I dont normally go for any sort of body mods as I kinda like it the way the General designed it but these look GREAT! I cant imagine how hard it would be for me to make that first cut in the hood to install them though....

IMHO, the C4 could only benifit from them!! :yesnod: That engine area gets so darn hot.... alternator, starter, anything electrical gets baked! Can you order them al-a-cart? How would they look on a Red Vette? :blueangel:

I was just going to ask the same question about drivers who actually *drive* their cars and what happens in a downpour. Thanks!

So, you folks don't think the air-extractor louvers are rice-y, eh? Following the law that functionality determines rice-ness? I'll buy that.

Try the Greenwood poster that was on a few days ago. Should be able to find his information in archives.

I talked to the guy about installation.. In his option this is something you should never try at home.. He mentioned the curves of the hood and angle..etc..etc.. make it very difficult.. Supposedly it took a hand full of bodyshop guys the better part of a day just for the hood inserts..

and yes, you can get them al-la-cart.. that was my first question :cool:

Yeah, KaleCo makes a kit that uses steam to simulate nitrous. Some of the ricers use it on the corners of their wing for that "check me out I'm jettin' look". Could be adapted very easily to the hood vents. :)

Very nice. I like 'em.

Rice-y? I don't think so, but if they were chrome...with LIGHTS... :rolleyes:
