Default Grand Sport Side Fenders (Ugly Gills)

Has anybody ever thought of using bondo to cover those ugly gills on the front fender for the Grand Sport? Fill it in and make it look like a Z06 instead. Anybody ever do this?

Have you ever thought of drilling a hole in your head with a 1" drill bit and let your brains slide out. Ever do that?

The Gills are what makes the GS the best looking C6 ever.

I understand the variations in taste. I owned a C2 and liked the 63 and 64 horizontal gills, did not like the 65 or 66 verticals, but loved the 67 vertical gills/slats. I like the GS gills, but have never liked the fender stripes.

Actually he got just the reply he was looking for. No one could ask that question looking for a favorable response.

No need. A bit of drywall and setting compound is what I used. I actually followed up with flower wallpaper to make the Z06 owners super jealous.

Duck tape would work too. Think I'll leave mine stock.

I don't like the gills, but it would not keep me from buying a GS...

Can't believe this thread is for real but if the OP is serious (which is doubtful) why wouldn't you just change out the fenders with ZO6 ones.

That would be too easy and logical.
