Thanks

They look best on vehicles with the optional body side molding installed.

Sorry - no pics.

Here's a pic on a vehicle.

They actually look like a good place to store car care products or small parts while working on the car.

I've seen them in photos but they never show the entire car. It's hard to tell from a close-up shot. IMHO, they aren't really right for the C6 but look great on classics.

Just my opinion.
