I found this quarter window vent when I followed the link on the current waterfall thread, https://www.scorpionfiberglasscreations.com/.

It's assuredly non-functional, but I think it looks good, reminiscent of old Mustangs. Any of you have them on your car?

I'll bet some folks would install these if they came with a crossed-flag emblem.

If that item was standard on the C7, there would be a thriving business about how to remove it and replace with a small window.

Were they functional, they'd sell to the addicted to modding, modders.

Wow guys!

I don't think there really bad, i've seen a lot worse from our members over the years.

My only concern would be they block your outside view on the sides.

If they were functional that would be a +1.
