and here are spears.


Hope this helps
I returned these to Ecklers (upper pic) last month. Wheels have to be removed for installation and screen and blade are two different pieces. No like

My Vette came with them installed as well. I actually like them as they break up what is a very plain looking side. However, there is a difference in the blades and spears as mentioned...I would not like the spears from the Eckler's link. The three blade is not very big and adds only a little chrome. If everyone liked them, everyone would have them, lol! Then again, flames are not my thing. It's what makes us have a unique look, but I always enjoy looking at what others do.....whether I like or not, the imagination and time are respected!

Actually I never thought I would say this about spears but they look really good on your car.

Thanks....I don't know if I would have installed them myself, but as they were already on the car, didn't have much choice, lol!! But they tend to break up the color and side some, adding a little 'bling' but not too much, and I have liked them since the date I purchased the car.
