Marginally better than these, but not much.

Obviously, you have major doubts, or you wouldn't be asking for opinions from strangers.
True, thanks for the opinions guy's

How come "guy's" gets an apostrophe but "opinions" doesn't?

Shift that apostrophe down to a comma, and he is good to go!

Because he quoted one
guy's opinion?
Or, perhaps, he doesn't know any better, and figured he ought to use one
somewhere .

They came already installed on my 2005 Machine Silver (like the pic in the link) and I can't imagine my car without them...I think they are a great substitute for not having any badges (GS, Z06, ZR1) since mine is a Z-51.
Would I pay $260 for them...no.
But if you have a hole in your pocket, you'll love them.

Its apparent you are not in the market for some side speers, huh? (lol). I just detest the chrome ones, and these are the only ones I have ever seen that are not chrome. If someone likes the chrome ones, that's okay with me, just not my thing.

Just because you don't like them, they are not necessarily junk....though I understand why you would not put them on your car.

Next you will want to hang fuzzy dice from your inside mirror.
Truth be told at one time the spear thought had crossed my mind but admittedly left quickly.
In the end it is up to you what makes you happy.

Fuzzy dice are great in a Chevy Shoebox or most any other US car from the 50's.
