARS and the BLADES) on my C6. I like them a lot. I think the black blades go well with my black z06 repro's. They're subtle and they add a good accent IMO. I don't have any pics yet because it's been too crappy out lately to take good pics. I will post some when I get a chance. Not sure why people hate on them so much. Oh well.

While I wouldn't put them on my car, I do find it amusing the amount of people that absolutely hate them...but have other, random, tacky chrome splattered all over their tailights/tag surrounds/door handles/gas doors/grills/door sills etc

HAHA that is actually my car about 4 months ago just before I bought it.

So that being said, I would have never personally installed them, BUT already having them on my car I didn't have an initial option. The reality is that I really like them and have received tons of compliments on how well they look

Here's another one

I returned these back to Ecklers. I didn't like the fact that the spear and screen are two separate units and you still have to take a wheel off to install the screen. The APSIS units sound more promising and look similar to the units factory installed on the 09 XLRs.

Like so many mods - different doesn't necessarily mean better.
