Help me out here. Side vents too much?
I like them on other peoples cars. But I don't think I like them on mine. I sanded them smooth, and painted them gloss black like the wheels and halo.
Thoughts?

One of the worst afterthoughts ever designed. GM got it right on the C7, of course, because it was part of the new design. But, even on the C5 Z06 they just interrupt the lines of the car.

I like the looks of them on the coupe/vert. I had them on my '00 coupe.
One word of caution though - I would not paint them - they tend to get a lot of rock chips and if painted they will be looking really bad after a short period of time. Even the factory black ones get to looking rough after a while.
